Pasadena Series: BLACK
 
The Pasadena Series “Black” offers a slightly darker, more assertive voice that suits the bold rock tones heard on arena stages around the world in the early ’80s.
 
The PS-BL1 brings a gritty, confident edge when driven, giving riffs a strong, cutting presence without becoming harsh or overbearing. Roll back the volume and it transitions smoothly into a clear, open clean that responds well to touch and dynamics.
 
Tap harmonics rise effortlessly, carrying a touch of chime that adds definition and character without overwhelming the core tone.
 
With output hotter than an overwound PAF but still far from modern high-output extremes, the Pasadena “Black” hits the ideal middle ground — bold, articulate, and ready for any rock setting.
 
Strike a chord and this pickup answers with the power, attitude and inspiration
