Joel Stroetzel Interview on Fishman Fluence Pickups

Fishman

collapse expand iconDescription

Fishman has been at the forefront of acoustic transducer development and improvement for a long time. With the Fluence Series, they have brought that spirit of innovation to their latest line of electric guitar pickups. The electric guitar pickup has been wound since 1934, but Fishman decided to explore unwound pickups and has perfected them in this innovative pickup line.

Fluence pickups are free from the hum, noise and frustrating inductance issues that plague even the most coveted wire-wound pickups—revealing pure, uncorrupted and musical tone. This is the Killswitch Engage Signature Set, which packs tremendous versatility into a single set of pickups.

Voice 1 begins with Fishman’s Modern recipe, but Joel and Adam prefer a tighter bass for more note definition and screaming midrange and harmonics. In the bridge, Voice 2 contains a unique vintage/medium output hybrid passive tone, equally great for cleans, crunch, and searing leads, while the neck produces a crystal clean, fluid voice. In addition, there are unique single coil voices for each pickup, to nail the perfect modern active “hot” coil split, and vintage passive true single coil tones.
