Anybody using Fishman KSE's?

I love trying new pickups out, and these have been under my radar for a while. How do you guys think they'd do in a Les Paul?

How do you guys like them? I hear they're tighter and more attacky than the Moderns? I love the Moderns, but I wonder if the KSE's are a bit thin?

Also, what is Voice 2 like? I really like the Willie Adler Voice 1. Is it anything like that?

THanks!
 
The KSE set is tighter, a bit lower output. brighter and gets stronger, sharper pinch harmonics than the modern set. I didn’t find them too thin in my guitars, but the modern set is thicker. I liked them for what they were, but fwiw have long since been instead using various vintage passive high out pickup that imho made all these Fluence’s obsolete and just not good sounding comparatively, ymmv
 
Yeah, I've been in and out of passives lately. I like them. I just like the feel of actives as well.

And yeah, my Les Paul is in Drop C with EB Magnum Slinkys or whatever.
