Hello guys,
I would need some advices about which amp to get for my RG1527.
I have the choice between a Peavey 5150 II or an Engl Blackmore.
I play mostly progressive metal, and I need a good hi gain sound, that can be clear and precise when I pick the strings.
I have still stock pickups on the guitar.
I tried a mesa boogie dual rectifier, and I have to say it was quite messy, buzzy and horrible sounding (worse than my Line 6 Spider III).
Moreover, I would like to know what pickups should I get if I change them to sound better with a head amp (I want to get some Dimarzio 7).
Thanks!
