Frequently asked questions
Are the White and Ivory versions tonally different?
No. Both share identical specs: 3.75 kHz resonant frequency, 0.7V RMS output, -90 dBV noise floor, Alnico V poles, and 240 microamp draw. Finish color only affects appearance, not sound.
Which installation method is easier?
The Ivory version emphasizes solderless wiring, while the White version highlights Quik-Connect compatibility. Both are designed for straightforward retrofit installation; solderless wiring may appeal more to players avoiding soldering entirely.
How long will the battery last?
Both sets deliver approximately 1000 hours of operation per standard 9V battery at 240 microamps current draw, making them equally efficient.
Are these suitable for metal or heavy distortion?
No. Both sets are explicitly not ideal for metal, thrash metal, or extreme distortion—they're voiced for clean and lightly driven tones in pop, indie, and rock genres.
