Hello everybody.

A little question, if you want to play:

Mama im coming home
road to nowhere
you cant kill rock and roll
diary of a madman

With a clean tone, but still wants that "Mr crowley/ Crazy train sound"

What pickups do you chose? (in neck /bridge)
( and what pots? 500/250? )
(its the same Lp body i got at Ebay, Honduran Mahogany)

Probably a Miracle Man will do all that.

Why not try emailing Tim, he plays (played??) in an Ozzy tribute band, I think he uses Miracle man and Mule pickups mostly

I think an Emerald would fit the bill from what I've heard.

miracle man is great for zakk tones, but not that great for randy and jake tones
the miracle man will do a nice clean if you turn off your boosters
if your amp is too sensitive for input clipping, then maybe you need to use volume knob on the guitar a bit (like zakk does with his EMG's)

a mule with some signal and mid boosting through a plexi amp will be great for randy and jake songs

i'd get something different that would do both... like a rebel yell or holy diver
