nah Sany, Roope has never used EMG's in his jacksons, nowhere to be found on any pictures during his carreer, its something emg made up probably, all his jacksons same goes for alexi, has always been with Jackson equipment

Sounds good. I tried going Guitar>Axefx>gp1k>axefx to do some boosting/eq/distortion before the gp1k.
It works that way but there's a limit on how much of an actual db boost from the axe out you can do into the gp1k before it just clips the signal.
They say you can hook it up like that in the manual, but Idk if it messes with the impedance of the signal changing it to line lvl
It sounds a little better just going guitar>gp1k>axefx impulses, I'll try boosting it later with a tubescreamer I have.

Sorry for not thanking you sooner- cheers for giving me a demonstration mate
Yeah I notice the wah effect a little bit- especially on the second recording. It's not really as prominent as I thought it would be though- is that just the pickup without any effects apart from some distortion?
I only use a virtual Line 6 amp on my PC (amp head got wrecked by dooche friends beer) and have a wah set to the second input but turn the effect down so it is barely noticeable to try and imitate the J50 BC. I've improved my tone a fair bit since this video now it has more punch but this was just from the virtual amp with no post EQ-
I've improved the dryness of it and "ballsed" it up a little bit but really like this particular lead tone from Alexi:

That's what i'm after. The EMG is a bit noisy so I have to put a fair bit of noise gate on it which makes my playing cleaner but the tone a bit flat

Out of curiousity - anyone had a chance to compare, let's say "alexi's pickups", with SD Gus G. set? It is also passive pickup with preamp, and I think I might want to try it. While I don't think COB had ever a "ultimate tone of destiny" , I wonder if anyone had a chance to use this SD.

i actually have an edwards les paul (lp-92) with those gus g pickups. its basically a sd distortion with loads of more gain. these are absolutely amazing for soloing, super singful leads. the chords are super full. besides that as you can single coil the pickups you can have great cleans or that single coil malmsteen thing, however for me sounds different as i have a mahogany les paul obviously.

yeah totally, however the pickups have REALLY lots of gain, i use an engl e530 and i put the gain 10/11 o clock or something. however even with lots of gain youll hear every note of the chord, besides your chord will sound big (i think the fact that my guitar is a les paul, which has a very loud acoustic sound affects this a lot). i dig the pickups a lot.
i had a guitar with emgs 81 85 and i must say that rythm wise isnt that much better cuz i consider the 81 already an amazing metal rythm pickup, but youll hear the giant difference soloing. the 81 sounds steril, not much dynamic, and the gus pickups are like i said, singful super rich. it has the upper mids super present, and has lots of highs but not harsh at all. it really inspires you to compose
maybe the best soloing pickups i ever tried. i would really recommend them to someone who is lead guitarrist in a band, who wants to distinguish better.a bad thing in the pickups is that theyre a bit noisy, and the emg81 is super quiet.
