All user reviews of 4/5 for the Seymour Duncan SSL-5 Custom Staggered Strat

I use this mic since January 2010.
I was looking for a simple good punchy, with a fairly high output level to implement a strat acute, as Gilmour, since this is how it is mounted on his signature Stratocaster.
So I started to ride along with Duncan SSL-1, as is recommended on the site of Duncan. I thought the microphones were unbalanced. Intermediate position was correct, but the SSL-5 only has an output level much too high, so I was obliged to decline to have a uniform thing, and suddenly, I felt I did not operate properly.
So, I mounted on a middle stratum in MSM, with a hot track and a serious Duncan SH-5, acute. Here he has revealed to me. Intermediate combinations sounded very good, with the split, it sounds very Fenderiennes got really happy in this position. He finds in this position a little warmth and presence.

Then I found a set of Fender Fat 50's, and I decided to give it a chance recently to position sharp with this set ... But disappointment, despite the gilmour fan than I am, I can not do anything. The output level is more appropriate this time set in 50's conceited, but I think this mic is cold, stale limit. He is flashy, aggressive enough, and lack of heat will make it will return in another config ...

So to summarize, I find this microphone perfect with twin high output level, but it does not correspond to a micro strata as I love them. This lack of warmth, not expressive, but it is too flashy and aggressive especially in easel ...
