Hi there,

Ive searching a lot on this forum but i still dont have the answer to my question. I got for a year a Schecter Hellraiser c-7 & i just received my new Blackout humbucker. I did the easy quick installation using the plug & play option, not wiring the cable & not changing pots or solding anything. My big surprise, my guitar sound is still poor as it was with the EMG 707. When my other guitar that also have a blackout ( a 6 string one) sound very good !

Do i really need to change the pots for the blackout on my schecter ? is this going to improve the sound ?

The guitar sound like there is a lack of gain/distortion on it.

Changing only one pot would help ?

Help !

cheers
Anibal

You shouldnt have to change the pots but if it sounded like it was wired poorly before then it will still sound that way. Any loose connections in the soldering job?

Try changing your battery, especially since you've been using it for a year.
