Frequently Asked Questions
Voice 1 nails a classic PAF vibe, while Voice 2 offers a slightly hotter, more aggressive tone. Voice 3 delivers a surprisingly convincing single-coil character, though it’s not a direct substitute.
Being Fluence pickups, they’re exceptionally quiet, significantly reducing noise compared to many traditional humbuckers. However, shielding your guitar’s cavities is always a good practice.
While you *can* use your existing pots, the included ones are specifically chosen to complement the pickup’s voicing and output, so they’re highly recommended for optimal performance.
