i'm aiming for an amon amarthish tone with a gibson x-plorer, does anyone know what pickups they use, or how emg 81+85 w/afterburner would compare to dimarzio stuff, or duncan livewires, livewire classic+livewire metal. i know that individual tone preference is ultimately the deciding factor, but if someone could liken the sound i'd get from any of the above, or a combination, to an existing band i'd appreciate it. while the manufacturers do post artists using certain pickups death and black metal bands rarely appear amongst them.
