Guitar Monkey CryoVibe EvoComp Titan Set

Swapped my existing Telecaster Brass saddles for the CryoVibe Titanium saddles. And i kept my previous strings, since i wanted to hear if there was an actual improvement noticeable or not.

And what a pleasant surprise. There is a complete tonal shift now. The low end with the CryoVibes is MUCH tighter. Gone is the previous boomy low end. The mids sound smoother now, also little bit more laid back and mellow. With the brass saddles my mids sounded annoyingly tinny. And the high end is dramatically less harsh now too.

This shift in tone goes so far that i had to dial up the treble and presence knobs on my various amps to compensate.

Attack is more pronounced now. Sustain is longer and of higher quality.

In my particular brass case this was a much needed improvement. The guitar sounds rounder, smoother, more musical now. However some of the twangy telecaster tonal character is also gone now.

Bottomline: if you are happy with the tonal character of your Telecaster don't swap your saddles. If you are unhappy with how yours sounds, give these CryoVibes a chance. You might be pleasantly surprised!
