Blackstar HT-5, Gibson Flying V, Seth Lover Pickups

[JOLLY]

Me just dorking around so you can see how the Seth Lovers and Blackstars sound with a bit of gain behind them. I really like these pickups. They're very well balanced. I was about 10 feet away from my amps and had them cranked up pretty good. I didn't get any microphonic feedback whatsoever.

I'm running both of my Blackstar HT-5's together on this. One is panned left and the other is panned right. The one to the right is mic'd with a Sennheiser E609, and the one to the left is mic'd with a Shure SM57. Both have the mic right in the center of the speaker.

The Bass, Mid, and Treble are all set to right around 1 o'clock on the amp. The overdrive is at 3 o'clock. The Volume is at 12 o'clock. The ISF was set to about 8 o'clock.

It doesn't sound too bad I reckon, but it's a little too bright for my taste because I had the ISF knob too far to the left.

Yeah....but methinks it would have worked just as well in some mix....would have been clear and none too harsh either..liked that tone!

That's a tight and articulate sound, kinda 'open' and 'tight' at the same time somehow. Great rock tone and playing, and I like how you mix things up to keep the listening experience interesting. Real solid stuff, i dig it.

Here's the same setup but with an MXR Classic Overdrive thrown in there.

Thanks man. I was thinking about doing some soundclips of all the Duncan pickups I have. I was going to do them all playing the same riff. What I would do would be to play the riff by itself so they could be heard alone and then use that same riff with drums, bass, and a little lead fill. I'd be using all of the pickups listed in my signature that I have in my guitars. What do you think?

Re: Blackstar HT-5, Gibson Flying V, Seth Lover Pickups

do it up and post it on youtube. Would make a really good vid for comparing pickups.

Unfortunately, I have no idea how to post a video on youtube. I'll do them on Soundclick, but if you know how to do them on youtube for me that would be cool.
