5/7/2023 0 Comments Lace sensor red silver blue![]() R/S/B Lace Sensors -> green russian Big Muff -> Marshall half stack, and sure enough, use the same gear, get the same tones. I played the entirety of Siamese Dream with my jam buddy earlier, just to see how they faired. I didn't buy these for a long time because I already bought the Gold and Hot Gold in years past and I didn't really care for them, but I like these a lot better already. Using them for cleans might even require an EQ pedal, if the amp can't supply enough treble by itself. I just roll the tone back a bit to get the 250k sound because sometimes is fun to get that high Q factor, even if it sounds kind of nasty in the clean settings. I installed these with 500k tone pots, but it's recommended they be used with 250k, just so that when you have the knobs at "10", you get a smooth roll off at the 2 to 3kHz resonant peak, and no +5dB amplitude bump due to the higher Q factor, that make them sound somewhat shrill. ![]() They all sound pretty good to me, but I have to run the treble and presence higher on my rig for the cleans, similar to what I would with humbuckers. The Blue neck pickup is supposed to make you think "P.A.F.", although it has a lower inductance and a higher resonant peak than a Little '59, to which the Red Sensor is closer. Lace claims it's based on a hot 70's single coil, but I'm not sure what that might be in reference to. The Silver neck pickup as an inductance of 3.6H, and it's similar to a Tele bridge pickup. With a loaded resonant peak of only 1.8kHz, it discards a lot of high end. It doesn't sound as dark as a JB, to me, but that might have more to do with the bridge pickup placement in a Strat, than the electrical values. The Red is meant to mimic a hot humbucker, it has an inductance similar to a JB. ![]() The Red bridge / Silver middle / Blue neck set is a combo that's said to sound good by many people in internet postings, and Billy Corgan has this set in several of his main guitars during the 90's, though in the 00's he had a deal with DiMarzio, and most recently has a sig model with Reverend that uses their own humbuckers. ![]()
