Thanks! It plays like a dream, it's made me look at EMG's in a completely different light.

Some love em, some hate em..  I've never been a big fan of active PUs for guitar but then others like them allot.  I think they are popular for really high gain stuff as they are quiet, low microphonics and very articulate so you can hear each note even with full on distortion, also good for guitars tuned down a tone or 2.  Also I haven't tried the more modern EMGs, just the early ones when they first came out. So I'm sure they've got better over the years.

I was completely against active pickups, I grabbed that guitar because I knew if I liked the way it played I could order one with Duncans. But after plugging it in I was surprised at how well it sounded and bought it. I don't see myself putting EMG's in my other guitars though, I like passive pups too much.

Here is my tiny Rig.

The Charvel is equipped with Seymour Duncans Livewire-Metal. 18V-Active-PUs. Some serious Gain-Beasts. Unfortunately, No Chance to get a clean Sound from these  :-\
I've bought this guitar without knowing that the equipped PUs were Active. I do  not like Active Pus either, but now it is pretty cool for controlled feedback and Gain-Overload  >:D


Awesome Pedal-Selection, Primal  :thumb-up: Love the Flashback!

One of the great things about building a rig is how it comes together over time, I think if I would have bought the rig I have all at once I wouldn't appreciate it as much as I do. You've got a nice rack there, I can't wait to start working on my rack.

Thanks for the complements, I'm really digging my board at the moment, the Flashback is actually my newest addition to the board, I can't believe I waited this long to get one!

I only got a MXR-Black Label Chorus behind the Rack. Just love the subtle Chorus. It is always on and in the signal path ^.^

But I also plan to get a nice boost and a midi looper  :thumb-up:

I like the Analog Chorus, and I struggle with wanting to keep it turned on. It's always a internal discussion of weather I like my tone with it always on or off!

I hear you! I run a chorus on about 90% of the time. It adds a "fullness" to the tone that I really like.

Wow so 4 different preamp going into 4 different fx units. Any reason why 4 preamps? And 4 fx units?

Agreed, when I'm jamming with the guys I'm usually the only guitar player so a chorus helps me get a wider sound.

Chorus is Love! Chorus is Life  ;D
Along with a bit of Phasing and maybe a bit shimmer-Reverb. Coming after the ADAs Sound. Just gorgeous.

This is some Huge Rack, Soloist. I agree with MJMP, especially why 4 different FX-Units?

I really like a nice, slow phase. If the Strymon Lex wasn't so damn expensive I'd have one of those on my board too, those slow, distorted Leslie sounds are eerie and I love them!

I've been looking into the A/DA PBF flanger to add to my board as well.
