Dca lp « It off the wallpaper ... »
Published on 01/30/13 at 04:23I have this microphone for almost 6 months.
I first installed these pickups (yes, I put one in the bridge and even handle) and I have both been filled and equally disappointed. Let me explain:
These microphones are equipped with jumpers (sort of plug making contact with the two pins dedicated) that can constrain or release rate saturation.
My setup at the time was:
- Gibson Les Paul Studio black ebony stained (Ahb-2 bridge unbridled flanged sleeve)
- Fender superfield xd
- Pedals such as Boss mt-2 amended (the original I do not suporporte), zoom tri metal (analog, great for rhythm, including palm mute), black star ht-dist, whammy, mxr 78, mxr Fullbore metal ..).
I play mainly black label society, pantera, Metallica and also blues and some classic rock when the mood take me. Anyway, I love the big distos, but "clean" sharp and warm. Quite the opposite of what a fuzz!
With this configuration, the distortion is violent, very violent, even in free version too. Artificial harmonics fuse, and monstrous distortions are easily affordable. on the other hand in the neck position, the result is not exceptional, this mic is really dedicated to a bridge position.
Anyway, I had removed because they do not fit me.
Then I bought a TubeMeister 18, and I decided to give a 2-ahb bridge, but not at full power.
I replaced the neck pickup with a emg 85 and there .. The top!
I'm thrilled, this mixture is very versatile ..
Because what I did not say is that the chosen field of Ahb-2 is the distortion, the clean is to forget as well as crunches, disgusting ..
To summarize, if full of micro mediums and Palm mute sharp because you are interested in a much warmer emg 81 go for it, but for the bridge position only. It does not sound cold because it has a micro active passive nature of its composition alnico.
Her performances are up to my expectations, but restrained, for free dose gain is such that it becomes messy in my opinion, to grind core in a pinch!
Couples to the neck pickup and versatile balance between distortion and clean will be respected.
