Mounted in the neck position in the company of a super distortion s on an old Stratocaster with rosewood fingerboard.

Prevent far away, the couple chopper / super distortion is not the best for my taste (but can be quite pleasing, it's just a personal opinion) because the chopper is a micro rather then living that is super distortion very dry at the grain, so basically two opposing microphones.

Let's talk about the qualities of the chopper:

-No background noise but at the same time it is a double standard
-Excellent dynamics and a good response to the volume knob
The grain-a very simple boosted with the gain of a double
-A personality all its own (indeed surprising for this type of microphone)

The microphone is very good in itself and runs well on all types of sounds (clean, crunch, saturated) but where it is most impressive is in lead. The impression of a shredder neck pickup sound and powerful set of strat is quite nice (surprisingly well) mainly with sustain that goes with it.

The microphone is also good split and in parallel in full. While in parallel, the sound changes very little except how the tone and responds background noise.

In summary, I think it is highly successful in the role for which he was personally designed although it is still behind evolution neck (best neck pickup heard so far for me) but it does not exist in simple format .
