Fishman Fluence Killswitch Engage Active Humbucker Pickup Set - Black | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Fishman Fluence Killswitch Engage Signature Active Humbucker Pickup Set delivers the crushing, precision-tuned tone that has defined modern metalcore for over two decades. This 2-piece active pickup system features the exact specifications used by guitarists Adam Dutkiewicz and Joel Stroetzel, offering three switchable voicings per pickup for unparalleled sonic versatility. Perfect for intermediate to professional metal players who demand aggressive output, tight low-end response, and the dynamic range to transition seamlessly between devastating rhythm work and soaring lead tones.
Product Overview
The Killswitch Engage signature pickup set combines aggressive Ceramic VIII magnets in the bridge position with classically voiced Alnico V magnets at the neck for maximum tonal versatility. The bridge pickup delivers exceptional punch and output with tight bass response, aggressive midrange presence, and screaming harmonic overtones that cut through dense band mixes. The neck pickup provides rich, warm sustain with dynamic depth suitable for melodic lead work and clean passages while maintaining clarity under high-gain conditions.
This pickup set includes all components required to achieve Adam and Joel's exact wiring scheme, minus only the pickup selector switch. The solderless installation system features 5-wire plus ground and battery connections, making professional-grade pickup upgrades accessible without extensive soldering experience. Detailed wiring diagrams ensure accurate replication of the KSE guitar setup used on countless albums and worldwide tours.
Active Fluence circuitry eliminates the noise and inductance issues that compromise traditional passive pickups, delivering crystal-clear tone at all volume levels even during extreme high-gain applications. The low 2K DC resistance ensures extended battery life while maintaining responsive touch dynamics that react naturally to picking attack and playing technique variations.
