Re: Wanna rip heads off?
I traded Dave (theodie) for an Epiphone Goth V. He sent it to me set up with the Distortion set & the SPC. Using the Modern Hi-Gain (Soldano) setting on my V-Amp2, and setting the SPC on 10 gives a Killswitch Engage End of Heartache tone.
I only tried the Afterburner briefly, but the Jackson I used sounded noisey as hell with it on. It had EMG HZs. I like the SPC better, as it heats up the pickup with no additional noise
Also, you can use the SPC with any pickups.

Re: Wanna rip heads off?
Offhand how much of a boost is it?
I'll have to look but the new Kerry king set includes the spc along with the 81/85. Of Course you know this.
BTW. I switched my pups around last saturday.....so far I like the 85 in the bridge far better.
Then it got me remembering. Pinch harmonics were screaming off my 498T Im wondering now if I wired it bad. I mean I can still pinch em good just not as easily. Hell I can do pinch harmonics on a less output pickup.

Re: Wanna rip heads off?
Eventually I'm going to start a joke band like GWAR and get Kerry King's EMG set and put it in a BC Rich or some stereotypically metal guitar and get a classic crappy metal tone. Sorry for those of you who like Slayer.

Yeah, all the EMG boost controls work with anything.
Harrison, just replace one of the tone knobs with it.

Re: Wanna rip heads off?
Oh ya, forgot to ask. You could wire a switch in series with the afterburner so you dont have to use the push/pull right? Ya i guess it would work wouldnt it. Just turn the burner all the way up and put it into the control cav. I dont like having to use the push/pull tho turn it on and off.

You should get the PA-2. Same thing as the afterburner, but it's an on/off switch rather than a pot.

Re: Wanna rip heads off?
harrisondavid, I know what you mean about the EMG's and lack of harmonics, I had an 85 and an 81 in the bridge slot of one of my guitars previously and I just couldn't hit the pinch harmonics on it like I could on my guitars with passives. I'm not an active fan to begin with and that gave me one more reason to switch back to some seymours.
