«  Not disappointing! »

I use it for 2 weeks. This is the first time I change the mic a guitar, I took Trembucker format to change the humbucker a Mexican HSS strat with a floyd rose. The original micro gave a good thick distortion, but the sound was a bit dull, and most importantly, gave feedback and uncontrollable little esthetiques full volume!
I turned to the micro as a base, I wanted a p90. Having a microphone that offers both balls of p90 and humbucker thickness told me tt on, I thought the risk was minimal as the p90 was good, and from seymour duncan rather it inspired confidence.
Well I'm not disappointed, the four options that offer micro really well done! Ability to select only the p90, micro simple type "rail" one, two humbucker mounted in parallel or in series. I use mostly humbucker in series and p90. For my style of music (doom with hi gain distortion greasy), the p90 side gross is ideal, and contrary to what I've read, I found the series rather beefy humbucker. Of course, this feedback less than my previous microwave, but it's still pretty saturated. his sound has a little natural saturation, it is a humbucker rock in general.
The clean sound is not bad either! My strat has 2 single coil pickups Van Zandt, I do not know what model, I would say that most blues-oriented rock. their sound is very clean crystalline, warm and dynamic, very rich. P rail is certainly lower, but it is not at all cheap. Clean and warm enough for my taste, maybe more subdued. At this level, I would even say that the rail is not more strat / fender it, it remains in a more thick, but nice anyway. the parallel humbucker is not bad, it just did not have the same power offered by the series connection. Its sound is rather clear.

I do not regret this choice, things could satisfy me as much, but it really is a good microphone. I think we do not necessarily need the 4 positions, we will quickly his choice among the possibilities, but it makes it interesting to the microphone choice and meet more people can be like that! The next "gadget" can make suspicious, but it really made all these functions. It offers a real clean sound as big crunch or distortion hi gain. We do not play in my opinion this mic saying that it is particularly bad!
I said that I came up with the P Rail, which prevents me from really taking the lead: simple installation, use very simple, fast and convenient ... Perfectly suited for this microphone!
Note: You must format Trembucker to part like the microphone if you want to mount it on a guitar with a tremolo (type strat).
