I have an EMG-85 in the bridge of an ESP/LTD EC-1000 and I can’t seem to remove some of the harshness associated with these pups when playing through my Triple Rec. The guitar sounds amazing through my other amps (i.e., Marshall), but much more brittle and harsh with the Triple Rec.
I love the guitar and amp but hate the marriage.
Any clues or hints on how to dial in a less “harsh” sound.
I’ve tried everything I can think of. My other guitars, with mostly Semour Duncan pups (e.g., Invader, Hot Rails,SB-1, SB-4) are fine and great. Every guitar needs to be EQ’d differently and everything turns out fine in the end.
I’m officially “knobbed-out,” and a little fed up at re-EQing over and over. I’m not a newbie and, on normal days, I seem to know what I am doing: but on this one I’m at a loss.
Help?
