Post by: Vyl on March 28, 2009, 10:31:23 AM
So im looking for a new pickup/pickups for metal.

I am using Esp Horizon:
 
BODY : Mahogany with White Binding / Quilted Maple Top
NECK : Maple with White Binding
FINGERBOARD : Ebony
CONSTRUCTION : Neck-thru-body
SCALE : 25.5"
TUNERS : Gotoh Magnum Lock
BRIDGE : Tune-matic
HARDWARE COLOR : Black , Chrome
FRETS : 24 / XJ
NECK PICKUP : Seymour Duncan SH-1n
BRIDGE PICKUP : Seymour Duncan SH-4
CONTROL : 1 Volume , 1 Tone(with push-push Tap switch) , 3way toggle switch


And Engl Fireball tube head and standard 4'12 Engl cab

So I am looking for these kind of sounds.

For Rhytm: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mq0Ph97_H1w&feature=channel_page

Really nice sounding chug chug

For Rhythm & Lead? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3SjNU2nV9w

This kind of sound I want even more. I like the Modern tight sound and on this video it was really a tone heaven for me.

So throw me some suggestions for my kind of setup to get close for the Rhytm & Lead sound video clip

Thanks alot!

Will the miracle man be able to give modern rhytm sound like on the video? I dont shred that much so im going for the chuggy rythm sound and less lead. I watched some youtube videos of miracle man and everyone is just shredding their asses off :D It sounded kinda too dark to me. Want the Bright Modern sounding good for Rythm pickup.

It's huge in the low end, but it also has the cutting highs that you want. I think it'd be a perfect choice for you :)

my bandmate uses a custom made brazilian mahogany guitar with a miracle man set through a huge 100w fireball based amp built by himself
now he's buying parts to build a 50w 5150 for him, since he fell in love with the 5150s he was servicing
great match for sure!

tone gets a bit more dense, articulated and focused than the first rhythm video
and the leads are definitely thicker than the second lead video
but definitely between both ballparks

trust Nolly
he's great
he's even greater than Great Britain  :lol:
