i have a few questions about your gear. Why did you put an EMG 85 in the bridge, when it was designed as a neck pickup. why not an emg 81? also, is your fender strat american or mexican. and if its american, you wasted a lot of money cause the raven half stack is a cheap solid state amp, so the tone of the strat is lost.
I have answers! I put an 85 in the bridge because the 81 is trebley, and in the bridge positions sounds thin and shrill to me. The 85 gives me a ton of low end and isn't shrill. My strat is mexican. And yes, the half stack is cheap, but maybe I like the tone, and in my opinion don't lose that much from it?
I just A/B ed your 2 Schisms, I gotta say, GOOD LAWD! I cant even imagine how amazing it sounds in person, YT cant even being to do this stuff justice, and it still sounds like ear secks. What are your EQ settings? Both on-board and amp
Sure you are. Anyways, I love it. You'd be surprised, you'd think the emg would make it more distorted, yeah? But I can turn it down lower than before, and lose even more distortion before losing all volume.
so your running two amps? haha, adam jones is the only reason i ev,er did that tho lol. hes so the man! i run two combo amps out of my me-50's distortion and run similar settings, but on my tool settings i crank the mid on one of the amps, cause adam cranks the mid on his vh4 blueface, idk about his marshall or his other vh4 tho. probably mid scoops.
Good cover! And yay Opeth & Tool. Keep it Real

Also, I don't plan on having this amp forever. Therefore it doesn't matter if my strat cost $300 or $3000.
