I think the video should be on how to brighten NON active pups… EMG's (generally speaking) are much brighter than the average pickup.
I hate the jangle of fresh strings. Strings sound good after a couple days of playing. I change strings after about two months.
Thanks for showing me ABSOLUTELY nothing about brightening my pickups and showing me how to select an IR I can’t afford the hardware for ????????????
Honestly most people just have to much gain and that’s the reason simple
sorry but i can‘t hear any differences because you play everything in the mix ????????♂️
Have you tried just unplugging your tone pots? Something else I noticed when I replaced the wiring in a Les Paul I snatched up from a pawn shop is EMGs plug and play electronics sound like shit compared to, say, an Obsidian wire rig. I’m going to get Mad Hatter controls and see how they affect the overall tone. (Going with a single volume pot and kill switch this time.)
I have 2 EMG active pickups and they are very hot, can't get a nice balanced tone like one would with passive pickups and tone sounds more digital thorugh the plugins unless I have the settings wrong on the interface, tends to clip on the gain from 3 o clock
5 years without changing strings is a capital punishment. It should be.
EMG 57/66 + 24V mod = versatility
Well that was not what I wanted ???? basically said restring guitar, get plug-ins and an eq. Not much help but maybe someone found it helpful?
Change strings an turn a tone knob! I'm out 3:00minutea!
What gear he used to record this
I am an addict to the plugins. I got the Soldano plug-in over a year ago and haven't looked back. I need a new fix though. I am a huge Dream Theater fan so I might have to go with John's custom plugin. I bought an Ibanez RGIB21 just for the Soldano plugin. The guitar with the plugin, I get monster sound and great cleans. The presets are awesome also. I did a recording with a preset and it sounds great without any thing added. When are we going to get a Marshall (JMC 800 – 900) like plugin? I need my Satch tone sometimes.
hey man, any recommendation on EMG 81/85 PUs height to start with ? Should they be as closest to the strings as possible ?
No one on this planet earth rest assure has covered how to make emg actives darker
No no no no we want be darker God dammit
Thank you!
Nice Gears Sticker!
The set up I have is the is katana-100watt amp with classic black ZX Dean guitar guitar pickups I have in it is EMG ZW-81 85 EMG pickup set with a wah pedal crybaby from hell thinking adding a the overdrive pedal with it
I have ZW-81/85 EMG pickup set
the video, eluded to brightening up the guitar. .. the guitar….anyone can eq a guitar with pedals and crap. title is mis leading somewhat.
What's the music at 1:05?
Is this for mac or pc?
Finding the right 412 cab to match your amp head will do more than anything mentioned in the video. Two T-75 Celestions paired with some V30's will get the job done.
