Generator Humbucker Pickup Set, Black, 50mm Spacing - Alnico 5 Magnets, High Output, Perfect For Rock And Metal, 4-Conductor Wiring, 5-Year Warranty

I was looking for pickups for Epiphone Explorer Pro TV Silver. It's not I didn't like stock pickups, but they sounded too weak for the music I wanted to play on this guitar. I tried several budget pickups, like Entwistle, Tesla or Artec, but couldn't get the sound I needed. I found out I would look for Alnico 5 based pickups, a little overwound, but not as extreme as Tesla Plasma-3 where power is achieved at the cost of sound clarity. I didn't like ceramic-based Entwistle pickups either, they just sounded too cold and a little soul-less. Surprisingly, the closest to what I was looking for were Epiphone Alnico Classic pickups, but they lack a little clarity and do not allow for coil-splitting. Thus, I decided to give these Tonerides a chance. I was surprised they came in elegant, small, transparent plastic boxes. Inside there was protective foam, mounting screws and springs, and a brief wiring diagram. The pickups are well manufactured, I think they can compete with much more expensive pickups in terms of make quality. Two things a little disapointed me - wire color code is not compatible with anything I used before, and the neck pickup is probably to be mounted reverse-side, i.e., screw side towards bridge and slug side towards neck. But on the other hand, it reminds of one of my most favourtite guitar player, Gary Moore, whose some guitars had neck pickup reverse-mounted, too. In terms of sound, there is nothing to complain about. The neck one is warm but not muddy, the bridge gives sharper sound, but not cold. The sound is close enough to what I expected to make me stop looking any further. The pickups are good for playing clean and with overdrive, either low or high. I'd rather suggest the Generator pickups for those who need classic and warm, but strong sound. They can be useful for playing classic rock, hard rock, classic metal. I am not sure if they are useful for blues, but who knows. These pickups are surely worth their price.

Great tone at all levels, loads of power when pushed without muddying the tone. Fitted to a les paul copy which has transformed it sound. Will be upgrading another guitar soon.

The Bridge for now works well, sounds good, for my learning.

Unbeatable for the price. Great little UK company.

Thick sound, good mids, but i found it to have too much top end, can sound fizzy with too much gain, might be better with a 250k pot

Great sound. My old cheap guitar now breathe's fire!

Having already purchased a pair of Tonerider Alnico 5's for my Epiphone Les Paul (to replace the water weak original pickups) I thought I'd give these a go to beef up my Tokai Explorer. Beef up is right! Thick and chunky with plenty of juicy sauce. The only reason I'm not 5 starring 'em is the strange layout of the neck pickup. The pole screws are on the bridge side not the neck and I wonder why Tonerider chose to do this. Very strange. Overall tho' great value for money. Just waiting for them to bring out a dogear P90 and I'll be super chuffed.

Un petit soucis lors du premier envoi, je n'ai eu qu'un humbucker sur les deux. Je les ai retourné et enfin, j'ai pu avoir le Humbucker bridge et le Humbucker Neck lors du second envoi. Rien à redire sur les micros, ils sont vraiment meilleurs que les micros vendues avec ma Lespaul Ephiphone. On peut les configurer en mode Simple ou double sur chaque Humbucker. Je les ai montés avec des potentiomètres Push-pull afin de les basculer tous les deux en mode simple ou double. Les aigus sont enfin très cristallins en mode Single Coil et même en double. C'est vraiment un très bon rapport qualité prix.

Ich habe die TRH2 Humbuckers in eine Harley Benton Flying V eingebaut. Stock klingt die Gitarre einfach nur flach. Die Form und das Holz ist gar nicht so übel. Deswegen habe ich mal einen Set Ernie Ball Saiten montiert und die Tonerider TRH2 Pickups installiert. Es klingt echt total anders, und es lässt sich genial cool drauf spielen jetzt. Der Sound ist satt und reicht für alles von Blues über Rock bis zu Metal. Clean sind die Pickups auch sehr sauber und deutlich. Ich kann die Toneriders sehr empfehlen. Eine deutliche alternative zu Seymour Duncan wenn das Budget nicht reicht.

Genial sonido, se adapta excelente al Coil-Split. Muy buen output y control con el volumen, con sólo el switch y los volúmenes te puedes olvidar del footswitch para los canales de tu ampli

Questi due pickup sono semplicemente spettacolari. Presentano un timbro molto bilanciato nelle varie frequenze e una versatilità incredibile, dovuta anche alla possibilità di splittare entrambi i pickup con un potenziometro push and pull o simili. Il guadagno del pickup al ponte è molto alto con una resistenza di 15,7k ohm e un timbro molto aggressivo sulla distorsione quando serve, mentre abbassando il volume sulla chitarra si riesce a ottenere un suono molto più morbido e versatile. Il pickup al manico ha un output molto più basso rispetto al suo compagno, sebbene non si apprezzi negativamente una perdita di sustain sul canale distorto, mentre sul canale pulito è possibile ottenere dei clean caldi e adatti per arpeggi e melodie. I pickup splittati mantengono le caratteristiche timbriche degli humbucker acquistando tuttavia una maggiore brillantezza, ma anche più rumore di sottofondo, sebbene sia comunque minore di altri pickup single coil che ho avuto la sfortuna di provare. Basta aggiungere un noise gate e non si sente nessun hummig. Se vi interessasse sentire alcuni sample ho fatto una recensione sul mio canale youtube Feudomusic in cui approfondisco le caratteristiche di questi due pickup. Assolutamente consigliati.

Pues gracias a una oferta de Amazon, y tras tiempo dando vueltas, decidí compralas para montarlas en una epi Les Paul standard. El resultado, muy muy bueno, la pastilla de mástil suena preciosa para limpios, sobre todo en single, y la de puente, caña, caña, caña... Enorme cantidad de distorsión y armónicos. La versatilidad que le da el modo single, hace que sea un juego bueno para todo tipo de música, lo más parecido a una jazz y jb y de SD el sonido y versatilidad. Reseñarar que tengo una Gibson Les Paul, y salvando las distancias de construcción de cada instrumento, la epi ahora no tiene mucho que envidiarle. Una compra muy muy acertada.
