The EMG's weren't sounding as good as they do in my 7... so I decided to try a new neck pickup and go back to the tried and true Custom I loved before. Now I remember why I loved it so much! It records very very well, too!

from : localhost/clips of the Full Shred yet, but it's a keeper.

Love The Custom It HaS A Great Cutting Tone....

Highs sound a little shrill to me but rhythm tone is winnar.

It's not fair how much more realistic leads sound with the pod then the vamp though. Must... have...

Hehe... give me another month and I'll be tracking with the 5150.

duncan custom = mucho

You big jerk. Way to rub your superior metal tone awesomeness all in my face

On an unrelated note I think my band may now have a bassist, so I'm gonna have to improve my tone somehow if I expect to hear myself!

ahahahahaha

Yes. The 81 didn't have enough balls for me in the low end, and the 85 wasn't articulate enough. I need an 83! That's what my 707's are, and they're perfect. I'm sticking with the Custom... I like the low end growl of the 707's better, but I'm not quite sure on routing the 6 string out for them just yet.

I think the quot;harshquot; high end is really the POD...I love them direct for chording and riffing but they ALWAYS sound shrill and gltichy for leads, IMO..thats where they falter...

Custom sounds great bro. It's my fave hard rock , Duncan...I've had em in quite a few guitars...

You want some serious metal chunk? put one in an Explorer....ebony board, rosewood board..doesn't matter...that's just a perfect tight riffing/chugga chugga combo.

Did you ever get around to trying the Steve's Special pickup?

You're making me want to swap out my Invader for a custom even more.

Rock On Bro!

I'm tellin ya bro...try the alnico 8 some day. You'll dig .

I actually don't think the high end is harsh at all; but to each his own.Originally Posted by Hames JetfieldDid you ever get around to trying the Steve's Special pickup?Nope; I have a feeling it'd be way too scooped for me, anyhow.
Jeff, it sounds quite crushing in this Mahogany body/set maple neck Schecter; I can only imagine it in a nice slab like an Explorer or Les Paul.

I've got another clip with the leads sounding much better, check it out!

sounds just like the pantera tune ........just fatter !!!
i see you scooped the mids on the gain channel of the pod to get that dimebag sound.
which amp model was that?
or am i wrong?
maybe thats the perception of bright highs.

this song don´t play it complete
just the first riff and it gets silence until the end of the file
something is wrong NO?

I always scoop my mids a bit. I've since updated the settings, though. I've gotten better tones out of it. This was a Dual Recto model.WFD; the song isn't incomplete. I did the intro, the little slide bit, and back to the intro which ended with a little B-G-F#-E chord thing to end it. I think the version I uploaded may have had silence on the end do to a bad setting when I mixed it down to MP3 from Nuendo, but the file is not incomplete. The actual playing bit is only about 30 seconds long, IIRC. Also, I don't think the drums or slide riff are right; I did it by memory.
