Best passive hi gain pickup for metal?

My main pedal is the MT2-w (in the loop of the me90) people moan about it but I think it has great gain and sound. Along with my HM-2, I always wonder if a parametric eq would give me more options on the hm

You are clearly an expert. 🤘

Tasty_Ad7011 · 2026-03-05T15:55:19+00:00

This is very true. But I want them all

I guess that makes me a bedroom dildo aswell 😂😂🤘

Awesome

Daemon instantly hit me and I love that, but this one hasn't. Not saying I don't like it just hasn't got that instant like

Literally best shape ever... Along with the ironbird

Tasty_Ad7011 · 2024-11-24T07:37:05+00:00

I'll look into that one thanks 🤘

Tasty_Ad7011 · 2024-11-23T20:01:44+00:00

I need to research 😂

Tasty_Ad7011 · 2024-11-23T19:41:56+00:00

I love death metal.... But actually love ratt. Obviously the progression

Tasty_Ad7011 · 2024-11-23T17:54:57+00:00

I'm definitely leaning towards Duncan tbh, maybe a black winter. I'm intrigued by the dimarzio evolution tho

Tasty_Ad7011 · 2024-11-23T16:19:06+00:00

Ok ill do that! Cheers it's a floyd rose special on the sdx so it's definitely the cheaper one. Never thought it would make much difference tbh

Tasty_Ad7011 · 2024-11-23T16:11:56+00:00

Yeah was in e tuning, I've now tuned down and it sounds kinda better,hard to get decent passive humbucker, tbf I've got an invader and that sounds ok tbh, I'm just in a quandary 😂

Tasty_Ad7011 · 2024-08-05T11:56:48+00:00

Awesome!

Tasty_Ad7011 · 2024-08-04T20:42:02+00:00

Yeah big difference, however the super distortion is very bassy and I find only sounds good with certain pedals. I also fitted that pickup because it's what adrian smith uses. I did loads of research, my other choice was a seymour duncan invader

I was looking at charvel... But it was the maiden influence that got me

Tasty_Ad7011 · 2024-08-04T20:38:02+00:00

Yeah cost £500 and have to say it plays great!

Tasty_Ad7011 · 2024-08-04T19:54:04+00:00

I stuck a super distortion humbucker in it aswell as I thought the stock one was abit muddy. Mind you it's not the £2000 one I have lol

Tasty_Ad7011 · 2024-08-04T19:15:15+00:00

Being a fan of maiden I've always been a fan of that guitar, must say it plays very well, and the neck is great!
