While many noiseless P90s have that stacked coil design, the Silencer series takes a different approach: www.seymourduncan.com/blog/latest-updates/p90-silencer-pickups
I’ve used the original Phat Cats for over 5 years in black top strats which have swimming pool routing for their original humbuckers, but never found them to be noisy, always quiet. These new silencer models will sound different because the magnets are ceramic, versus original alnico 2s. Looking forward to the inevitable comparison video to turn up.
@@seymourduncan does the nickel cover contain actual nickel? I’m badly allergic to nickel. I know, I won’t be touching the pickup while playing but I definitely would be if/when I install it.
Just had a set of these installed in a Schecter T style guitar because I didn't like the stock humbuckers in it. These things are quiet and sound incredible! Very happy with the guitar now.
Awesome tone. The brightness and clarity is really appealing. I bet it would cut through on stage really well. How are these different than the JJN P90???
Great! I bought your JJN for my LP jr project I received it yesterday. Can’t wait to slap it in the guitar. I want to maintain brightness so I’m using a 500K pot as well as a “treble bleed” aka greasebucket circuit. Do you think this will sound good?
Great mics. but I don't understand: the original p90s are wider and were designed precisely in this format which provides this sound. So the p90 humbucker format cannot be real p90s, they are technically different microphones? So here these are humbuckers which reproduce the p90 sound, like the noiseless single pickups at Fender are humbuckers which reproduce the sound of the single coil.
These are just the P90 but in a humbucker-sized housing. The P-rails (that I think you’re referring to) are a P90 but they also have a single “rail” coil attached and can be set up with switching options, via the TripleShot nothing rings, or other options, to make it output as just the P90, just the rail rail, or both together as a sort of humbucker. Look up some videos of them here on RU-vid, they’re quite impressive (when demonstrated properly)!
@@TheLowest Well, technically it's not a stacked humbucker, at least not in the way that is traditionally done and understood....from the same page, "The P90 Silencer uses a unique multicoil design that maintains the mid-range snarl, low end punch, and high end presence that has been difficult to emulate in prior noiseless P90 designs. Unlike traditional noiseless pickups, the P90 Silencer™ contains not two, but three coils under the hood: two “outrigger” coils wired in series, placed on either side of the center coil." So its construction and response is different from a normal noiseless stacked 'bucker.
