I use a 57/66 set in a superstrat. Roll the tone back a tad and you can get that sound- The volume is there at least.I’m listening to some clips and really digging the EMG 57. Anyone use these?
it doesnt sound super saturated, but huge is how I'd describe it.Let me look into those
I've got one in my ESP Viper and it sounds absolutely killer. I also got the 66 in the neck and that sounds great as well. The 57/66 is my favorite pickup set right now.Thank you everyone, I think I’m going to give the EMG 57 a go.
The Afwayu was my fav High gain pup ever. Until I put an Iron Man in my other Charvel. Sounds damn near identical, which is probably due to the differences in each guitar making them sound so close. The Afwayu is in a USA SoCal which is a bit thicker sounding than my 08 SanDimas. I'm hesitant to put another IM in my SoCal since it will make it more powerful sounding that my SD. But for a passive pup the IM is probably the fattest and most articulate pup I've tried, even more than the MCP. Just a huge sounding pickup with great clarity for such a high gainer.Suhr Aldrich, Afwayu, EMG 57 OR Try an EMG 85 if you're going with EMG's.
Emg retro actives? Another pickup that works well in the right guitar. Usually a darker guitar.
Now you make me want to try the Iron Man. Thanks for the Info.The Afwyu was my fav High gain pup ever. Until I put an Iron Man in my other Charvel.

Eventually I’ll have to throw one in a guitar as wellNow you make me want to try the Iron Man. Thanks for the Info.
His description is pretty much on. The Afwayu and IM are also my two favorite high output pickups. The Afwayu has more emphasis on the lows, and the IM is a tad juicier. They’re both tight, fat, and sound huge.Eventually I’ll have to throw one in a guitar as well
One other thing to mention; I got it in less than 5 business days. Super fast turnaround. I love MCP stuff too; never played an average one as they all sound killer..I have an Angel Dust that I'll throw in an 84 Charvel getting a makeover. But Wade is super swamped and hard to get in touch with which can be frustrating. Jim is super fast and his pickups have a similar 'sweet' response and at least equal clarity if not better.Now you make me want to try the Iron Man. Thanks for the Info.
