Excellent vid! I really wanna use this pup in the bridge position of a custom guitar with humbucker-single-humbucker. In the middle, I wanna put the FS-1 in the middle position, and a clean, warm pup (like the Humbucker from hell) in the neck. Any recommendations? And what type of tone pot would best complement these pups?

Thanks for the advice, and keep up the awesome work ^_^

@MegashadX Thanks a lot for the appreciation bro. Moving on to your question, I really like your pickup choices but i would target for a slightly brighter pickup in the middle and a slightly darker one in the neck. The FS-1 is a good pickup but as I have not personally used it, i cannot say much. I did however, use the dimarzio Area 58's in conjunction with an X2N. They sound magical when they are mixed. Just dont buy the hype of ppl saying that you shouldnt match hot pickups with cool ones.

Nice vid! however i was wondering which of the following would be best for high gain riffing and soloing :

Dimarzio X2N and PAF pro

EMG 81/60

Seymour duncan JB and Jazz

Any opinions?

[TFKofBD]

I dont know much about Actives so there is no opinion about the EMG's. But I would steer clear from the JB if you dont bend too much and dont pinch a lot :P

Just my opinion. I know this can vary

Says another filipino dumbass that is probably using a PC ina cyber cafe with his monthly allowance.

don't need to bee "tinkering type" to bluid a active EQ... you just have to know what you are doing (i'm not, never build a piece of circuit EVER)

but i don't want a active system on my guitar, i like all passive, because my guitar it's incredible well build, nice wood, excelent hardware and tuning, so ... i will NEVER put an active circuit on it...

@metallica5252 Yeah, dude, got it. It's been nearly a year since I posted those stupid comments. I know it can get good cleans.

[metallica5252]

@CyValkarion dude no...x2n are perfectly fine with clean sounds as long as you are able to split the coil. I have mine on my RG with a 5 way switch and whenever I split the coil the clean sound is amazing.

@ExplodeEd 85/60 emg...for real...85 is great in the bridge. 60 is great for the neck.If you want Duncans, I would go with a Custom Custom (B) and a 59 in the neck. If you want really good active, Blackouts are much better than EMGS, but thats only my opinion.

@CyValkarion It's not a B.C. Rich. Your argument is invalid.

[WutangClan4LiF3]

@TFKofBD man nice videos and playing etc thanks. Let me ask you i got the Ibanez 170DX . You said that tapping " gets easier " with this Pickup X2n right? I should buy one?

[CyValkarion]

If that's a B.C. Rich, this demo is invalid... This wasn't all that "In depth" either. YOu didn't show it to use with the guitar volume rolled back on each channel... Anyways, the X2N is NOT for clean sounds. It's fantastic for balls out distortion, but otherwise it's a pretty limited pickup. I wouldn't have very many applications for this pup. Personally the hottest pickup I would use is a D Activator. The Super Distortion is perfect, IMO.

Nice rc planes you've got back there !
