Weird, because I can't hear it when he plays. When I compare his tone with mine or Mitch's tone I would say it's barely hearable.
When I play at home you can deff hear it.
Alexi uses the MM-04 still, not the ABQ.(at least that's what all his sig models come with, and all his live photos still have the switch for it)...prob why you don't hear it when he plays.

He's got the switch because otherwise he would have a hole in his guitar but the MM-04 should do the same thing. Again a short sample of my Je-1000. You can clearly hear the wah-effect wheras I coudn't hear any wah from the ABQ. (Excuse my sloppy playing. I just recorded some random stuff) http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2960894/je test_Abmischung.mp3
I'm telling you when I play it at home it does have a wah sound to it.
Do you actually get to play one or just judging by what you heard from the EMG demo video?
MMV - did you start making those already? I knew you said you were going to but it would be a few weeks.

i can see myself buying one if you can get it up ebay or somthing to make it more offical and easier to buy it. i would use paypal anyway. i have a j-50bc so why not finshish the complete project.
and to the rest of the guys i want to say thank you. if i dont get a je 1000 ill just get a emg alx. question if the black tap stuff? around the pickup has some age cracks is that bad? the guy i got it from says it was just comestics. im a newb to pickup condition.
also you guys think that hes using a different setup with his new pickup becuase when i whatch some there vids that are live from 2010 his sound is different from back in older the days. if so wouldnt that contribute in canceling the wah effect?

Yeah can hear it at the beginning because he's using a wah effect but at the end when he didn't use any effects you can't hear it. It's not to compare with the Je-1000. Again - check out his tone or even Alexis tone in this EMG video and compare it with mine or Mitchs...
theres a clear wah affect. i also like how its sharp to. did you use the gain boost or is that just ouput of the pickup itself?

Probably monday it will be in eBay. I have to wait to link and confirm my credit card to PayPal first, or something like that.

Dude, are you using the J-50BC with that? And what do you think, could I get the same tone out with J-80C?
Hey everyone, I'm new here!
So anyway I ordered the EMG ALX and was wondering if anyone could try the 1.22kHz setting on the ABQ. I read on some old topic here that it was supposed to sound more Bodom-y than the alleged factory signature setting.
You can set the ABQ to 1.22 if you flick the first and second switch down and the third one up.
I'd appreciate it if someone could record some samples of the default and 1.22 setting just to hold me over the next few weeks when I finally get my hands on it and install it on my Ibanez RGR321EX. Great guitar, but the stock bridge pickup sounds poopy.
Thanks. Great forum by the way.

Flicking the 1st and second switch down is what EMG says to use to get Alexi's sound....1.38KHz
To get 1.22KHz you need all 3 switches down
