    Anyone Keep Going Back To EMG?

    I noticed Jackson's latest offering that everyone is going rightly bananas over (it's so sick) comes standard with EMGs Sooner or later, everyone comes back 😂

    Unslanting / converting multiscale pickups to straight

    Absolutely this and is also another reason I use covered actives. Far easier to make work on multi scale or just about any applications

    Anyone Keep Going Back To EMG?

    I checked out demos before and ive always been blown away by the clean sounds. It could just be my jam though tonally but I would say you wont go wrong. I mean this sounds stunning to me. Beautifully rich and harmonic -

    Adding a Gate when amp has a built in Gate?

    Axe FX III An Improvement Over Axe FX II XL+?

    10000% this. My ax8 got sold because after over a year it was constantly too thin/hifi sounding and I just ended up never liking any amp sound/patch I made. I also dont like the UI and how overly convoluted the thing is. The inspiration to go Fractal at that time was my love for After the...

    Kemper Pedal

    The older I get the more im a set and forget idealist. Gone are the days of me spending more time tweaking than playing, for absolutely no apparent reason. My old Kemper got me the best tone Ive ever had. The AX8 i had at the same time was just endless and endless tweaking, tone changing and I...

    Failure Swapping EMG HZ

    EMGs literally work fine without grounding to anything which is presumably why you had no problem on that front when the HZs were in the guitar? What I would do is sand/grind some of the finish off the bridge so its bare metal exposed, then sort the ground wires out to that bare metal. Thomann...

    The Fishman Fluence Thread

    orrrr...... just put in the more superior 81 and do the 24v mod for it which actually saves space as those packs are smaller than a 9volt battery.

    People saying EMG's not thick/dynamic, but use Tube Screamers?

    Fishmans have the cocked wah EQ

    People saying EMG's not thick/dynamic, but use Tube Screamers?

    Fishmans are defo more like that than EMGs because of the crazy over the top EQ(cocked wah high mid spike) Sometimes it's exactly what you want, other times it isn't and sounds a thin nasally mess

    People saying EMG's not thick/dynamic, but use Tube Screamers?

    I don't care what people say about EMGs. They're amazing for my playing style. I even run a compressor Infront of mine as well as an OD: Keeley comp > noise gate > Boss sd1 > noise gate > amp

    Convert 7 string Pickups to 6 string - possible?

    Unless your guitar has a pickguard that hides any pickup routes/sloppy work, you're going to have to rout out a fair bit of material to make the larger 7s fit and possibly make errors and it look ugly and ruin the guitars top. Seems abit pointless to me as most 6s are made as versions of 7 too

    EMG 57 Chrome Cover 60 cycle hum/Noise

    I know they epoxy them all up entirely but is it worth wax potting it anyway just to possibly help even though it probably can't get in and penetrate ? I don't know really. I've not had emgs do this but then I've not had the metal covered ones before.

    Replacing a kemper?

    Best tone I ever got was from my kemper. It was outrageously monsterous. I still sold it and my Ax8 and ended up with an BluGuitar Amp1 Iridium + pedals.
