I’m back to a high gain amp, a shreddy guitar, and looking for better aggressive tones. It’s been awhile since I really embraced that, and my tastes have changed a lot since I was “Invader and all the gain!!!”
I’m playing an LTD M-1000, maple neck thru, alder body, Floyd, and a pair of EMG 81s. I still love the 81s, but my metal tone is now more chunk than fizz, and a lot more mids than I used to like.
In a trade, I just got a Fender Mustang III v2 1x12, and really like the Dual Recto tone. I don’t care whether it’s active or passive, but I’d like to get back a bit of dynamics. I’m thinking either an EMG 57 for the bridge, a pair of DiMarzio D Activators, Duncan Black Winters, Fluence... something I haven’t done to death. I’d like to try the Blackouts, but all reports seem to be they’re hotter than 81s.
Tonewise, some sort of more modern version of Pantera crossed with Slayer is what I’m after.
