The 3rd voice is JUST what these needed. Love the red on red. Maybe some McRocklin signatures in red (or another color)?
💯 that new 3rd voice is fantastic. The shape is super cool, could be lovely in purple. We’ll see haha.
geezis the tone of those pickups are amazing!
Killer chops as always! The tones were really unique in a good way!
Cheers!!
lets go!!! those pickups look so good in that guitar. keep up the good work man!!
Appreciate it man, thank you!!
There is only one mcrocklin what a guy what a player
Great sounding pickups and they look awesome too! Nice demo
Thanks Trolly baby xx
Thanks for making this video, Thomas! I’m getting ready to build another Kiesel, and was wondering about these. Well done, my friend! 🤟
Oooof awesome! What model are you thinking about?
I have a Vader, a DC6, an HK, and 2 Aries neck thrus. I'm thinking change it up and do a CS6. Whatcha think?
perfect sound and cool playing always 👍
I just hope u don’t leave kiesel when ur contract is up. Kiesel is the best. Now, those pick ups look and sound 🔥🔥🔥
Didn't Kiesel, like, rip everyone off..?
Love the DC! Totally changed with the new pickups. Mine did too when I had the McRocklins added. Killer setup!!! ❤
Thanks Pat! Yeah it’s wild how the vibe of this guitar and my feelings towards it have changed now, that’s so cool. New found love 🤓
Awesome demo and amazing playing 🤘 I’m definitely putting this these in my Jackson 🔥 The single coils sound amazing 🤩 Cheers 🍻
🤟🏻🙌🏻
Looks like you've really dug into the guitar, looking great! Imma get some of those x.X
I think these pickups have transformed this guitar. I love these new moderns, and wasn’t expecting to like them so much haha.
@@McRocklin that's awesome, i love the combo, excellent job.
Loving the hot rails aesthetic! Is it me or does the McR Suite keep sounding better and better?
I think the recent gain tones are getting insanely good, as I’ve found more creative ways of using all of the different drive pedals.
Fun stuff, thanks PS!!
Better and better
That guitar is sick man! Love it!
Thanks dude!!
@McRocklin I'm gonna have to order me a Keisel now! Got on their site and they are just beautiful!
Mate, you're awesome.
You've gotten a new suber.
Kiesel is very lucky to have a rad artist like Thomas
Dig those end clean sound improvisations. Great spacious sounds and feel.
Glad you like them!
I`m using the Fluence open core classic humbuckers. This is another level. Change for the better is always good.
I want that whole guitar!
I’ll squeeze it through your letterbox later 🤓🤪
THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Mike! Thank you!! :)
Definitely one of my favourite guitar walls on the internet! :)
Your wall back there looks better than any guitar store display I've ever seen!
Haha thanks!!!
THOSE SOUND AMAZING
Thank you! : )
Came for the pickup - want v1.5 polychrome 😁
Haha 1.2 is still amazing in the meantime, 1.5 will be a free update 👍🏻
⭐fantastic⭐PICKUPS⭐FISHMAN⭐
NICE!
Yeah Buddy!
They sound great! Have you tried the Kiesel Polarity pickups? They also sound great and have multiple voices :)
Yep, this guitar actually came with them. (They're decent) Then I changed to the Classics and now the Modern V2.
Which configurations did you wire up exactly for position 2 and 4? Are these split inner and outer coils? It sounds great.
I need these
I just hope that they release a single coil "hot rails" model. My Ibanez HS cant wait for it!!!
Hey Thomas-I’m about to order my first Kiesel but can’t decide between an Aries or DC (both with bevels). I like the classic look of the DC, but do you find a difference in playability between the two? Is the Aries significantly lighter/more comfortable?
Hey, I’d go A2 personally. It’s their latest model and is amazing. But it also depends if you want a neck through or a bolt on. I personally prefer bolt on so the Aries, especially the A2 wins for me.
yeah baby!
Haha I want that emoji 🤣
Great versatility and string definition clean or distorted.
Cool, glad you approve! 🤟🏻
Well hell, I just bought the older moderns and now I’m going to have to buy these! 😂
🥴🥴🥴
How do you find these compare to open core Classics or your version? I prefer alnico and medium output. But these sound great.
I’m assuming you are using ceramic bridge and alnico neck?
I guess mine have a little more of a pronounced split tone, which works great for sparkly and aggressive single-coil like tones.
The full info can by found here: www.fishman.com/portfolio/fluence-custom-series-thomas-mcrocklin-6-string-pickup-set/
Cheers!
Man when is THAT update coming out? Love the look!
We’re aiming for end of the month 👍🏻
@@McRocklin EXCELLENT! Can't wait!
The "bridge spilit" sound sounds more like both inner coils and the "neck split" sound sounds more like both outer coils.
And back in the day you could split the existing voicings of the Modern by adding wires to the pickup, that's how Strandberg for example did it.
Regardless, these sound sick!
Cheers!
Has that full oomph to it, even with the clean spanky tones. That's really cool!!
Yeah definitely. Cheers Cozzzzz!!
Pretty cool 😎
🤘🏻 🌟 🤘
🤟🏻
What's the difference of single coil mode between this new one and with the previous modern one? I believe there's a pad (CT and H) on the bottom side of the previous modern to toggle single coil mode (either South or North coil, depends on the way we wire those pad)
I’m not sure what the technical details are, but these have a much more pronounced sparkly and brightness quality to them (on voice 3) which works really well for my taste, and that modern progressive type of playing.
Great playing as usual. Guitar is gorgeous, but, probably you tube compression , the voices 1 and 2 sounded identical with high gain. Cleans sound superb though.
Killer guitar Man
Cheers! 🤟🏻💜
So I bought the mcrocklin suite when it first came out and it didn't even have a tuner on it yet LOL but then there was an update and I got the tuner like a month later and I've never done anything again. So is there another update???
1.2 (‘Sonic Empire’) is the current release, and that is a big upgrade from the first release. Definitely update to that version if you’ve already!
We’re currently working on our biggest update by far, it’s v1.5 ‘Ground Control’ it’s not quite out yet, it’ll be a free update for anyone that owns/purchases the plugin. So peeps can take advantage of the current special offer get tones of killer tones, and a free update to 1.5 upon launch. Hope that helps mate 👍🏻
@McRocklin Sure does. Thanks for all of your content and hard work on this plugin.
You've come quite a long way, from a few years ago when you got on CZcams.
Seems it was the right move for you!
As we say in the Mountain bike world, keep sending it!
The guitar rack looks so much better how the guitars are displayed and so colourful
Thanks Jamie!
It’s never ending lol.
Are these the ceramic or alnico variety? Or were they mixed or matched? Heavily considering this option, these things sound great.
Ooooh you know, I’m not actually sure!
@@McRocklin I appreciate the reply. Leaning towards the ceramics, we'll see what I end up with
This is the exact tone I'm trying to achieve, but I'm struggling to find a 5 way switch wiring diagram for this setup, as fishman only have a diagram for a three way blade. Is there any chance you might have a wiring diagram available?
You can use the wiring for the Tosin set, it’s the same pretty much.
What is the thing on the guitar by the lower strap lock?
It’s a mount for the Fishman TriplePlay 👍🏻 (midi system) it’s not in use here.
Damn, what is that awesome guitar finish on your kiesel? 😮💨
It's flamed taped satin finish, red
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
🙌🏻
@@McRocklin 💯
tbh im looking at fishmans for a custom hello kitty strat im thinking of making 💀
i do have those pickups you can clearly hear the difference of the two voices on the clean channel, when it comes to distortion its tough to hear and clarify the different voices tho so i would say get those if you want some nice and clean sounds, bceause at the end of the day when distortion takes place everything is irrelevant
Hmmm it’s definitely more subtle for sure, but I enjoy the way they push certain frequencies etc. it’s cool, but the fact that they’re so good at keeping the noise down in recording and live situations is great.
Voice 2 sounds a lot thicker and bassier i love it
Did you go with 1 alnico 1 ceramic or 2 of both? Thanks.
You know, that's a really good question - I have to check with Fishman!
Does the modern voice1 on this pickup sound different than the the voice one on the original fluence modern?
Hmmm I believe it is, with an additional voice 3 mate.
I think on clean the wound pickups still sound so much better
I like these but also because they’re so low noise. Like when you’re on stage or recording etc, the Fluence stuff is fantastic.
It is a nice looking guitar tho
Is the guitar available to buy?
You can spec on out absolutely, it’s a kiesel DC600 👍🏻 have a play with the kiesel builder to see what options etc work for you.
⚰ Rocktober 🧡
Haha indeed!
🤘💪⚡️
🤟🏻
Killer.
Can anyone tell me if the third voice(single coil) is noiseless or not? Very mich appreciated.
Btw nice looking guitar and killer tone/playing🙂
Fishman are pretty much always noiseless due to the way that they work. 👍🏻
I am just wondering, because I heard that the Matt Heavy do have 60cycle hum in the single coil mode. So is it not a typical "coil split" as on regular humbuckers, rather than a voicing(which eliminates the hum)? I can’t find any information on the web.
👍
They need to come out with a bright green, yellow and a blue variant and
Do things pickups have hum issues when the tap is pulled?
Nowhere near that of passive.
Will 1.5 be a free update for current suite owners?
Yes, all updates are free
Yep. Free updates if you own/purchase the plugin 👍🏻👍🏻
Can anyone tell me if they have experience how these sound compared to Fishman Moderns. I had those in 2 guitar and also bmfound they where missing something. Ive been debating sd nazgul or black winter or pegasus, also considered bkp after and juggernauts and lastly the fishman open core classic. I know thats alot but i want something i can play tight modern metal and prog metal but always has dynamics to clean and do blues and classic rock. Can anyone give me an idea ive have the fishman moderns and the nazgul. And i have a 55/66 tw and i dont like them. Anyhelp is greatly appreciated sorry for the long message
I believe the main voicings are the same, the new version has the additional splits.
no link for fishman?
Third link in the video yeah: bit.ly/3F0q1sP 👍🏻
I’m looking for pickups for my Aries, I hate the Lithium’s. I think you sold me on these..
Good luck! And enjoy
I absolutely hate the lithiums as well. Have you made the switch yet? I’m looking into these now too.
sounds great!!!! waiting for your new 1.5 --- still hoping for Yngwie tone😇😇😇
I’ll have a dedicated session dialing them in hopefully!!
You think theres the possibility for an Eric Johnson style tone as well?😋@@McRocklin
Of polychrome was available for quad cortex or kemper i would buy everything
We only have one plugin, so far. Do you mostly play on stage or at home/studio?
I have QC, AxeFx, Kemper and only use this single plugin for everything.
@@McRocklin I play live but studio alot as well . Was thinking about doing the ole profiling way but it want be the same
@@McRocklin could do the tablet and interface thing with a midi pedal but don't know how it will reference just yet
We use floor midi controllers such as Blackstar live logic, Morningstar M8 series. They all work well, especially as the upcoming update also includes native midi and other new features.
Sounds amazing - red style makes that guitar look even better too! 🔥Can I have/win the guitar?! 🤣
Haha but I like it now, I kinda wanna keep it!! 🤪
@@McRocklin nah, you have so many - you won't miss this one!
Tasteful shred
I try 🤓
How do you get your tone
One single plugin: www.polychromedsp.com
@@McRocklin dang 100 bucks
Yep, pretty crazy right!! for the price you get:
Four amps, 21 speaker chains, four drive pedals, an insane compressor, synth octaver, two EQ’s, three worldclass delay and reverb types, a stereo chorus, a mid/side processor, a gate, tuner, mastering limiter. 450+ presets to get you started. And a massive update coming soon 🤟🏻 oh you also get $85 worth of content too currently!! 🤣 mental.
@@McRocklin do i need a DAW for it? Be cause i dont like working with daws
It’s standalone and daw mate 👍🏻
I'm either absolutely deaf or witnessing another example of the emperor's new cloths. The difference between voice 1 and voice 2 coming out of my studio monitors is minute, not at all a "big difference". Slightly more boomy in voice 2 maybe but really I don't know if I'm listening with my eyes or ears there. When I owned a guitar with Fishman's it had the same experience: the difference between voice 1 and 2 was not worth the trouble of pulling out the pot. I couldn't tell them apart blind folded. Maybe in the room it felt different, though my past experience suggests otherwise?.
Hey, I guess what you’re not feeling is the slight difference in feel/output. On a clean DI track you can really clearly hear the difference between voice 1 and 2. Have you tried a set of Fishman Fluence before?
@@McRocklinI used to own an Epiphone Prophecy Extura with the Fishman set that came with that guitar and a Chapman with aftermarket Fishman's (either classic or modern, can't remember). It's quite possible that the DI showcases it much clearer. The tones you used at the start are similar to the tones I would use, maybe the high gain compression covers it up.
Pickups are a tricky thing altogether, with subtlety (mostly has to do with how it hits the preamp). I'm listening on half decent ear buds, and the difference I heard is voice one is a super modern active thing (super clear, very plain highs, super tight metal-esque lows), and voice 2 seems to have a more traditional, more passive-esque sound to me (slightly more sparkly highs and more pronounced mids). The big difference is in the mids to me, but ultimately, differences in pickups are very, very subtle, especially within one specific type (humbucker vs single coil, etc). Especially, when you're boosting with a tube screamer into the front of an Amp, they all virtually sound the same.
I'm not sure these blew me away. I think the McRocklin set is better to my ears.
Not gonna complain at that haha. Overall sure, my set are tuned to exactly what works for me, but these are such a big improvement over the original modern series. I really like them.
You want that sparkly ig reel Tim Henson tone just get a Strat..
First!
🤟🏻🤟🏻🤟🏻
"Is it more than just heavy tones!?"
Probably. I play heavy music through my Cutlass which has 3 single coils. I'm sure all the naysayers will start to scream otherwise, but they're wrong. Your plug-ins and AR Sim cabs are what's contributing the most to your "brootz toens"
😯 Headstock???? Wait.....
lol yesss
