Hi there,
I'd like to get a little advice regarding pickups if you care to help me out.
Right now i'm playing an esp ec-1000 through vetta II hd through a mesa 412, and I'm not quite satisfied with the EMG 81's that come stock with the ec 1000. I like to think I play harder rock (ie tool, old metallica etc.) but not quite grinding metal, which the EMG's seem well suited for.
Anyways, I find when tweaking patches that, in almost all high-gain conditions, I have to roll back both the treble and presence till about 7:30/8:00 just to avoid getting that "piercing" high end that blows out your ears. The vetta's post eq can curb this a bit, but I'm thinking that a lower-output pickup would be the right move. Any ideas on what to check out?
