Frequently asked questions
Which pickup works with a Floyd Rose tremolo?
The F-H2A is engineered with Floyd Rose pole spacing (.410" string to string) and integrates seamlessly into floating tremolo systems. The H2A-B uses standard long shaft configuration and is not specifically designed for Floyd Rose compatibility.
What is the key tonal difference between them?
The F-H2A is voiced for high-gain versatility with driven aggression and balanced frequency response across clean to heavy settings. The H2A-B emphasizes warm, articulate mids with vocal presence and organic vintage character better suited to moderate-output applications.
Do either require batteries or external power?
Both are fully passive designs and require no batteries or external power. They operate via traditional magnetic field interaction without active circuitry.
Which one is easier to install?
The F-H2A offers 5-wire quick-connect output that allows series, parallel, and split configurations without soldering, streamlining installation. The H2A-B uses standard potentiometer compatibility but requires traditional wiring soldering.
