P.A.F Astound ..... bouncy cleans & dirty GROWL with 3D sound / 8.7k
This demo starts at the end where Dave wraps up his conclusions so go back
P.A.F Astound v2 with optional ESSCThe P.A.F Astound v2 is a high energy version of the P.A.F Plus with an overdose of drive and dirty but defined growl for the bridge position. Awesome dynamic range and exceptional touch sensitivity adds a 3rd dimension to the sound that effortlessly cuts through the band. Better dynamic response and is very responsive to pinch harmonics and hammer-ons which makes it a must for shredders as well as rock and heavy rock -and- metal. It growls under gain on the wound strings and sings sweetly on the plain strings with an intense harmonic bloom which is as smooth as silk .... with a bitey edge that's not razor sharp and offensive. We set out to make every Kinman deliver the maximum amount of expression dynamics to our customers. Our high energy model, the P.A.F Astound v2 delivers significantly higher output and extra drive using a highly efficient Patented magnetic circuit that collects wasted magnetism and directs it to the strings and coils where it is used to generate additional output and dynamics. Thus you get louder volume and increased dynamics at the same time which is the opposite of normal high output pickups which choke themselves on excess coil capacitance that comes with over-wound coils. Recommend solely for the bridge position paired with a P.A.F Plus v2 or 59+ LPS in the neck.
v2 Upgrade 1-Apr-2020. We recently revisited our bridge humbuckers and wondered if there was a way to make them a little bit louder and soften the razor sharp trebles. We accomplished both and the result is the v2 variant. However there is an additional benefit, the E-6th string took on a springy and more lively bouncy sound. You can actually feel the bounce under your finger tips. It will inspire your creative side by making you want to play in different ways that will surprise and delight you. Read the full story in our Blog article. Optional ESSC upgrade 4-May-2021 Now can be ordered with optional ESSC - Enhanced Split Single Coil where the split single coil is loud and convincingly Fender-like as a single coil should be, instead of the weak facsimile of a split regular humbucker. Requires a double pole double throw switch that we can supply as a Push/Push pot or a mini-toggle switch with an up-charge. Click the options in the order channel. Our Humbuckers cancel hum better than any other humbucker but there is another type of noise called 'buzz which can only be minimized by shielding the wiring cavities (refer to >Technical >Perfect Guitar >Shielding for newer guitars) Patent number 8,791,351 and Patent Applied for
Number of parts in this pickup: 29 Technical & Application info:
Direct replacement for conventional humbuckers such as Gibson, Duncan etc. Some guitars (a few Ibanez, some Fender Strat and one or two others) have pickups with excessively rounded corners. If a pickguard is fitted (for example Fender Strat Deluxe) a small modification to the pickguard opening to accommodate a Kinman humbucker is well worth the effort since Kinman's sound so much better. The cavity in the body is suitable as it is. NEWS Flash 15-Dec-2020 - Now available with 47.5mm pole spread that suits the neck position prefectly on Gibson's and and other guitars that have a narrow 52mm spaced bridge. This has been made possible with our CLCT (Coil Length Compensation Technology) that restores the performance that is lost when poles are spaced closer together. Hook-up cable
