Okay then where can I buy the ones that make me a better guitarist?Identify what you feel you're missing that a new pickup will add, then start looking at pickups known to do whatever that is.
Otherwise you'll end up with an endless worry that something else might be better.
Yes, he’s released three albums since 2019, group name “Merrow”Awesome player Keith Merrow. Has he released anything since Conquering Dystopia?
That is an interesting observation. I have noticed when I am playing for fun or writing, I use big, full-spectrum tones, but when I go to record, I start dialing out top and bottom pretty quickly to get the guitar to sit in the mix (either via track EQ or by adjusting the tone as I go). I wonder if some his and others' frequent use of the cab High and Low Cuts is about maintaining presets that are gig- or studio- ready for their needs...?His extreme low and high cuts drive me nuts and that's the only quip I have to make about the Lord Of Faces.
Leon stop cutting out all the bass!
I was saying that because I have 20 guitars here with different pickups in each ones, and with the same preset you don’t have a night/day feel, specially in a mix or in a recording . You won’t say : oh this one is the tone zone ! Etc ... ok some of them are tighter, darker (the sh4 in my jagstang is pretty dark for ex, i never really like Seymour, I’m a di marzio Guy first and like the emg too) . I had fun doing extreme metal cover with single coils in many videos after all these « you need those pickups to do metal « . You do metal with whatever guitar if you play the song well .As someone who has never dabbled in aftermarket pickups, I wonder which one I should trust. I would think that Ola has way more experience especially with tone and mixing.
I just cringe when he goes "and let's just cut everything under 100hz. Perfect!" hehe.
When I load @2112's patches, I find them to not have enough low end, but otherwise great. I think he tunes to Drop C vs me at Drop D, so that may have something to do with it.I love low end and fizz, maybe that's weird. Generally I record full bandwidth and only cut to fit in a mix but I've never had to cut 100hz+ from a guitar. Mud is usually 200hz - 250hz so I might dip there and if it's an Uberschall or Recto I might use a multiband comp to tame the trailing 12db low end woooooomp.
Not that I'm in any position to complain about Leon's awesome youtube vids! I just cringe when he goes "and let's just cut everything under 100hz. Perfect!" hehe.
Is tomorrow the Cygnus release day ?

I don’t think they will know that they are the stock pickups of a USA tele std if they were no image ( i ve sold this guitar but it was nice)
He's all about the mids...no trebles or bass....You guys are funny.
Obviously Leon is gonna sound different on the same preset than anyone else. He sounds like Leon on all his guitars, even the YJM strat, which is quite a feat.
His extreme low and high cuts drive me nuts and that's the only quip I have to make about the Lord Of Faces.

BTW much love.
I do it for everything below 20hz to cut inaudible frequencies from contributing to overall mix levels.Yep, and I understand that some engineers will hi-pass every guitar track at 100Hz (or wherever) as a matter of philosophy, and I could see being piqued about that in certain situations.
Tanxs! Sounds great through 15.x, but have not played it on Cygnus yet. Moving is the task that never ends....sexy !
Maybe I miss the part or dont see his cut in the preset . If I remember he was the one who cut at ...500? I do cut 80/12k most of the time , but ... 500?He's all about the mids...no trebles or bass....
That cut is in the amp block input eq, not the cab block hi/low cuts, and only on the Cygnus Friedman HBE V3 that I know of.Maybe I miss the part or dont see his cut in the preset . If I remember he was the one who cut at ...500? I do cut 80/12k most of the time , but ... 500?
Why not then . Everyone got their tastes
If he had these cut out of the preset, now I understand the sound difference
