The Pickup Place / Re: Pegasus vs Perputual Burn vs Illuminator

« on: September 07, 2015, 08:59:03 PM »

Illuminator installed. Same guitar I have used to test a D Activator and a Titan.

Compared to the Becker model, the first impression of the Illuminator is that it's more articulate with a little more grind and more focused highs. Since I just had the Titan in there most recently, it made me think of a more polite Titan. It cleans up nice. It has a fairly tight low end, but not too tight...not much sag, if any. Mids seem a little more focused to the upper end.

Hope that helps.

If it sounds good, it is good.

Not a cop out, but sound is quite relative to the listener. If it gives you the tone you want, then you are good. Won't know until you hook it up....it's just a few minutes to find out.

Sometimes it comes down to piecing together parts of different schematics.

Are you asking about being able to have the neck and bridge active at the same time?  Which should be possible.

Or being able to use a single p/p to have both those pickups series/parallel?  Which I've never seen or heard of a way to do this.

Or something else?

I only have an Illuminator bridge bright now. As there is only a Becker model in the bridge, that's also be a best apples to apples comparison.  In fact, I think the same guitar is available to use for the Illuminator...I'll have to double check.

The Becker model seemed to have highs that were a bit more rounded than what I was expecting. Mids were a bit even.  I was expecting to like it, but it just seemed to fall a little bland and flat sounding, lacking the character I was hoping it would have. But there are dudes that dig it. If it were to take the Pepsi challenge with other pickups from that genre, I'm not sure it would be at the top of the list.

The Becker model came off as a little flat to me.

I have an Illuminator in line to be installed, so I hope to know more about that one soon.

I've been wanting to get one to match up with the FRED and the Mo Joe and compare to the PAF Joe. Not seeing any show up on eBay....and I might need to go with one without the flange (special order). So I'd also like to know more before dropping the cabbage.

I'd go with the Illuminator set or the Transition set. I personally like the Transition set a bit more than the Illuminator myself but I'm not looking for a super aggressive tone these days and it suits my needs well.

I just got an Illuminator bridge last week. Have yet to install it. What do you consider some of the biggest similarities and differences between the Illuminator and the Transition?

From the list of ones you are considering.....

Mo' Joe bridge.

Neck models can be really tricky and a whole different animal, based on the player preference.





I'd also submit the 36th Anniversary

I'm thinking of going with a Pro Track for the middle and a Satch Track for the neck.
