I use a pair of microphones Blackout September 2008 (ie around 6 months back), I really hsit between them and the well-known pair EMG 81/85 but I thought it was necessary try a little and not stay in the wake of the ordinary (arf how beautiful the poetry in rveil). I have an Ibanez ART320 Mount (body and mahogany set neck and rosewood fingerboard hard enough) and I found quite quickly that the microphones well CHARACTERISTICS transcribe the guitar, whether in round or in easel. I test the microphone on a skyscraper in alder and aa pretty well confirm what I thought, silent sound drier, more banging, less round than the mahogany.
Moving to the same test that was:

Music-clear: a nice surprise for "EMG-like", as in round bridge, the sound is trs beautiful, well balanced and the neck pickup does not dborde low dgueu that g Chenta any sound (I had this problem before with a little passive "midrange"), the neck pickup is dbrouille trs well, it's not too slamming "quack" Alfred Quack-Jojo and may make a small intro without clear switch and crash like an asshole when placing in distortion.

-Sons crunch: it's pretty, it's beautiful, has remained robust but starts out that the neck pickup lacks a bit of roundness and this, even changing its rglage.

-Distorted sounds: it is their area of ​​prdilection, the pickup turned a holorge francomtoise RULES by Switzerland, good balance, a level lower lev rgal for palm -mute, high output, good DEFINITIONS, silent, in short, a canon of the genre. The black dot is the neck pickup is not quite got round me, it sounds good, although full and well Dfine but it lacks the small peak in the low mdiums that makes each sweeping is exquisite.

I'm pretty happy, even trs happy because I do not spend my time sweeper, I prfre play: D I do not regret is aggressive in my style m east tal / heavy and there is just the problem of the neck pickup too round hurts me.
I recommend it highly for those who hsite between "discrete" Seymour and the "hyper popular" EMG, allows a bit of originality.

[8] neck pickup next to the unsatisfactory performance of the bridge pickup.
