Axe-Master
Howdy:
I'm thinking of purchasing a lefty Carvin DC400, CT6 or DC127 (Carvin is one the few manufacturers that will make leftys in any kind of variety). Anyway, does anyone here have experience with Carvin's active electronics? As I understand - these are not active pickups, but rather, there is a small pre-amp (not sure if it's before or after the pickups) which allows you to boost either hi or low frequency output.
I currently have a Jackson DK2 which has a Duncan Invader in it and sounds unbelievable dark (bad move on my part to install this pickup). To compensate I put an AxeFx EQ at the front of my chain with appropriate settings to subdue the lows and boost the highs coming in from my Jackson. So - I'm thinking of passing on the Carvin active electronics since I've had fairly good success so far in re-eq'ing guitar output using the Axe - unless I find some info somewhere that indicates there's more to Carvin's active electronics that meets the eye (ear).
Any opinions?
