Hi,
First of all, this is NOT a rant, even if it may sound like one. I would love to be able to get some good use out of these pickups.
I have some questions about achieving a good tone with EMG 707 pickups. Everyone says that they're awesome pickups, but I haven't had that experience.
IMO they have very poor treble response, and their high output can cause clipping on the clean channel, and create a lot of awful background noise on the high-gain channel. There seems to be some very strange-sounding high-mid/treble frequencies. I tried posting a demo here but it won't let me.
Does anyone have any tips on how to get a good tone from these pickups?
