Which is something I can agree with. Depends a lot on the situation really. Swapping out a PAF for an high output ceramic is definitely gonna make a difference. But then again, how often do you see guitar players doing the same with pickups that are somehow similar (or not that far) spec wise...
Probably decent at best at the time, and often swapped out for the Duncan flavour of the month. Now I wonder how many will prefer these to regular Duncand and DMZs
That's sorta my feel about guitars loaded with fish man pickups. But IME Schecter has many models with plenty of characters, at least as much as other import brands.
Oh my prejudice: Ibanez are mostly anemic to me and I hate their necks. Not a fan of BKPs as well. Oh and evertune bridge is...
“Whenever I go and play in Italy with a different band, and then there’s a guy in the soundcheck — the engineer, the sound engineer — ‘Oh, mamma mia! You can’t play like that.'”
How can we always end up like that I wonder.
Color me interested if these will be super reliable. I don't really care how they will sound, I've spent plenty of playing hours enjoying lesser tubes, even JJs, so anything equal or slightly better won't be a key factor to me, as long as they will deliver quality wise, especially considering in...
I sorta had the same problem with the Screamin Demon, which is far less hot but similar EQ wise, especially in the treble department: in a dense mix you either don't cut, or get a thin fizzy sound when EQing to cut properly.
Heavily depends on the guitar itself and how you EQ your amp (and the cab ofc). The Dimebucker is very scooped with piercing treble, which is something that might help you cut a lot, OR give you nightmares fighting cymbals and vocals at times.
I'd be curious to hear how they behave in the mix. The decimators are annoying bright alone, but in a band they cut really well, which a complain people have about the Pegasus
That's basically the problem I've found with most Blackstar production, especially HT series. Artisan amps were good, but the HT - curious enough their most popular line - always sounded quite flat in the upper range, and compressed.
