how you like the Suhr Doug Aldrich pickup??? are they better than emgs 81/85 and bare knuckles?? for metal.. thanks

[xykhron]

@tc8849 My fav PUs are Bare Knuckle because their definition and mid frecuency & intensity. The Suhr DA worked very very well on a EBMM Petrucci (basswood body) being one of the best sounds I ever achieved but not as much on a Caparison Angelus (mahogany body) sounding a bit muddy. About EMGs: I don't like them as much as passive electronics, but for some kind of guitars and metal styles I think they work better than Suhrs

Great, Mesa could not duplicate this tone.

@xykhron NO problem man, thanks for your time and all the informations

[xykhron]

@Korneo54 I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'm unable to find it, sorry :-(

[Korneo54]

@xykhron I wait for it =). Please, tell me you don't have put the bill of your technician in the garbage^^. Last night, I've buy a ECC83 Philips Miniwatt from Holland, it's hard to find this type of NOS tubes ^^

[xykhron]

@xykhron Hi, yeah, the Phillips is V1. All the preamp tubes were replaced, but this is the only one I can remember, sorry. I'm gonna search in my files if I can find where the Hell I put the bill of the technician in where the description of the tubes were written.

Thanks for the kind words, you're welcome!

@xykhron Thank you very much ! I've the 4x12 Rectifier. I gonna try the 4x12 Roadking if I can ;-). Thank you for the ECC83, you've got this one on V1 or other position ? This only tube give you this crazy sound ??? the other 12ax was the original tubes ? You're really a nice man =D

[xykhron]

@Korneo54 Hi man!. It's a ECC83 Philips Miniwatt (origin: Holland). Besides the preamp tubes, the sound comes alive due the cabinet: the 4x12 Mesa Roadking. Gives clearer, thighter and more balanced sound than 4x12 Mesa Rectifier. It's one of the best I've tried, and believe me that I tried a lot of gear (I'm a poor guitar player that loves trying new gear). Give it a try if you can!
