Frequently Asked Questions
The push/pull functionality provides distinct voicing changes, unlike many Fishman pickups that offer more subtle tonal adjustments. It's a significant shift in character, not just a slight tweak.
Absolutely, the Fluence design is exceptionally quiet, minimizing noise and hum, making them ideal for studio recording and live performance. The active circuit contributes to a very clean signal.
While some early Fluence models were criticized for a clinical sound, the Classic HB set is voiced to retain warmth and character. The AlNiCo 5 magnets and carefully selected voicings prevent that overly processed feel.
