Stu, you're not linking it properly. You must put your files into a public folder (I.E. dropbox/public/pickups/) and then right click on each file -> Dropbox -> copy public link.

Out there, somewhere
Now repost them in the format used in the listings in the first post and I'll add them. I don't mind keeping this updated, but I have better things to do than formatting people's posts for them.

Anywhere but here.
Drop box uploads so slow. Rebel yells in series incoming though. If someone wants parallel or split down the line let me know. Some ringing chords, followed by a progression, followed by me embarassing myself playing 'metal' style riffs that most of the people here are probably looking for. 3 takes, Bridge, between, and Neck as this is a callibrated set that seemed apt. I suppose it wouldn't hurt if I warmed up but whenever I get to urge to actually do this it is procrastinating from something else for 5 minutes.

Do you keep the soldering iron on standby or something? :lol: . The links work fine from my end, I'll look into it.

Edit: I had to put them into the public folder, new to this drop box thing. Too late to edit the last post, they should work now.

I'm kinda 50/50 with you here...

Just messing around with the DI's you posted.. these Arc300's were stupid easy to dial in. Every amp-sim I tried, it just had a way better starting point for my ear and likewise better ending tone.

The 707 clip on the other hand, took a lot of tweaking for me to get a sound I like from them. It's a combination of trying to tighten it's slightly squishy nature (not muddy) to get a good chunk out of them and trying to keep the tone focused and clear enough. Quite a balancing act, though some people love that fat chunk tone they naturally have, I guess you either like it for you playing or you don't. I agree though.

So, if given I had to pick one to play with, it'd be the Arc for sure in this case. But on the otherhand, I wasn't big on the 707's myself in my old Hellraiser and ended up with switching them out, so the results are not surprising to me. I'd say swap 'em.

Definitely give the EMG X-series(81-7x)/Blackouts a try though if you can find some to play, you might just change your mind a bit as far as actives go.

You should here the ARC now that I've actually set it up properly. I've set the action up a little higher and it sounds even thicker now, I love it.

I'm going to be selling the Loomis down the road anyways though so no point in fucking with it now.

This thread's getting pretty cool!

I'll be adding Crunch Lab, Liquifire, Mo'Joe, PAF Joe, and possibly the Fender pickups in my strat tomorrow hopefully.
Hey, any progress? :)
I'd really love to have DI tracks of the Crunch Lab/LiquiFire!
