I took a backing track for Megadeth's "Symphony of Destruction" (with vocals too, it's cool) and recorded a short clip for left and right guitar parts using the bridge pickups in my :
Epiphone Black Beauty, Alnico II Pro
Jackson DK2M, JB
"Freya" strat copy (the pink one), Duncan Distortion
Yeah, sorry guys, I didn't do Marty's solo! Eventually I'll give it a go!
Which sounds the best? I used EXACTLY the same settings for each part, and each guitar.

Who says the A2P can't do metal?
Here's a link to the three clips in one, save you listening to each seperately - JB first, then the A2P, then the DD:
More!!!!
DiMarzio Super Distortion in my "Dave Murray" Squier copy:
Late 80's/early 90's Squier Fat Strat, stock pickup (I believe). This is the guitar I was asking for info on recently, it sounds alright although I think the pickup is more suited to less high gain styles. Pinch harmonics are still pretty easy to get though.
Finally, a single coil just to see how it'd sound.
Squier Affinity single coil (in my Marlin "Freya" strat, the plywood guitar that was used here for the first SH6 Distortion clip).
MORE ADDED!
Okily-dokily I did some more. Now, I THINK I used the exact same settings, but I'm honestly not sure. I have one setting I use as my "go to" in Toneport, and I think I've used it for all these clips but I'm really not 100% certain, so bear it in mind when comparing these new ones with the older ones.
Okay first up, Jackson DK2 with an EMG81:
Next, the spiritual home of this song...Jackson KE3 Kelly (with new DK2 neck), JB again:
Another JB equipped Jackson, this time an SL3 Soloist:
And finally, another Jackson, this time my JDR-94 Concept, with a Bill Lawrence USA 500XL:
You might want to skip the Kelly and SL3 clips, since they're done with JBs in the bridge which I already did. Unless you want to compare three different JBs, I dunno. To be honest, everything is starting to sound the same to me.
I have to say, the EMG track was great fun to play, I thought it sounded awesome. But listening back to it, I think it sounds the absolute worst out of the lot. Funny how your ears hear one thing while you're playing, then another when listening back to it.
EDIT again, just added one with the Custom Custom I got off ebay, it's in a late 80's/early 90's Squier:
Epiphone Black Beauty, Alnico II Pro
Jackson DK2M, JB
