Live wire metal pickup

Re: Live wire metal pickup

Don't you think getting an active pickup with a solid state amp is kinda pointless?

The high output those pickups output is more or less meant to push a tube amp into overdrive/distortion.

You don't have any tubes to push.

Re: Live wire metal pickup

I have a Rocktron RT122C, when i tryed it i like it better then most of the tube apms i tryed, i Also have a Carvin MTS for my blues but i'm going to play with my rocktron when i get my live wire metal.


P.S so what would be a good pickup in the neck with it.

Just make sure you have a good amp. Active pickups bring out the best and worst in your rig. Playing active pickups through a mediocre amp will bring out the mediocraty. Playing them through an excellent amp will bring out the excellence.

Re: Live wire metal pickup

well its active and high output so yes on the zakk wylde question

but i've heard it sounds robotic, so you may wanna get an emg 81/85 set
