Micro ceramic pads (one row adjustable), gain level a bit higher than the average of the usual neck pickups ..

I tested it in neck and bridge (in its TB-6), a known Lag (lime) and Jackson (alder).
All in my usual rig (TriAx '2:90 and 1960A).

For this advice, I put it only in neck (I will post a notice for the latest TB-6), coupled with a DiMarzio Evolution, a DiMarzio X2N, a Duncan TB-6 and a Bill Lawrence 500XL. Yes, given the nature of the beast, put a microphone "nice" in the bridge is a little inappropriate. In short.

This microphone has a frequency response with a good dip in the midrange, from the outset. It is felt in clean: the sound is not as fat, round or smooth than other mics I've ever had, Duncan Jazz and '59, DiMarzio PAF Pro, and even the EMG 81 and 85.

It is even fairly rich in high frequencies. I was surprised that it was more singing and sounded better in the neck, with more presence and definition that the 500XL and laid in X2N bridge!
Evo in a bridge is something else, as the Evo is one of acute burning fat all by itself.

In clean, it may do the trick, if it has led the typed response curve. It is not ridiculous.

His thing is the big crunch and distos, where he is very good. He is singing, harmonic sound easy, the sound is there, from the outset. It does not bleed too much, in addition, unlike the '59 and Jazz.
Funny, I finally found one that I really like Duncan!

Finally, the grain goes well with the two guitars I had on hand for my little test. It sounds different but very bieng on both.

Finally, yep, this microphone was really over, and I think I'll keep it on my chtite Jackson, history of having a different sound of my other guitars. He currently is part of my favorite passive pickups, DiMarzio PAF Pro with and Fred!
