Forgive me if this sounds like an odd question for this board, but I've never owned an instrument with EMG's. I just bought a Les Paul off a local guy and it has EMG H4's. It's a Les Paul Classic. I did not try the guitar out before I bought it. That's no biggie. It was a fantastic deal and it included the original exposed coil Gibson's. I can always go back to those, I am very familiar with them.
I took it home today and I was expecting an absolute Metal machine but they came up short. I have a Blackface Dual Rectifier and really was hoping they would deliver. I've kind of been anti-EMG in the past, but really want to try and make them work. I honestly think they were installed wrong. The neck sounds great, bridge horrible.
Anyway, I want a pickup that hits the amp a little harder than normal, as I typically don't play super loud, I have an 8 Ohm THD Hotplate and choke the loudness down to about -8db.
Anyone using these with a similar amp? Tell me what you think of them and don't hold back. I've decided to turn this Les Paul into a Metal machine, I have other electrics for other styles of music like Blues, etc.
Here's a link to the exact model..
