Emg 707s (i need some help with mine kind of...)

777 · 11-11-2007, 10:58 AM

right since i got these ...things.. in my 1527 ive been at a loss for any...well......feeling and virtuoso'ish midsy full tone, and i need someone to give me faith in these otherwise im gna rip em out and sell em for some DiMarzios and do that Foam Fill thing a memeber did with an M7 as there have ben no offers for trade 1527 for 1527

so basicly what i wana know is it the pups or my shitty amp i need to hear what emgs are capable of before i do anything rash , i dnt want loomis clips cz his rythm sounds a bit like a fart on all his utube vids or cooley cz ive herd it all before,

can these pups actually do anything???

EMGs are great, maybe your amp isnt

Cyanide_Anima · 11-11-2007, 02:18 PM

it says in your rig you have a fender amp? that isn't exactly going to give you bone rattling crunch. try using a boost in front of the amp, might help. fenders are rather clean amps, with kind of a scooped sound, so a eq in front would likely help as well.

ibznorange · 11-11-2007, 05:44 PM

eq and boost, as has been suggested.
i might actually suggest a big muff for a distortion, as the cleanliness of the emg's wont mud out through that. Fenders do not push. they are amazing clean amps, nothing beats an old fender reverb amp. but they have no crunchiez. The pope fears framus cobras, Mesa Triple Recs, and Engl Fireballs. The pope dont fear no fender.
Dont get me wrong, theres nothing wrong with needing extra push. My marshall needs it, otherwise i would never be able to get more crunch than eric clapton, but you cant expect not to give it the push if it needs it

i was thinkin of pickin up an X3 for xmas that coul rectify my situation?

Stitch · 11-11-2007, 07:13 PM

No....seriously dude. The 1527 is a grat guitar, EMG's or no.

You need to save up for a decent amp. Decent. Look at s/h 6505/5150's, etc. I'm not sure what your budget is, but at this stage, you need an amp that is of a similar quality to your guitar.

ibznorange · 11-12-2007, 12:29 AM

save your money. it would help, but keep that fender for groove tunes (biamping is the shit) and grab a used 5150 like stitchy here says. you can get em decently cheap, and those slay under the right settings

Alpo · 11-12-2007, 02:02 AM

The EMG's are fine, definitely not my first choice, but they're fine. You definitely need a more suitable amp. If you only play at home you could go with the Pod X3, but you will need a good pair of speakers/headphones to get great sounds. If you play/are going to play in a band, the you should consider a good tube amp.

wil the 6505 combo do a smooth virtuoso'ish lead?
