Titan in Bridge of Les Paul?

(1/1)

aizenx:
Anyone try a Titan in the bridge of a Les Paul? Thoughts? How is the low end, high end, overly dark, bright, etc?

Aceman:
what is this Titan supposed to do exactly?  I am not hip to the latest cool DMZ pups.  But I do dig a righteous Les Paul.  speaking of which, exactly what sort of Les Paul are we talking about?  Year, neck size, etc...

Well, it's marketed as a high output pick up with a tight low end. The guitar it would go in is actually more of a LP style. It's a Warmoth Regal body (mahogany/maple top) with a Rosewood neck and Ebony fretboard.

What I want out of a bridge pickup, is a tight low end with a sweet/warm high end for leads. One thing I have noticed a lot with modern pickups, is that it's often hard to find those mutual attributes. It's either tight in the low end and shrill in the high end OR it's warm/smooth in the high end and flabby in the bass.

The Titan will get you where you want EQ-wise because it's all mids - there's not a whole lot of bass to get flabby and not a whole lot of treble to get harsh. The caveat to this is that it's also a super 'dry' feeling pickup (not a lot of compression, you need to be picking hard all the time if you want output and aggression) and it's very modern-voiced which I know some people aren't into. The neck version is similar, but a bit brighter and with a bit more compression. IMO it actually really shines in parallel mode (position 4 on the JB Ibanez) for cleans and leads.

It's a decently dark set overall, but still very present and cutting due to the mid focus, and it'll definitely push an amp pretty well. I've played it in a parts Tele and in the JB Ibanez (the latter of which is pretty LP-like - mahogany body, chunky maple top, maple-mahogany neck, and ebony board).

Good stuff. Thanks for the replies, guys. :)
