2 micro SD SSL-1 vintage staggered mountains for several months on my Yamaha Pacifica 112: 1 in middle, the other neck. The bridge pickup is the original one (a double).
<p class="bbcode-offtopic"> Off topic: <span>The Pacifica 112 is not an exceptional violin, I'm not that these microphones sr show their full potential above, but is really more than adequate, it is close to a Start ...</span>
These microphones are really excellent in its clear! The sound is banging, but remain quite severe Submitted bringing warmth and roundness to the sound. No big diffrence in the clear between the neck pickup and the middle one.
The handle position intermdiaire / middle is funky wish! Crystalline trsractive your game
Intermdiaire position between middle and bridge SD pacifica is unfortunately rather dsquilibr for the bridge humbucker (much stronger), but it is workable and INTERESTED (quite incisive).
Microphones rpondent trs well for a crunch, but if you push the amp to drive a little further to get complicated! Grain microphones and low output level reserve them sound bright or low saturation. It is considered a rock of 60 ', but beyond the ssl1 s'avrent do not at all convincing. (Forget Rammstein, Metallica, Slipknot ...)
In his clear, and even more saturated these microphones have a fairly typical vintage. Perfect for the blues Steevy ray, a rock of Chuck Berry. The jazz musicians will also find their behalf, especially in positions intermdiaires.
Compared with the original pickups on my pacifica, they have an output level of just over leve (I think, vrifier), but also an attack more brand and more dynamic: the guitar comes to life!
A (big) ngatif point: these pickups capture all parasites (more than my original yam): Turn a CRT screen and you will hear a ct hlicoptre in your amp ! The shield of my cavity there is nothing

I chose these microphones APRS their reputable, opinions I've read above and the samples on the site SeymourDuncan.
These are trs good microphones, a honnte price (68 euros pice), but lack of versatility and a level of output is often frustrating when you leave the clean channel of the amp.
I do not regret my purchase, but I think I'll have to turn to less typs microphones, with a little potato.
