    Thinking of changing from EMG's

    list your amplifiers

    My first amp was a Marshall 2x12 combo. A valve state 100 watt something. It's so long ago I can barely remember how it sounded. Wasn't great. I then got a jcm 900 dual reverb with a matching 4x12 cab. Huge step up from the combo, but not close to getting me where I wanted (thrash/death...

    I always sleep with a fan ON all night long

    It is very common for people suffering from tinnitus to sleep with some sort of audio stimuli (eg.a fan for example) as a way to mask the tinnitus noise and make it easier to relax.
