Frequently Asked Questions
Passive mode delivers a more classic, round tone; active mode adds clarity and enhanced EQ shaping through the Heritage-3 controls.
The C-profile is generally comfortable, but it's a bit on the slimmer side, so players with very large hands might find it slightly cramped.
It's a bit warmer and smoother than a typical ceramic pickup, offering a more vintage tone, but with more output than alnico pickups – a nice middle ground.
