    Seen Unearth many times. Met Ken once. A totally nice guy. What you see is what you get. You couldn't meet a more down to EARTH rock star.

    Good to see Ken debunk tone wood, even if it was unintentional. The PICK UPS make the difference, NOT the wood. I've always disliked EMGs. I started using them back in 86, and just didn't like them. Tried them again a few times over the years, and they just never resonated with me. Fishman's... (chef's kiss)... where it's at for sure. Still haven't played and Evertune equipped guitar tho. Honestly afraid to, cause I know I'll never be able to go back. haha

      Both are important but at least Fluence is consistent and letting you taste test the woods of your guitar

      Zed Chuva this has really got me thinking of swapping like for like emgs in my guitars. I have a Arsenal of esp/ltds all loaded with emgs but I have one dean far beyond driven ML that’s loaded with a 81 & 60 and it’s so boomy and low end flubby. Even with a tube screamer doing its job I have to eq that guitar going into my helix to cut some lows. Maybe a bunk pickup? I’m looking at a mh1000 and swapping the stock pickups for fishmans. Josh from Architects style.

    • @TheKensusi

      @Toxic Potato being the brand manager at fishman, I can say with full confidence that these pickups go through a series of tests indicating inaudible differences between one another. Replacing the inconsistent wire wound coil is 1 sep towards that goal. Plus, I've personally done so many A/B (same guitar/same pickup height) test that would confirm my statements about consistency. I don't know what you're hearing or where you are getting your "sound samples" but I can assure you that it's true!

      Basically pickups is just personal preference..some people get "their" tone out of certain pickup..either passive or active..there's a lot great metal tone produced by this type of pickups

      Glenn Fricker from Spectre Sound Studios recently debunked wood too.
      Hell, there are guys making nice sounding guitars out of cardboard, spaghetti, glass and other insane stuff.
      I call it visualwood from now on.

  • @dougleydorite
    @dougleydorite 4 роки тому

    “Active” and “analog” are not mutually exclusive. If it requires power to operate, it means it’s active.. just like passive speakers that don’t have an integral amp vs active speakers that are powered.

  • @richardsmith7322
    @richardsmith7322 2 роки тому

    I have the Green Bengal Satchel Charvel DK 22 pro mod with the Fishman pickups that came with it and kens not kidding! These are the best active pickups I’ve ever tried and their completely different from every other pickups out there. Their like the I-Phone of pickups idk man lol there not wire wrapped they have layers of computer chips. I would never want to install these in a guitar but buying a guitar with these stock is such a win for yourself.

    You can run the Synergy modules into the Randall RM100. I've had the RM100 MTS since 2009 and I'm trying to decide whether to sell it or buy some Synergy modules.

    Undercover boss ruined peavey for me. They way they over worked, refused to pay raises and outright lied to some of their 15+ yr loyal employees about them closing one of their American factories making all their people unemployed just disgusted me. Mabye at some point they cared about music, musicians and the employees who helped make their dreams come true but at this point those notions of family and loyalty are dead, bloated and buried. As for Ken & unearth ive loved their music since i 1st heard zombie autopilot when i was like 13yr old

  • @MK-oz2lf
    @MK-oz2lf 3 роки тому +3

    Yeah but the cool thing about passive pickups, Ken, is that each one is unique and becomes solely your sound. There's a fine line between reliable consistency and becoming assembled cookie cutter.

    • @roosterj2599
      @roosterj2599 2 роки тому +2

      Amen brother! Active pickups is like cheating. Zero individuality. Yeah they sound great and all, but they are sterile. I'm a Seymour Duncan addict. I primarily use the TB and SH 6 Distortion humbuckers and JBs. Recently put a 78 in one of my Kraner Barettas. I dont sound or play like EVH. I play like me and the 78 opened doors for me in search of my own sound.

    Perry asking basic questions about how evertunes work and how fishmans are powered like he has no idea is pretty unbelievable since both products have been around over 5 years and extensively covered by premier guitar prior to this.

    It’s funny because floyd used to suck but ppl did it and got over it, just now a new thing without the bar, I think it’s the same kinda routine. I love Floyd’s, but just don’t really use it. For guys like me, I think it be more down with this. It can be a bit daunting for ppl who just straight tune a guitar with regular bridge, but just learn it. Once it works man! I always felt like that when I set up my guitar. Play it for hours after a re string. Lol

    I hate guitars that have ebony boards with light colored wood on the backside of the neck...it doesnt go well with the overall "dark" theme of the guitar. It looks like the builder forgot to have the back of the neck painted...
