Le Roswell SHR-N H-Rails est un humbucker compact spécialement enroulé en bobine simple. En remplacement des micros de type ST courants, le H-Rails fournit des sons puissants à double bobine avec un rendement accru et aucun bruit de fond. Grâce aux aimants à lame continue, la puissance élevée reste constante, même avec des coudes larges et des vibratos. Le pick-up parfait pour le rock classique, le hard rock et le métal.

Roswell Pickups SHR-N H-Rails ST Neck WhiteI was fed-up with any other hot rails on the market having quite some curvature, making the strings volume uneven (external strings much lower than internal strings). This model is the only one I found to have much less curvature, and I expect the sound to be a lot more even string to string (haven't mounted yet to test). Besides that the manufacturing is in my opinion unbelievably good for this price range, the product is very clean and well finished and looks very profesionnal! A lot more than what we can find on amazon in this range. Unfortunately Roswell pickups are hard to find in Europe, I bought the regular "Neck" version here on musicstore but I wanted also to try the equivalent 7-strings and had to pay quite a lot to have it delivered in Europe with taxes and suffs... Regarding the sound now... well as I said I didn't tried it mounted yet but I measured it output frequency response: it is designed to match the level of regular humbucker, and thus the counterpart is that the resonance frequency is very short (around 2.2kHz let's say) and almost no resonant at all... There is thus not much treble by design and this goes towards usual response of humbuckers designed for metal I would say... The SHR-7 is in the same vain with even shorter resonance a bit below 2kHz I believe... As these are the "Neck" versions which are ~12.2k (well respected by the way), and in reality the basic SHR (no "neck" label) on Roswell catalogue, it makes wonder what the B version can give with a 23.8kDCR announced and even less treble relatively on the tone chart... To summarize:
-Good point: very professional finish; blade curvature rather flat
-Mitigated point (bad for my taste but could please some): very high output and low cutoff frequency, Would personally rather have something more neutral with a bit lower output level...
humbucker splittable de bonne qualité avec un prix très attractif 25 euros, il rivalise avec le Shadow SH661 à 44/55 euros et avec le Seymour Duncan SHR-1B hot rails américain à 103 € mini (enfoirés de trumpistes en surpoids), MAIS le Roswell est un produit coréen fabriqué en chine (beurk, je vomis)..: les chinois vont bouffer le monde entier très prochainement. Il est encore temps de les arrêter en boycottant leurs produits low cost ! je voulais essayer ce micro avant de les boycotter définitivement car ils sont l'exclusivité de Music store, avec qui j'ai eu quelques déboires côté service client français par mail - merci à Matthieu Gueudet (la grosse feignasse minimaliste) qui m'a bien dégoûte de Music store ! Grace à lui, j'irai acheter plutôt chez Woodbrass qui ne sont pas radins côté service client !
