A microphone metallers strong character, to use that REALLY disto (I insist on it):

Mounted in place of an ESP LH-150 original, well punchy, this microphone shows a completely different character:
- Single rack, cold, sharp, precise and punchy, the harps whistled fuse, thunderous riffs and rhythms are pests!
- In overlap with the neck pickup (LH-150) is almost as powerful, but very warm, rich singing harmonics appear again and you will find a sound like Slipknot on "sulfur" for example.

Conclusion: Quite a character, a truly distinctive, very different microphones "standard" that will be suited on the other hand maybe not everyone ...
EMG Seymour and their followers, DiMarzio too!
Personally, having looked for "my" sound, I've finally found it!

Important: Although adjust the spacing between pickups and strings, to experiment and refine the positions relative to each other, because this is the price that the outcome of this microphone is excellent.
Because, very analytical, any failure to play stringed instruments or tuning of spring. So to get on a guitar of good quality (clearly an EX-50, that's enough!) And well settled.
Having previously tested on a BC-Rich low-end, was the cata ...

For cons, the cleans are now banned (except for weird effects, it can have its charm ...), this mic is definitely not for this. In a versatile guitar, one passes to an exclusive (the neck pickup alone does not make it on the cleans, the combination of the two LH-150 was nice ...), but what disto potato and what sound!

Mount this microphone without ulterior motive, but keep your 2nd guitar for cleans!

Setup: ESP-LTD EX-50 + DP-159 / V-Amp Pro-/ AW-16G.
