straogus « A great alternative »
Published on 11/16/10 at 14:38I use this set of microphones for 2 days on a copy of Gibson LP quality (Agile AL3100).
The original pickups of good quality although I do not give complete satisfaction. So I'm off to conquer the holy grail through testing various products from major manufacturers well known mics. But I stayed on my hunger after several trials.
More recently, one of the 2 pickups of my guitar is broke and I did not want to spend too much to replace. I was then tempted by the reasonable price of complete kit in Tonerider, without knowing what I was getting into.
Imagine my surprise when testing. The sound is there! These microphones compete without blushing with all Seymour Duncan I've tried. It smells alnico 2 full nose, and they are very versatile in a register rather Vintage (Blues / Rock / Hard Rock). I found much the same sounds as APH1 but better, ie more dynamic, more presence, a less scooped (characteristic of APH1). In addition they are well finished and are very nice. In short, I'm thrilled! Soon I bought my strat replacing its Texas Special.
