Description
Overview
The Lace Sensor Red Pickup is the highest-output option in the renowned Sensor Series, specifically engineered for guitarists who require a powerful, rocking tone without sacrificing clarity. Designed to deliver a fat, punchy humbucker-style sound while maintaining a single-coil footprint, the Red Sensor is the ideal choice for the bridge position of your instrument.
Unlike traditional pickups, the Lace Sensor utilizes a revolutionary design that replaces standard bobbins with patented Micro Combs and employs a unique Radiant Field Barrier system. This technology significantly reduces 60-cycle hum and expands the tonal range, providing a professional-grade signal-to-noise ratio and a more complex harmonic response.
Key Details
- High-Output Performance: The hottest pickup in the Sensor line, delivering the punch and girth typically associated with humbuckers.
- Advanced Sensing Technology: Generates 36 separate magnetic sensing fields—compared to the 4 to 12 found in standard pickups—to read string vibrations more accurately.
- Radiant Field Barrier: Integrated metal slides frame the inner core to shield the pickup from outside interference and 60-cycle hum.
- Enhanced Harmonic Content: Reads a greater physical area of the string, resulting in a richer, more detailed tonal response.
- Optimized String Balance: The Micro Comb architecture ensures consistent output across all strings for a balanced mix.
Use Cases
- Bridge Position Power: Perfect for the bridge slot when you need a thick, aggressive sound for rock, metal, or high-gain genres.
- Humbucker Tone in Single-Coil Slots: Ideal for players who want the “fat” sound of a humbucker without the need to route their guitar body for a larger pickup.
- Studio Recording: The superior signal-to-noise ratio makes these pickups excellent for high-gain recording where 60-cycle hum is a common problem.
Installation
The Lace Sensor Red is designed as a drop-in replacement for standard single-coil sized pickups. Installation involves removing the existing pickup and soldering the Lace Sensor leads to your existing pot and switch configuration. Because of its high-output nature, it is recommended to check your volume pot values to ensure the desired tonal balance is maintained.
Compatibility
- Pickup Slot: Fits standard single-coil sized routing.
- Position: Optimized for the bridge position, though compatible with any single-coil slot.
- Hardware: Compatible with standard electric guitar wiring schemes.
