Sooo Anyone here have an EMG afterburner?

[Mephis]

My guitar teacher is selling an afterburner cheap and I really have no use for the coil splitter on my carvin.

But I don't want to leave the hole empty or with a crappy plug.



Would I be insane to have an afterburner with an invader? This is purely in concept because I feel a coil split on the invader is next to worthless.

Yes I know it's next to stupid to have a 20dB gain boost with an invader. My main question is, would it be useable?

if you use it as a lead boost it could be pretty cool

the afterburner owns, my teacher uses one, he explained to me and showed me why it's better than just turning your amp vol more, if you say at vol set to 3 (on a 100w ofcourse ) and you want more of the same sound and not get the increase in vol cause it changes the sound somewhat, but you want more sound, you use the afterburner (or any other kind of booster) but when it's fitted to the guitar it's much easier to turn from rhythm to lead or back without changing your overall sound, if i were you i'd it, and when it's cheap it's all good ;o

Tried it... just made the pickups noiser and higher output. Found no use other than getting a passive up top active levels.

Yea I'll probably just drill another hole in the pickguard and give it a go, I'll wire up the middle for splitting while I'm in there.

If nothing else, it would be good for bragging rights.
