Black Metal Pikcups.

Re: Black Metal Pikcups.

I know Hellish Outcast ain't black metal... Jeez...
But did you guys know, that Black Metal, is not about how it sounds, it's the lyrics that is black metal. The insane sounding is just added for a more pleasant experience :)
I never said that band was Black Metal.

I want that tone, that he's got. But I can't afford a 5150II ...
Pickups might send me in a better direction, atleast when I got some crappy 100HDFX amp.

Freddy,
you can get some hot pickups to maximize the drive of that amp, but pickups alone arent going to make that amp roar like a 5150. But, yes better pickups will sure help!!

Duncan Distortion is the greatest metal pup though!
 
Re: Black Metal Pikcups.

Most BM bands have sh!tty guitar sounds, so whatever works.

Wolves in the Throne Room-check
Iskra-check
Drudkh-check
Deathspell Omega-check
Yep, 5150 with a DD will do all that, but so would a bunch of crap.

That's why I own a bunch of crap.

Get a bugera 6260, it will get you in the roundhouse of where you want to be. If budget is a problem for a pickup try a dd detonator.
 
Re: Black Metal Pikcups.

I get it, you guys don't think a 100HDFX is good. But it was well worth what I got it for. And, decides, you just need a good kabinet for it, and it would sound pretty good.
 
Re: Black Metal Pikcups.

Please, be serious. This topic is not about what YOU consider a fail.
It's about a pickup that suits black metal... I will also upgrade to better amps when the times is here...
 
Re: Black Metal Pikcups.

oh right.
something you must know is, the sound you listen on albums comes from laying several guitar tracks... so, don't expect to get the 'exact' same sound coming from one amp.
To get a 'high gain sound', you need a high gain amp, period.

but you haven't told us what guitar and pickups you have.
 
Re: Black Metal Pikcups.

I have told you what guitar I have. If you had read the first post you maybe would have noticed this line: "I have a les paul". It's from Heimdale. I have no idea what pickups there is in it, but it ain't giving me the tones I want. Yes, I have tried different amps, and pedals, but just not giving me a sound I'm comfortably with.
 
Re: Black Metal Pikcups.

ok, my bad.
If I were you, I would go for a good high gain amp. But if you don't have the money yet, try changing the pickup first.
I would suggest to get a bridge pickup with more output... a pickup with ceramic magnet, like the SH-5 (Custom), SH-6 (Distortion), SH-8 (Invader) or some Dimarzios. If you want an in-your-face high output pickup, check some actives pickups like EMG or SD Blackout.

btw, black metal is not just about the lyrics. If Shakira sing some songs about satan, it wouln't be black metal... if you know what I mean.
 
Re: Black Metal Pikcups.

That's wrong. Black metal ain't about just satan ;) Lots of other ****. But in some views, black metal is Satanism, and I agree on that. But there are different sorts of black metal in the world...
But if shakira stated she was black metal (black rnb is more right i think), she wouldn't get any attention from the metal world if that's what you mean. Infact, she would lose fans for that haha.

I got EMG's in my KH202... Dosn't sound great. But I'll check out the local music stores soon=)
Anyways... Thanks!

Those are probably EMG HZ's, not the same thing.
