Fishman Fluence Signature Series Devin Townsend 6-String Pickup Set, Black Nickel

Devin Townsend's music covers a lot of ground, both subtle and dynamic. It’s about the interaction between two very distinct styles. It can be both very heavy and very gentle. To create a pickup set that can legitimately straddle these diverse worlds, Townsend worked closely with Fishman R&D to build in very specific attributes that sonically react like two entirely different instruments for this Fluence Signature Series Devin Townsend 6-string pickup set.Townsend describes himself as "a human being who’s trying to make a better version of himself, with the by-product of that process being music. Music that seems to come out in as many different emotional ways as life presents. Music that has always had as its aim the ability to transcend.Transcendence is the thematic inspiration for my signature pickups. The goal was to merge two opposite ends of the sonic spectrum into one product and I’m proud to say we have strongly achieved that."What get with these pickups:Voice 1 - "My heavy metal voice." Pole pieces for more "sonic havoc" when compared to blade magnetsVoice 2 - "A low-gain, single coil, passive, sweet-sounding tone which I prefer in the single coil mode" that hits amps and compressors "just so," creating a both-pickups-on clean tone and overall volume drop that enhances the effect of switching from dirty to clean soundsThese pickups are Multi-Voice and can be installed set and forget or wired-up to toggle between two musically complimentary voices. Drop them right in and replace standard humbucker pickups. Also, the Signature Series Devin Townsend are rechargeable without needing to remove them from guitar. An optional lithium-ion battery pack (sold separately) offers weeks, not hours, of playing time.Fishman Fluence PickupsThe electric guitar pickup has been wound since 1934. 80 years later, we’ve unwound it.
