... The only reason ...

Emilio M. Rizzi 22.09.2017

Both pickups sound fantastic, really. Note definition in chords is superb and the timbral quality is very pleasant at high distortion, no shrieking. Instead you get a very pleasant and mix-cutting high-end.

The only reason I put 4 instead of 5 stars is because of the pairing of the two pickups.

The Pegasus alone is a fantastic pickup. The Sentient alone is a fantastic pickup. I think that the timbral difference is much too much for them to be a great pair together. They both have their own great sound but switching between them doesn't 'gel' as well as I'd like. The Sentient is much duller and warmer than the Pegasus, although it does sound phenomenal on the clean channel - there is SO MUCH BODY.

I'm still keeping them as they sound infinitely better than my stock pickups, but nevertheless, they sound vastly different when switching between them.

I'm extremely happy with the pickups, and you would be too if you are looking to expand your guitar's timbral pallet. If you are after a neck pickup that delivers incredibly massive clean sounds, and a bridge pickup that will melt your freakin' face off then you should really buy this set. It is really really good and I'm a happy happy guy.

A bit pricey but great sounding

Farky 22.05.2021

I spent a long time looking for a set of pickups that could offer a wide range of sounds for all the different styles I play and in the end I went for these and I think I made the right decision.

They sound great even when you're strumming chords with high distortion and the clarity of clear sounds is something else. I play a lot of styles from indie, where the neck pick up does an amazing job, especially with split coils and the bridge pick up is really good for heavier stuff. At least from what I've discovered so far.

It's a bit unusual combination of pick ups in my opinion but if you're also someone who doesn't stick to one style of music and likes to experiment with many different sounds then I think they won't disappoint you.

They are a bit expensive but I definitely don't regret buying them.

I swapped my EMG81 & 89 (85/60 on split) for these, and I couldn?t have been happier with the swap. A lot more organic and fuller sound, without compromising attack or sustain. My guitar is a Jackson Dinky with a Floyd Rose bridge. I usually tune to Drop A or B standard, and they give great string definition on low tunings, whereas the EMG?s were a bit flat and "boring". The Pegasus pickup makes distorted chords a lot more fun, because you can hear the separation of the strings a lot better, and the sentient pickup is very rich on harmonics, that really makes a huge difference when doing lead work compared to the EMG89.

Side note: I put the EMG?s in my Drop D-tuned guitar, with a tune-o-matic style bridge. They sounded a whole lot better here. So I?m considering switching my Seymour Duncan Blackout 7?s for Pegasus/Sentient 7?s as well on my 7-string, as apparently to my ears, do a better job on low tunings.

Very good yes!

PineappleMeow 20.11.2022

I replaced my stock pickups in the Shecter C6 pro. I noticed that these (Pegasus/Sentient) are clearer. Pinch harmonics pop very good, a lot better than the stock pickups. I love how these pickups sound from everything from cleans to soaring chug chug. A cool thing is that if you play your high gain tone with the neck pickup or both neck/bridge then you get a warmer fizzy type of thing, very cool indeed.

I will say that if you're looking for extreme super ultra soaring metal, you might want to look for something hotter. But if you want something flexible that can do everything from cleans to death metal, these ones are very good. I am very happy with these.
