I'm wanting to get liquidy round full lead tones from a single coil pickup, similar to the Dimarzio Titan and Liquifire but in a single coil, do any exist? any suggestions?

What would a humbucker sound like on a 250k pot?

Wondering what the difference is between a noise gate and a compressor?

I'm planning on getting a set and I know it comes with 2 volume pots and 2 tone push/pull pots, but do you have to use all of them? Can you just do 1 master volume and 2 push pull tones? also I'm new to Actives and I know actives use different pots but I'm wondering can you put orange drop tone...

I know Plini uses Seymour Duncans, I can see that but does anyone know which SD's he uses?

I want a guitar with actives, I'm looking for that classic modern active tone and I know the Fishman's are more versatile but do they still have that active sound that emg's have?

I'm thinking of putting a set of 81x/60x in a guitar as I've never tried active before and I've heard that the 18v Mod improves the sound of the normal 81/60 and makes them sound like the x series but what would happen if you 18v modded the x series. Would it make them sound better as well or...

I'm gluing some quilted maple veneer onto a Tele style basswood body, what is the best glue to use and does anyone have any tips or tricks to make it easier/better? I'm planning on just clear staining/oiling it or a blue burst.

Which would be a more versatile 7 string set, Dimarzio Crunch lab/LiquiFire or Seymour Duncan Nazgul/Sentient. I want something that has a nice distortion tone but also cleans up very well, I know both these sets do fit this criteria but I was wondering which was better. I currently have a SD...

I'm looking at getting this for the bridge of my Ibanez RG421 and I'm just wondering if its a tight pickup (tight bas, tight treble) I want something high gain but still tight and articulate. Thoughts?

I'm planning on buying a very cheap 8 string and replacing the tuners and pickups. I'm going to put hipshot tuners (unless someone suggests something better for a similar price) and I was planning on putting Dimarzio Ionizer 8's in it until they announced the eclipse model (I love animals as...

Which would be better to put in bridge position for heavy but still tight chug chugs?

I am new to tube amps, I just bought a small 20w all tube head and a Marshall 1x10 microcab, the amp was new but the cab was second hand and I cant get it to work. I plugged the head into the cab and plugged the power chord in, the head turns on and the lights come on and it changes channels and...
