I think you should reach out to LtKojak, there in Italy.

Those bands you posted play with many different pickups and guitars...it's their arrangements of amplification, pedals, effects and recording techniques that are mostly responsible for the sounds they achieve.

At this point, I strongly recommend you try the Nazgul. There's a very good chance that it will do everything that you are looking for. It's a great pickup and you can always change it if you don't like it.

Yeah you are totally right and i
know that. I just want to get the closest i can to GazettE/Dir en Grey kind of tone, i know i would never get the same exact tone but i want to get the closest i can to it.

I think the nazgul can help me a lot achieving my goal, i mean the ht5R is really dirty and lack a bit of medium so.. And the pisdiyauwot pedal sounds really like a armaggedon-like.

So i guess i just need the accuracy of the nazgul and it will sounds perfect..

I mean i like the sh14 custom 5 but i will got one on my ESP Eclipse so i got no need to get two guitars with the same exact pickups combinaison (sh1/sh14) that s why i was talking about the nazgul and the black winter.

someone could play on the exact same gear and not sound the same. it is also a LOT more than just a pickup. take the dive on what you think will work best and see how it turns out. it might take you a few tries... or you may get it right away. won't know until you begin.

Yep you are very true. Even the way to use the pick, it change the sound, every slightest detail is important.

Anyway as i stated before i want to get the closest i can, i am really aware about the fact that i will probably never sound the same
and i don't want to ;

i stopped to try to copy the guitarists that i love for finally becoming myself someone (as a guitarist) the path will be long though..

But things are interesting in music for that so i have no regrets..
