The absolute best metal pickup I have ever heard!
Catalin Cornea of Order 66 03.05.2020
Use:
I initially bought this in order to replace the bridge pickup on my Ibanez RG 370DX, but over time it ended up in an H-S Strat build that I have. I have to say, this is, by far, the best metal pickup I have come across so far:

Pros:
- Extremely Articulate;
- Medium Output - great note definition;
- F sized, perfect for all kinds of trems from strat types to Floyd Rose and Ibanez Edge;
- Obnoxiously aggressive sound through both high gain amps and amp simulation plugins;
- Very good chug sound for those interested in that aspect;
- Splittable - and it offers fantastic cleans;
- Yes, it djents.

Cons:
- None that I can think of regarding my own tastes, however:
- There is a strong mid-range punch in it that may not be suitable for old school metal tones;
- The fact that it is medium output may also mean that you may need to over-saturate an amplifier using a boost or overdrive pedal.

Conclusion:
For modern metal, ranging from Gojira to the new Megadeth records, Ola Englund's Feared and, obviously, Periphery, this pickup can easily do it all and the price is very good!

Great Modern Distortion Sound

This humbucker cleans up amazingly, handles distortion well and is perfect for hearing every note in complex chords.

Worth it if you have the money
Yngwie J 09.12.2022
Pros:
The pickup is dead quiet. I know it should be normal for a humbucking pickup to not hum but my Ibanez inf was noisy as hell. I don't know if this being with ceramic magnet helps but it's amazing.
You have plenty of options to wire it. I'm experimenting with parallel wiring for now.

Cons:
I can't think of any.

P.S.
I wanted to put cover on the pickup but later found out that DiMarzio f spaced pickups have 51mm spacing between poles and my cover won't fit this.

Amazing High-Gain humbucker
Fefo97 31.01.2023
I've never heard another humbucker be so much at ease under heavy gain.
It stays tight on the bass and articulate on the highs even at absurd gain levels, without being overly compressed to start with.
It has, however a very pronounced mid-range, with a vocal quality to it, which may not be of everyone liking.
It can do great clean tones too if your amp can handle its (very) hot output.
