When the pegasus was announced and i saw the demo from keith merrow i instantly ordered the pegasus/sentient set. I threw it in my 7 that has mahogany body with a spalted maple top, wenge neck with an ebony fretboard. The guitar sounds great unplugged, but ive never bonded with it plugged in. Maybe its my lack of experience with playing a 7, but im the kind of player that gets discouraged with my playing when the tone is uninpiring. My amp is an Egnater Tweaker 40, and i run a buch of different drive pedals depending on the situation, EHX soul food, TS clone, Fuzzface clone, Boss BD-2 and a few others. I even tried switching strings on the guitar to Ernie Ball Cobalt. The strings definately made a difference but it wasnt really something i was looking for. It definately sounds bigger and a bit clearer but in a freq that doesnt seem right to me. I remember that when i first got my Screamin Demon on my SG copy that i felt something similar, it felt like there was something lacking (in the mids maybe?). So i swapped the magnet for an A8 and made it a double philister head, and now that pickup is my favorite for higher gain tones. Im 90% sure i have some A8 in my parts box.
TLDR: the pegasus sounds like its lacking something to me possibly high mids and note seperation, should i swap to an a8?
other suggestions would help too.
