    Passive Alternative To Jeff Loomis tone?

    What is the closest match to Jeff Loomis Blackouts as passive pickups? the guitar is an ibanez rg3120 with renewed switch, cabling, pots etc. (I play through a soundcard so output isn't important) ​

    Neck PU for shred

    I want to get rid of my old air norton (neck) but keep the tonezone. The faster I try to play, I tend to loosen my touch and pick softer so I need something sensitive. Honestly I feel more comfortable with my jackson js11's cheap PU than the air norton which is on my ibanez. During my...

    Quick pot/capasitor question

    I like my guitars tone more when the tone pot is rolled off a bit. Its dual humbucker, 500k push-pull pots, has treble bleed, .022uF 223K Orangedrop tone cap. .

I didn't like it upside down and to extend the...

    (maybe a tough) Treble bleed question

    I just analyzed my recording of an ibanez type treble bleed mode, when the ceramic 0.33uF cap. is connected it decreases right after 1khz (high shelve like) as much as -3db. This is of course without turning the volume pot down. Question is if I use a 0.15 cap. instead, from what freq. will it...

    Changing screw poles

    I've been testing mod.s on my Air Norton (which is a norton now used on neck :) ) for a while, everything I tried was mainly internal like metal bar, air, magnet touching etc. Yesterday I raised the screw poles on low and high E sides the thickness of a jazzIII pick, then rised the other poles...
