Something disappointing in this demo is that I’d love to hear a high gain isolated tone of 2 coils vs 3 just to compare - saying “it’s a lot” but not showing it seems a missed opportunity
Fluff is notoriously bad at giving demos. He never uses a clean tone, for example. Even in this video, his "clean" tone is clipping like crazy in my headphones. Always some crappy, muddy low gain "clean" that never translates to real-world situations since literally nobody is using the same gear the same way, or its just recorded badly. His gear demos are just bland, repetitive commercials. Every video looks the same, and the demoing content is medicore. That's why I watch fewer and fewer of his videos as time goes on. Same old shit every time, and it's rarely done well.
Sounds near like every single damn one of his other reviews. I love his content, but I’m over this everyone sounds the same bullshit trend in metal. Maybe I’m old haha, I’m probably old. But call me crazy, I like guitars to sound like guitars.
@@-cobainism- the original intent of the post was intended to be reasonable constructive criticism - the unique feature of the guitar isn’t really demoed - even in the mix it’s not made clear whether he’s using two or three coils
it's only fitting that the blacked-out metal guitar with triple humbucker made for high-gain riffing gets the cleanest clean tone that Fluff has ever played. lol
Wait did I miss something here ? No demo of the tri-bucker in High gain, on a guitar designed for high gain ? The only high gain sound was the tri-bucker in standard humbucker mode and in a mix. No isolated high gain demo, especially the difference between position 1 and 2 in high gain applications? Does it become too muddy in tribucker mode ? That being said the tri-bucker sounded not too bad on a clean setting. I'm feeling that this demo is missing something 🤔
That triple coil clean tone is amazing. From the several demos I'm interested in this guitar for clean ambient ideas over metal. Now I'm bummed it's only comes in black.
I wish that we were getting more from your videos. I know you’ve been doing this a long time and it probably hard to have that inspiration to go all out on every video but as someone who’s been watching basically from the beginning I can say that I wish we were getting more
Let's demo a guitar with a triplebucker on CLEAN channel...because that's exactly what people interested in such guitar wanna hear and especially your channel audience (99% of them being chugging riffs addicts)
I really really wanted to hear the 3 coils with high gain because on paper this solves a problem I have with high gain low tunings: You want bright pickups for attack and definition, but then you lose a lot of the low end/low mids where you hear the actual note more. In theory with a triple coil you could have it bright and close to the bridge for attack, but since you have another coil further up it would help keep it from losing all the mids and low end. We didn't get to hear that... 😢 It does have nice single coil tones though on the clean imo.
Hey fluff I've figured out how these work. You have one full strength coil and two half powered coils. In pos 1 you have a full strength coil and a half strength coil so it is unbalanced, has a bit of single coil chime and isnt fully humbucking but in pos 2 you add another half strength coil in paralell with the other half strength coil, so now you have a balanced fully humbucking sound. You could do the same thing with a coil tap on a regular humbucker, the only difference is the 3 coils pickup a wider string area.
He did that for a reason. To be able to test the low end . With clean, you can tell more easily the low end character of the pickup and can gauge how tight it will sound with a high gain tone. Experienced guitar players will know this…
Nice T-Shirt !!! Greatings from France ! Those who know will understand 🙃 Looks like a hot rod HSS to me with kind of tonal difference on N+M setting. with the 3 coils in series I hardly ear a difference, maybe the "standard" humbucker mode is already waaaaay too hot😅
That pickup running all three coils would sound awesome with lower tunings. Yeah you can't find another one or would have to make one, but the combinations you can do with some custom wiring. 3 Different single coil positions, 3 combinations of 2 coil humbuckers, 3 combinations of 2 coils humbucker with one coil parallel, any of those in combination with the neck pickup in parallel and serial for a total of 36 combinations or something like that. Or more. I left out parallel configurations for super chimey cleans. The native switching doesn't even start to cover the tone possibilities.
Yeah that's one thing I thought of when I saw Schecter announce this guitar...all the cool pickup combinations there could be. Them putting just a 5-way switch does only scratch the surface and even an HH guitar with 3-way switch and push-pull technically offers more combinations (6 instead of 5). I can understand why they did that though...seems like they picked the 5 most useful configurations to make quickly accessible, and at least every position on the 5-way will sound unique. Any owners would then be able to mod it to get a variety of other combinations. Would be interesting to see how the triple coil pickup is wired, whether it actually looks like a humbucker wired to a single coil or whether it really all is made as one unit with the wiring integrated and then (6 I think?) leads coming from it. Personally I think it could be an interesting alternative to an HSS setup. I got my first 24 fret HSS recently; an Ibanez AZ. Didn't know how that narrows the space you have for picking without hitting one of the pickups. It's not a dealbreaker, I just need to practice to be more accurate with my picking but for more fast & aggressive metal playing having a bit more breathing room would be nice. This triple coil/single coil setup could give similar tones to an HSS but with greater space...especially if that 3rd coil of the triple is a true single coil that is accessed on its own in position 3...that then gives you a middle pickup alike sound. Position 4 seems to be already wired just like a Strat, in parallel. Having a series option for one of the triple coils and the neck together could simulate a neck humbucker sound...doing series with 2 single coils is one of the options on my AZ, and I find it's handy to get that smooth, liquidy sound that is desirable from neck humbuckers. But the Schecter Sunset Triad can offer even more tonal variation depending on which one of the triple coils is used...so yeah, definitely a load of potential.
@@dreammachine86 One of my guitars is a 70s Strat with a single coil sized dual rail humbucker in the neck and a 70s DiMarzio Superhumbucker in the bridge (no middle). With no single coil switching and just humbucker or parallel on each pickup, plus serial (humbucker of humbuckers) and out of phase...I have 13 combinations of very different tones both clean and high gain. Humbucker of humbuckers is awesome sounding, BTW,
I don't understand who they're trying to appeal to with a fixed bridge and single coils. As a shredder I need a Floyd rose... as a chugger I need humbuckers. Either way, I swapped the Apocalypse pickup out of my schecter that came stock, the cleans sounded like cardboard
The third - fifth positions sound surprisingly amazing. I don’t think this will stay a staple in their lineup. Probably a temporary hype if it can even be called a hype. Good demo. Weird guitar lol. Once these hit the used market it’s probably worth the price. For 900 you can probably get a lot of guitars that are just as good and obviously more mod friendly
I was wondering about that if one pickup has noise then a humbucker cancels it then a triple has noise again? If that's true I wonder if you could rewire it so all the pickups are on at the same time and it would cancel the noise again
Great demo if you like cleans. Fluff did not like this guitar and got paid to give a crappy review. Sorry Fluff but this one was lack luster. Still love your channel.
Blimey, this is a terrible video to demonstrate this guitar. We can all read the specs of the website. We wanted to hear what the triple sounds like with high gain and distortion and got 10 seconds in a produced mix!!! Instead some isolated clean tones, which let’s face it, nobody is buying this guitar for. Poor effort.

Holy shit thats my exact guitar tone. But SOOO MUCH MORE POWER!
I had an Alvarez back in the mid 90's that had the triple pickup. Sounded pretty good.

They do
@@aaronpoole9847 Awesome
What do they sound like with High Gain ?
@@riffsnreviews idk homie I'm not the demo guy. Probably exactly how they sound in the video
Andrew Baena played the 7-string version in his unboxing from a couple of days ago
This would be a cool addition to the stable. Could definitely use it for layers or just something different
According to the specs, it also has stainless steel frets.

Anyone think Spinal Tap and Nigal Tuffnal's Music Man with the entire space between the bridge and neck just one giant pickup?
This was a guitar thing that really intrigued me for the first time in a while , probably since evertune became popular actually
What a cool sound!!!
That body shape though!
Dang Brother! You Make Everything Sound So Dope!

That single coil in the neck is overwound af. Of course it has to keep up with the bridge pickup output
Remind me of the.old KMD tri-blade hum buckers.
This sounds like a guitar that would be perfect for all genres of music
No.
There was a guitar maker a few years ago at NAMM with a "quadbucker" in a guitar
What's that supposed to do??? Cancel out a 120 cycle hum?
(sarcasm)
Do fender still make the triple bucker pickup? I have a Marauder with one of those in it and I love it.
Yeeeessssss
in the miid 90s ,alvarez guitar have one guitar with triple humbucker
I need a octacoil pickups
kind of funny that there isn't a position where you can have both pickups on full. I guess they were just going for more unusual options
I got one 😂
Awesome
The OG Ibanez ATK basses had a triple-coil humbucker and they are almost universally loved by everyone who used one.
Damn I still want one I regret selling my old Ibanez Roadstar II RB650 bass at least I own a p bass and I'm trying to get a 5 string stingray bass.
Its insane that you didn't even include an isolated high gain clip with this. Even more low effort than your usual demos
And the high gain section of the video was actually on the 1st position, so tribucker in standard humbucker 2 coil mode
@@riffsnreviews lmao that's hilarious. I didn't notice.
The ole "Tribucker"
I have yet to see a video where anyone does high gain with all three coils and it’s makin me sad🥲
makes me wonder how a triple coil neck pickup sounds….
In theory it would add a little more brightness and loudness I would imagine, the 3rd coil would be closer to the bridge
@@riffsnreviews huh. i was thinking it would be a little muddy since the entirety of the pickup is closer to the middle rather than the bridge…
The fact that the triad doesn't work that much in distortion settings as I thought really bugs me.
Clown
The third coil brings the hum back.
I was wondering about that if one pickup has noise then a humbucker cancels it then a triple has noise again?
If that's true I wonder if you could rewire it so all the pickups are on at the same time and it would cancel the noise again
Great demo if you like cleans. Fluff did not like this guitar and got paid to give a crappy review. Sorry Fluff but this one was lack luster. Still love your channel.
oooh it's like a H-S-H config that doesn't look insane :)
I don’t like the single coil 🤔
More pickup= more toan
Lol where are isolated distortion riffs? Kidding fluffy?
Ohh ignoring the ads, I think that guitar sounds good but… 🤔 can I handle it…
*_Just say you don’t like it. LOL_*

HILARIOUS right?
Here's a comment my guy.
Position 2 is WAY too hot.
Most skipped over part of the video…let’s demo the clean tones. 😂
Such a stupid money spending 😅
It bucks 50% more hum
Who tf cares about the clean tones. Where is the high gain demo?

Not a triple humbucker. That's a tribucker.
