Playing Fluence for the first time
There are several things you should notice as you spend time
with Fluence. There is a sense of immediacy in response to your
playing, unlike traditional pickups which have the feeling of a
slower response time by comparison. Listen for the fundamen-
tal in relationship to the overtones, and individual notes within
chords to come through more clearly.
The volume controls behave in a more usable manner.
Reducing your volume control doesn’t degrade the tone of the
pickups. You may be more inclined to allow higher signal and
headroom at the amp or pedals and control the gain structure
with your volume knob.
Fluence pickups are very low noise, even in single coil mode.
