New Pyramid strings

The nice people from Pyramid delivered the first packages of strings. With some extra ...

Assembling a custom set 10-13.5-17-26-36-48 was something they did in a flick of a switch, cool. The postman was a lot slower … :)

So I now had the same gauge set from Pyramid, just like my favourites from D’Addario or Stringjoy.

While testing the Pyramid strings, nickel wounds and new rock, I thought what would be the best, most honest approach. In a short period of time. I know the D’Addarios and Stringjoy for years now. Feel and sound !

For me it was trying the Pyramids with various clean sounds and then different drives, treble boosters and others and finally with some effects.

To be honest : as soon as I turned on chorusses, vibratos or uni-vibes, it got a bit odd … it became clear the Pyramids sounded quite different and I still cannot see why. With Stringjoy or D’Addario’s the effect is lighter.

Is that a good thing ? Maybe, it gives more sonic leverage !

Damn good strings !

I would say the following …

If you are into classic rock, like AC/DC or Led Zeppelin or even stoner rock : the New Rock Pyramid strings are the way to go !

Hendrix, The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Scott Henderson : the regular nickel wound Pyramid strings are it !

Let’s do the same experiment tomorrow and see if I agree with what I said today.

Anyway, the price of the nickel wound and the new rock Pyramid strings is very honest too : TRY THESE !
