Hello, I was hoping some one could give me some insight into a problem. I have two SD pickups. Both bridge models. The APH-2 and the Black Winter. The APH-2 picks up massive noise when orienting the guitar in certain directions. The black winter is much, much quieter. Even the cheap ESP designed neck pickup is substantially quieter. Again, the noise seems to be induced EMI while the guitar is oriented in certain directions and a almost complete "null" in a "sweet" spot. But my other humbucker pickups do not exhibit the induced noise at the same extreme level.
I do play extremely high gain. But again, the Black Winter does not have this noise issue nor the cheap ESP designed stock pickup. Ive tested ground and all the wiring. Tone seems good. Just noisy.
So I have some questions I hope some one can answer that may help lead me to the culprit.
1-is it possible since the APH-2 is a quieter output pickup that the signal to noise ratio is effecting this?
2- is the APH-2 relatively noisier pickup?
3- is there something I can test within the APH-2 that would tell me if the pickup is defective in its noise cancelling properties?
thank you,
mike
