Arcane ultratron humbucker12/2/2023 ![]() I think that's a record for him.Intrepidly blurring the lines between the traditional “solid body” and “hollowbody” guitar, comes yet another steely gem from the author of alloy, James Trussart. He finally decided to try the Arcane and it's sill in his guitar 6 months later. Though the guy was too unbridled to behave on Rig Talk, he has a great ear for tone and is a good player and he has also gone through the whole gamut of boutique pickups and arrived back with Duncan like I did. But, I also think you have that spot on tone with the DiMarzio Super Distortion which is a completely different world.Įven donbarzini is still digging his Brownbucker. I think in your hands and with one of your amps it would be spot on. I find that for what I do, the Brownbucker is really, really cool. I am not truly going for an EVH sound, just a sound that starts in that ballpark to do my own sort of thing with. I don't really have that feel down and I normally just use a stock Super Lead or in the case of this clip a stock Peacemaker. It goes Duncan rhythm - Arcane rhythm - Duncan lead - Arcane leadĪnd as far as EVH tone goes, guys like you and Ralle are the masters. It goes Duncan 78 - Arcane Brownbucker - Duncan 78 - Arcane Brownbucker Here's a clip I did of my guitar before and after the Arcane Brownbucker was installed. In a mix, the Arcane really stands out and shines whereas the 78 just disappeared. I am not speaking of anyone in particular, just the whole sort of boutique winder mentality.Īnyway, here is a clip I did the day I pulled the Duncan 78 out and put the Arcane in. When you look at the pedigree that Rob at Arcane has in the pickup world, having worked with Tom Holmes, having designed the entire line of pickups for James Tyler guitars, building all the pickups for the James Trussart guitars and all the very high end, well known players he has worked with in the studios in the Los Angeles area, it makes me wonder where these guys winding pickups in obscure corners of the world, with little to know previous experience or interaction with top pros and their vintage guitars come up with their prices. Basically in between what a Duncan and a typical boutique wind would cost. Plus, on the bright side, his prices are better than almost all the other boutique pickup guys. When I played the Brownbucker, it was exactly what I was missing in any of the other EVH sounding pickups I had tried. When I would palm mute, the Duncan '78 was undefined and too squishy and not percussive. ![]() The '78 sounded pretty good in that guitar but because of the Alnico 2 magnet was a little dull and inarticulate sounding. I LOVE the Brownbucker and also really dig the '69 Experience single coils in my strats. I became a dealer that day and have Arcanes in the 4 of my guitars that I actually use. ![]() I called and told him that there was no way that pickup was coming out of that guitar. After he called to check up on it, I threw it in my Charvel and messed with it. He left a Brownbucker for me to try out and I pretty much ignored it on my desk for a few weeks. The sales rep for Arcane came into my shop one day and I told him as much. I had pretty much been around the block and back with about every boutique pickup on the market and had kind of decided that it was a bunch of smoke and mirrors and always came back to a Duncan. I use Arcane pickups and I absolutely love them. I don't know anything about your first link and that has nothing to do with Arcane. ![]()
