Death Metal Special

I have a H/H Jackson Dinky and want extreme gain and this is what i have planned. I've completley stripped the guitar and installed Tone-Pros bridge with Graphtech saddles and Sprezel locking tuners along with a Graphtech nut for incredible sustain, innotaion and tunning stabilty.I have put a Dimarzio D Activator in the bridge positon for articulate speed riffs with atomic amounts of gain and a Seymour Duncan Invader in the neck position for screaming sweeps and piercing harmonics.
:drill:
 
Re: Death Metal Special

Because i wanted somthing that didnt sound so sterile whilst ataining the same amount of gain.
 
Re: Death Metal Special

Didn't think much of my Invaders - the neck one was a waste of space for heavy stuff. I can't believe Nile use Invaders and sound so awesome.

I'm waiting on Blackouts to make my Jackson RR3 a death metal machine.
 
Re: Death Metal Special

i actually hate the d-activator bridge. the neck sounds great. nice fluid lead sound for great sweeps. but the brige was horrible, incredibly sterile. and it has NO low end. There was no chunk in the lower frequencies. it was as if i was running an EQ with the Bass at 2, the mids at 7 and the treble at 10. i hated it. If you really want extreme amounts of gain, go for a Dimarzio X2N, or a Duncan Distortion if you want mountains of gain that's still really controllable.
 
Re: Death Metal Special

For insane gain, I'd have went with a killer amp, or a mega-drive fuzz pedal. But if you want it out of the pups....ok.

no doubt both approaches yield different results. i'm one of those guys that loves punching the front end in the nuts via high output pups.
