.Hi there..I would like to upgrade my guitar with some really good pickups. Currently i am using a Peter Periera maid guitar with the Periera custom pickups. I am not quite happy with the distortion and would like to change the pickups. I would like to choose pickups that would suite all kind of genres mainly metal (Megadeth,Slayer,Metallica), grunge (Pearl Jam), Pink Floyd. Plz help me with which pickups to use for neck, bridge and central single coil thanks in advance..
do to websites of SeymourDuncan, Dimarzio, EMG n chk out the various pickups they have got....they have pickups to suit every style of playin n sound...chk the sound samples as well....
Your main issue is either with the amp or the pedal your using, not the pickups. Pickup changes make very little difference unless you're running a decent amp that has a good frequency response. What amp do you have?
hi Unet....here is the gear i am using Peter Periera Custom Guitar Body - Indian Alder Neck - Maple Fretboard - Rosewood Amp - Roland Cube 15x Processor - Boss ME 20
Okay....first of all, processor into a modeling amp is not a very good idea. The modeling tends to clash and that doesn't sound good. Try running your guitar straight to the amp and EQ it to see how it sounds. And see if you can get some nice distortion this way.
..thanks guyz...yup i did plug the guitar directly into ampli..n tried all sorts of EQ settings...bt didnt work..
