YAHOOO!!! Now that was a great review, mahavishnu
Exactly what it does. It bumps up the frequencies that were hidden, makes it wider and warmer. The shrill high end is finally balanced with the presence of the others.
The scalarizer invites the other frequencies to join the party
just an update:
Last night, we replaced the crystal on my emg loaded tele with the metal core. our findings for active pick ups-
crystal core- gives it an acoustic quality. all notes ring out, but with warmth. if you think actives are saddam hussein sounding (cold and lifeless!), you'll have second thoughts about them with the scalarizer! very vintage with an added pleasant quality!
metal core- now, this was something else. the sparkle was still present, but the lows and mids where injected with steroids! far more woodier, it put the rock attitude back into the bridge and the jazz warmth into the neck pick up. i'm loving it! power chords where huge, and single notes had "push", you can hear EVERY note in a 16th note run. with authority!
that's where it's at
if you want added sparkle and character to your actives, go crystal. if its a bigger, woodier tone, metal core is it
that is, for single coils. i wish i was home when phoenix_rising came over
