    What I like most about this mic is the color of the sound I get high saturation, a fat, heavy, but full of biting with heat, which gives it a veritable presence. Great sound that keeps m'tonner every time I play with.
    With the pose I pay 120euros. I repeat that choice because I am really fallen in love with these sonorits! To you to try now ^^
    He that marries very well with the violin in my bc rich.
    un 10/10 for a sound that I fell in love

    Mont easel
    (With sh5 on handle)
    I use it with satu 90% of the time.
    its clean, sharp and spicy.
    I almost played with the microphones (leaving for the tale sh5: p).
    its pretty cool all the same, in my ideal taste for the extreme metal, see lead guitars:]

    Excellent microphone!

    I discovered this microphone when I bought my ESP Horizon NT2 because there is fitted as standard.
    Playing only metal I was afraid that is not Sh4 clapped for large distortions because it is rarely presented as a suitable micro metal.
    Yet it is just great in this style for its versatility.
    I use it for the rhythmic distortions as Deftones, Tool, Gojira (3 groups with guitarists use or have used the sh4) and System of a Down.
    It has a large output level, an exceptional grain and warm, giving it the appearance that some describe as "organic." In short an excellent microphone for metal that has nothing to envy to the EMG 81, I have also not appreciated when I compared the SH4.

    I bought one to replace my bridge DiMarzio dactivator Iceman because DiMarzio was cold, too loud and lacked precision. I am very happy to have made this change, SH4 gives excellent results on the mahogany body of this guitar.

    So more: - versatility
    - Accuracy
    - Heat and super grain, very "organic" and personal
    - High output
    - Good retransmission nuances of the violin
    Not less.
    The price / quality ratio is very good, and I would do this choice without worry.

    I tested this with a micro steinberger gt pro deluxe
    but I think this guitar gives her a little too cold with these pickups seymour
    other than that, this micro lot higher harmonics, long and strong everywhere! the entire sleeve
    harmonics last longer than a DiMarzio Fred and especially where they exit fred's hard because it lacks output level
    to split, it is still quite powerful: not strat
    with a single, it can be a bit of illusion to say strait (bridge + middle), but it is far
    So, for super micro solos: large output level
    some say it is not a precise micro

    this microphone close to perfection ... gain level and slamming equilibré.definition good without being great nonplus execive ... the old blues (volume 6) has the Mettalica this is currently my favorite porn ... that micro more ... some say compares it to the pearly gates, I see no connection between these two micro ... has donf harmonics, large output level but not too ... basically it's perfect ... can be too great for some ...

    The Seymour Duncan JB Pickup (AKA TB4) is a very nice humbucking pickup. Built in the USA, they were originally designed for guitar god Jeff Beck. The sound is similar to an old Gibson PAF pickup, only with a bit more bite and aggression. The pick attack is crisp and clear, and the output is high, but not ridiculously so. These pickups can also be very smooth and singing in the neck position, with plenty of rich harmonic overtones. The pickup is available in a four conductor version, to allow for split coil sounds, and I'd definitely recommend going that route, as the single coil sounds that can be coaxed from this pickup are quite airy and spanky, like a good Fender pickup.

The pickup is available in a four conductor version, to allow for split coil sounds, and I'd definitely recommend going that route, as the single coil sounds that can be coaxed from this pickup are quite airy and spanky, like a good Fender pickup.

    The pickup really excels at classic rock tones and metal. With coil tapping, it's pretty good for country/chicken pickin', and in the neck position with the tone control rolled off, it can make a pretty nice convincing jazz tone.

    In building guitars, this makes a good "calibration" pickup, as many luthiers are familiar with its inherent tones, and it can allow the builder to really hear what contributions the wood and hardware are making to the overall tone before settling on the perfect pickup to complement the guitar. Many times, this pickup still ends up being the final choice!

    So many guitars come stock with this pickup nowadays, and with good reason. I've owned a Parker PM-20 Pro that came with this pickup, as well as an LTD M-1000, and I've played a great variety of guitars in music stores where the stock bridge pickup was a JB. I also bought one of these pickups ala carte and put it in a Fender Telecaster - that was a great sound and feel! Oftentimes, the JB pickup is paired with a Jazz (Seymour's personal favorite combination) or a '59 in the neck, and either choice is good. I am a big fan of Seymour Duncan pickups, and I've never really heard a bad one. This pickup is no exception, and I'd certainly recommend it as a good all-around workhorse pickup for anyone.

    This is the MODEL says "jeff beck".
    a micro catalog since trs long and one of the most sold.
    he indeed mdiums juicy but also a good capacity to bring out the harmonics of a single shot pulp distortion.
    it saturates bcp ... more than a "jeff beck", if the DSIR with a trs good sustain.
    it's more of a micro distortion that's clear, but it is the splitter or to parallle (with switch) if the DSIR.
    it is an excellent microphone, not too expensive and with a distortion and not too juicy electric razor!
    then recess ... everyone has ... but that's normal: it can rveiller many guitars with Corenne rsultat impressive. there are other good mics, but I recommend it without the inquitude.

    5 years. microphones dlivrant beautiful harmonic sound and good power. nothing can be loved less on micro. I have almost all of my guitars pickups, emg, fender, gibson, 490 and 498, bursbucker, micro esp lh 200, pearly-gates at the seymour, seymour alnico 2 home, di Marzio Tone Zone, the rest sh4 one of my prfrs. quite good given the quality at all levels. I would do without this choice problem.

    Micro needle with a lot of attack, a lot of gain, I took him for his hard-hitting, my game goes with a
    In a large distortion but should not push donf if the grain is less beautiful
    In crunch / clear not much I use it only prfrant combination with the neck pickup, good as a wholesale level bcp crunch has not hurt and even in its clear ... but by combining the sound becomes prcis and powerful sound in these two

    He rode home on my LAG, coupled with the inevitable SH1 59 ... And it's simply divine.
    Compared with Di Marzio PAF PRO and Super Distortion, it is light years ahead.

    It has a grain incredible versatility of a rare. This responsiveness, this level of output and made such a low / Medium in the light or whatever the level of saturation mailings that he seems unreal for a passive pickup.
    Split it become worthy of the Fender bridge. Or how to go from Gilmour, Vai was in Machine Head with a single microphone.
    Its agreement with one in SH1 Neck is well established. The versatility in its purest form!

    Micro 2005.Son used for hot, very rock.De harmony, balance, strength, character, good side définition.Monté chevalet.Je used almost exclusively in distorted sounds, I think it ' its mission is 1ère.Il goes very well with single coil and a rosewood handle. This is frankly micro instantly.

    Mount on a Ibanez SZ520QM and coupled with an SH1-N4C neck.

    Micro incredibly hot, a sacred grain, full of harmonics. Goes perfectly with the mahogany.

    Trs Oriental vintage, rock, blues, punk or metal.

    Distortions become inflamed with such a microphone, clean sounds are a little garish but allows all the same pretty arpges in split (especially with the SH1, see my opinion on the microphone).

    The bomb the mic, I'm in love ...

    Hi, this is my favorite micro hehe ... [bridge position]

    I use it on a mahogany Cort (PRS style). I played on EMG, and Prs Gibson.
    It is very special and enjoy a beautiful velvety. Extremely warm and round, it is beautiful in the high (but is doing less well in the lower).

    The clean sound is terrible, in a style jazzy trip-pop (yes heuu TT ..) it works wonders. It was indeed within all the assets of my compositions.
    In disto he is doing okay, but I like less rhythmic rock with (I prefer the SH1 in this case).

    The sustain is good.
    € 80 for nine short I find the ratio q / rather good price!

    Mount on a Yamaha SA800, 1 / 4 of caisee (style 335) since 1985.
    Collapsed with laughter when I see, "micro cold enough", since it is the opposite.
    Adapt to rock hard. APRS is just a mistake of the buyer who should go after that it even. Its Notore is not a coincidence ...
