Frequently asked questions
Can I use the TS-2s on guitars other than Les Pauls?
The TS-2s is engineered specifically for Les Paul guitars and similar arched-top designs with standard humbucker cavities. It will not fit Nickel and Gold covered Trembuckers, and compatibility with other guitar styles depends on cavity dimensions and humbucker ring mounting patterns.
Does the BMP-1 require a battery?
Yes, the BMP-1 is an active preamp and requires a battery for operation. The description does not specify battery type or lifespan, so confirm with the manufacturer's documentation.
Which is better for noise-free recording?
The BMP-1 is purpose-built for low-noise recording with its balanced differential preamp topology and high-output design. The TS-2s is passive and does not add noise, but it also does not actively reduce it—noise performance depends on your existing pickup and wiring.
Do either require soldering to install?
The TS-2s requires integrating push-switches into your pickup rings and may require soldering depending on your wiring method. The BMP-1 uses solderless bare-wire lockdown connectors throughout, eliminating solder joints on pickup connections.
