Tokai LS-70 with EMG 81/85 into Engl Ritchie Blackmore head and V30 4x12 cabinet

Playing some riffs to check out the new pickups.
No effects, Strings are 13-gauge in standard D-tuning.
Don't mind the camera angle, there's nothing worth seeing from neck up.

terve :D mä oon ite ajatellu et ostan tokain les paulin, ite tykkään tommosesta death/black/thrash kamasta mutta harjoittelukitaraksi ainakin aion hankkia, suositteletko? mistä ostit?

@Rektivalle Moro! LAhden keskusmusiikista ostin 800€, mutta muusikoiden netistä kannattaa katsoa! Todella luotettava kitara ollut, mutta jäänyt nurkkaan kun on nykyään 7-kieliset kepit pääsoittimina. Ei tosiaan tunnu kopiolta vaan ihan LESPALTA :O Mikit varmaan kannattaa vaihtaa, EMG:t on hyvät, mutta aikaisemmin tallamikkinä ollut Seymour Duncan Distortion oli muistaakseni aggressiivisempi. Alkuperäiset mikitkin on varmaan ok, ei vaan oma ego ja kama-addiktio antanut myöten niihin tyytymistä.

What pedals are you using?

[anttilepardi]

@DuskHermit No pedals in the video, but currently I use G-lab GSC-1 for channel and pedal loop switching and controlling midi effects in the amp's effects loop. I use Boss NS-2 noise suppressor and TU-2 tuner. I'm planning on getting something like Damage Control Glass Nexus for effects.

hey man! did you make something special for the installation of emgs? I want to put one 81 on my tokai and I dont know if i have to make any hole or something. I would like if you can help me

@Golfinnder

Hi, in my guitar there is no extra holes or anything. The battery is in the same space with the pots inside a piece of foam. I'll remind you that you can't use passive and active pickups in a same setup. Also the active set needs its own pots and a stereo jack to prevent the battery from being drained when the guitar is unplugged. There's also a passive EMG-hz if you'd like that sort of sound and be able to use the passive pickup as well.

are the EMG pickups were the original pickups of the guitar?

[XESexperience]

Very good demo of the tone!!! Good playing, thanks, keep it up!!

@anttilepardi OK, katson muus.netistä mutta ajattelin ostaa skitan musamaailmasta.,.,. mikkien vaihtoa lykkään varmaa myöhemmäksi, mutta teen varmaa jossain vaiheessa
