It’s been a while since I’ve seen any news from Q-tuner but I did post about the Q2.0 Neodymium magnet humbuckers back in May 2012 which look really cool. Now Q-tuner have announced a single coil sized version of the humbucker called the Q2.0 SC priced at $125 each (or a set of 3 for $350).
The Q2.0 SC is designed to be noiseless and powerful, engineered to deliver a pronounced dynamic bass response and the “near-magical” clarity, covering a frequency range from 10 Hz up to 10 kHz. Q-tuner say that Q2.0 SC is the cleanest sounding passive mini-humbucker available.
There are a couple of audio examples on the Q-tuner website which illustrate the extraordinary clean tones possible from the Q2.0 SC but I’m not sure that this is exactly the tone that most people will be looking for so I think it would be great to hear more examples of tones, which hopefully Q-tuner will post up on YouTube soon. I’d particularly like to hear crunch and high gain tones.
