    [Impulses] Why don't my tones sound the way they should?

    Hmm, I haven't played with that knob before. I read somewhere that that knob would not make a very big difference. I'll play with that knob a bit, thanks. Yes, but even trying to come up with my own tone just leaves me with a horrible thin sound that's just awful. :p I've been playing for a...

    Replacing my Ibanez's stock pickups

    My technique is just fine. If that were the problem, I wouldn't have created this thread. I'm not diving into anything, considering I'm getting your opinions and I'm also searching the internet for reviews and videos about EMGs. My first thought was the 85 because I read that it was a bridge...

    Replacing my Ibanez's stock pickups

    I see, thanks. So does that mean the active EMG 85 humbucker is solderless?

    [Impulses] Why don't my tones sound the way they should?

    Anyway, back to the subject. I always hear people talking about NRR-1 and about how great it sounds when combined with TS-999. So I figured I'd give it a shot. My chain was TS-999 -> NRR-1 -> keFIR (with different impulses for testing). I played around with the settings of both TS-999 and NRR-1...

    Replacing my Ibanez's stock pickups

    I actually have no idea what a solderless system is, and what's the difference between running it at 9V or at 18V? :p As you can see I have no understanding of pickups whatsoever.

    Thanks for the reply. :) So I've set my mind on a certain pickup. I opened a threat about it here: http://www.ultimatemetal.com/forum/equipment/774382-replacing-my-ibanezs-stock-pickups.html#post10244457 Would you mind checking that thread out? Thank you very much.

    Replacing my Ibanez's stock pickups

    Hi guys, So I'm thinking about getting an active EMG 85 humbucker. I've never replaced my pickups nor do I have any knowledge about pickups. Anyway, what I was wondering is if that pickup would fit into my guitar? My guitar is an Ibanez S770PB with INF1, INFS1 and INF2 pickups. Since the INF2...

    Thanks, but I'm not satisfied with it. Would you recommend changing the pickups? And what pickups would you recommend?

    My guitar is an Ibanez S770PB. I use the stock pickups, an INF1 pickup, an INFS1 pickup and an INF2 pickup. It goes into a Line 6 Pod Studio GX. Thanks for answering. :)

    [Impulses] Why don't my tones sound the way they should?

    Hi guys, I'm pretty new to this whole IR thing, but I'm trying. I've actually tried doing this a long time ago, but I had the same problem I'm running into right now, so I gave up. Me and a friend have decided to record some songs to try to find some more band members. That's why I decided to...
