Hi,
I'm recording tunes properly right now for my first real album, and was thinking about switching to active pickup cause I'm playing a gibson LP standard with stock pickup in Drop B tuning and it lacks a bit of clarity for such a low tuning, even if I like color of my sound.
I've seen 81X/85X are available since the last year and I hesitate to take them, or to take the usual 81/85 combo.
In fact, I don't know what to think about the X serie. You get more headroom and less mid, but to get a modern guitar sound sit in a mix, don't you need a compress and mid sound?
So, can you help me, sharing your thoughts and experiences?
Thank you!
(ps: the recording chain is: LP-Diezel Einstein-orange cab with V30- SM57+R-121 - chandler tg2 - Fatso - Lynx Aurora... A F****** set up!
ps2: style will be a mix of melodic death+electro+D'n'B)
