[RepVenom]

Does anyone know what kind of pickups Fear Factory uses? Or what kind of pickup would sound like Fear Factory? Thanks in advance.

Active pickups? Shoot. Any passive pickups that have the same sound or sound alike?

Yeah that's right, they are a little bigger than a hb routed cavity.

When Dino was in FF, it was an EMG 707. Now that Christian is the guitar player, its the EMG 81-7.
I bet any hotter-than-hell Duncan would get you pretty close, just make sure to dial in a mid & treble heavy tone with rediculous amounts of gain.
Another key factor in Dino's tone (I can't say this about Christian) is really light guage strings. Dino used 10-50 tuned down 1 whole step.

Duncan Custom does it pretty well for me
