What is your next guitar/gear purchase gonna be?

I had a SH14 and it somehow sounded dark and twangy at the same time.

We'll see what happens. I've seen some Blackouts floating around mroe commonly than the SH-5.

I changed from Blackouts to SH5 in my Blackjack ATX C1. Also noticed that the SH5 has also some kind of "twang" in the background that I can't explain. But sounds very nice and it cut really well in a band-situation, compared to the Blackouts that I found to be very scooped and too hot.

I keep juggling between the SH-5, Blackouts, Distortion, and Black Winters. Shit isn't easy. I like the high end of the SH-5 but I remember the bass being pretty big.

having a severe episode of GAS over Strymon Timeline. rn the only con (other than the price lol) is the form factor - defo won't fit on any of my pedalboard rigs.

I understand. I've only tried the SH5 in my Schecter, and it sounds amazing (to my taste..). But I have two spare SH5's , waiting to be tested in other guitars - just to confirm if they work well in other guitars also I wonder if I should try one in my Eclipse.

The Distortion is the obvious answer.

Oddly after checking out a bunch of videos, I'm checking out the Invader. I love the gnarly midrange crunch it has.

Imma be honest dude, that's the wettest fart I've ever heard coming out of an amp, as from others who've had that in a guitar. Some people make them sound good, but it needs a lot of tweaking.

I think I’ve read some crazy shit like swapping to neodymium magnets makes the Invader sound insane. Probably BS but, I’ve been curious ever since reading it

I got it for cheap so eh, if it ends up being shit I'll flip it. I've just been super curious about the invader since *fprever*.

 

[TheWarAgainstTime]

I've been able to try a few friend's guitars with Invaders through my rig and I thought it was cool for super heavy stuff you reeeeally have to back it off from the strings or else it'll be overly hot and mushy.

I'd be curious to swap the screws of one coil or both to those used in the Full Shred and a lot of Dimarzio humbuckers.

Huh, thats an interesting idea. I wonder how the Invader polepieces affect it

 

[odibrom]

I've bought something... within a week should be here...

 

[MFB]

I have an Invader in my Kramer at my folk's house, and it's just balls to the wall output. Like, hey, 17 year old me wanted gain and what I got was GAIN.

Apparently Invaders use a different thread than your standard polepieces. When I get the Invader I'll have to yank a polepiece out to see the dimensions.

Thinking of selling my Boss TU-3W and getting a Peterson tuner to try out sweetened tunings.

What a pain in the ass.

Thunder road guitars just posted a nash JM with blocks and binding. I briefly considered listing the SC594 SH

They do. The pole pieces and the extra two ceramic magnets are most of the Invader magic IMO. The former being the biggest factor, also imo. The black winter is also triple ceramic and the two couldn’t really be tonally farther apart other than output.

IF it's possible, i'm curious to see what the difference is with the different polepieces.

I'm just a wee bit anxious, the Invader has been a pickup I've always been curious about since it's allegedly all over Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets.
