I wanted to run this by other folks here to see if they've experienced anything similar. I've been a die-hard EMG>Rectoverb>4x12 progessive/death metal player for a long time now. I recently picked up a Gibson SG Faded with 490r/490t stock pickups, which I intended to use with a Fender Hot Rod Deville for another band I'm playing with. For the hell of it, I decided to see what the SG would do through my recto. I was honestly blown away ... I get a great Angus Young-thing happening with the gain around 10-noon, and by 3:00, there's enough gain to shred without losing the whole biting-spanking-whatever you call it attack. I'm thinking this might be my sound from now on. Anybody else use these (or similar) pickups for metal?
