This Fluence Signature Series set is one of the first to introduce three distinct sounds into the Modern ceramic and Modern alnico humbuckers with a hybrid magnet configuration.
Based on the company’s Modern Humbuckers, Fishman added a Voice 3 to each pickup with a true, crystal-clear single coil tone, available alongside the two voices that RZK already loves.
The hybrid magnet design utilizes Alnico V in the neck pickup and Ceramic VIII in the bridge. Available in sets of metallic red and brushed stainless finish, these pickups deliver all the tones and sonic versatility that RZK needs. The collaboration began over a year ago as Rammstein was about to tour, playing some of the largest stadiums to sold-out audiences all over the world.
“RZK initially found himself gravitating towards the captivating tones of the Modern Series Humbuckers. However, it was a transformative encounter with our innovative hybrid magnet design that truly left a mark on him,” Fluence Brand Manager Ken Susi recalls.
RZK said this about his pickups, “If American pioneer spirit and German precision come together, a new pickup is born. The Fluence RZK Signature Series….. Powerful, reliable, tight, and unmistakable.”

Analog-amp-modeling pioneer Andrew Barta shows us the legendary Rush bassist’s streamlined preamp pedal, as well as Rammstein guitarist Paul Landers’ custom multi-effector.
The new multi-effect unit offers two SansAmp channels, Feuer (dirty) and Wasser (clean).
Clifton, NJ (October 9, 2018) -- Rammstein’s Paul Landers has been a long-time user of Tech 21 gear, first the SansAmp PSA and then the SansAmp GT2. The SansAmps were an essential part of the guitar sound on all of their albums, and particularly prominent in their worldwide smash "Du Hast." While he liked the format of the Fly Rigs, Paul was looking for a different feature set. Given Paul’s long-term relationship with Tech 21, it was a no-brainer to collaborate on a Signature Fly Rig to fulfill his individual needs.
According to Paul, “With the PL1 I have everything I need in my pocket. No amp needed for the best distortion sound I know of.”
The Paul Landers PL1 Signature Fly Rig offers two SansAmp channels, Feuer (dirty) and Wasser (clean). Features include delay and custom-designed Vibrato effect with tap tempo control, Ambiance with choice of size, and two modes of Boost. Other features include a chromatic tuner, headphone capability, and an XLR output for direct recording and going direct to a P.A. There are illuminated controls to show active status, studio-grade metal footswitches and jacks, and an included universal power supply. Enclosed in a rugged, all-metal housing, the Fly Rig measures 12.5”l x 2.5”w x 1.25”h and weighs a mere 20.7 oz.
