Seymour Duncan Pegasus/Sentient 7 Set BK

Ich benutze sowohl die 6-Saiter als auch die 7-Saiter Version dieser Pickups und bin durchweg zufrieden. Für die Musik, die ich mache, brauche ich Tonabnehmer, die sowohl klare und warme clean Sounds, als auch bissige und stark verzerrte Lead Sounds umsetzen können. Diesen Anspruch erfüllen sie komplett.
Bzgl. der Verarbeitung bin ich ehrlich gesagt nicht sicher, ob es an den Pickups oder an der Chapman Gitarre lag, allerdings waren die Schraubenlöcher minimal schmaler als die der Original Pickups meiner Gitarre, weshalb ich mich um neue Schrauben kümmern musste (ich hätte auch die Löcher etwas ausbohren können, hab ich aber zu spät gemerkt und schon eine der Schrauben ausgefressen). Ich hab als Hinweis darauf bei der Verarbeitung einen Stern abgezogen, kann aber wie gesagt sein, dass der Fehler da nicht bei SD liegt.
Sound ist ja auch immer sehr subjektiv, ich würde aber persönlich für jede/n, der/die flexible Pickups für eher moderneren Sound sucht, diese Pickups empfehlen :)

Before buying this, I made sure to check out some demos of the pickups on YouTube, to see what they are supposed to sound like. After being impressed by what I heard, I came straight back onto here and made the order.

I replaced a couple of really cheap pickups from a nicely built 7 string guitar. It's a very simple process, if you know how to solder wires. Seymour Duncan have a video up on YouTube should you need further assistance. But in any case, the pickups come supplied with a manual with diagrams of different pickup setups. Again, you can find these on the Seymour Duncan website, as well as more specific requirements.

Now, I plugged in my guitar and with my usual distortion setup on my Line 6 Spider IV. I instantly noticed that strummed chords were much clearer and there was no feedback or unwanted sounds. However, palm-mutes appeared to have less aggression, in contrast to a different guitar I use that has EMGs. Nonetheless, this was easily solved by just adding a bit more overdrive or slightly increasing the distortion.

The clean sound was perfect and would work very well for chilled sections and even for music outside of metal. The versatility of these pickups, in my opinion, make it a better option for those who want to make the most of their guitar, as they can make effective use of it for more genres, such as metal, rock, jazz, etc.

If you seriously need more aggression in your sound though, I would recommend the Nazgul/Sentient pickups. In any case, I would still go for these due to their flexibility and versatility. However, before you go ahead and make your decision, I would definitely suggest you check the Pegasus/Sentient/Nazgul videos on YouTube.

Questa accoppiata di Pegasus / Setient sono stati il mio primo avvicinamento al mondo di Seymour Duncan e devo dire che se la famiglia è così allora non vorrò mai più cambiare!
I pickup sono fantastici, li ho montati su una chitarra Harley Benton e in un paio di prove quella che era partita come una chitarra muletto è diventata la mia 7corde di punta.
Il suono è cristallino e definito, ma ricco e corposo sulle basse, il feel sulle dita mentre si suona è indescrivibile, ha una risposta alla plettrata davvero piacevole. Sui distorti il suono è organico e perfettamente comprensibile, il Pegasus è assolutamente gestibile con equalizzazione e tono della chitarra e vi darà grandi soddisfazioni; il Sentient è qualcosa di inarrivabile per i soli, caldo e avvolgente, avrei voluto scoprirlo prima.
Sono soddisfatto al 200% e non tornerò più indietro.
