I have a Matched Pair of the Duncan EVH PUPs in a USA Wolfgang,
Duncan calls this pickup model 79 or Evenly Voiced Harmonics.

My neck is 7.93 ohms & bridge is 9.1 ohms these pickups are really versitile and sound great for everything, flat out these pickups rock.

Regards

Scott

Im keeping my eye open on ebay for one of those

tell me what you think.

actually here:
before i get to tweakin the amp i thought it might be kewl to hear the difference between les paul (shredder) and my strat (darkburst)at my current spec.

in the middle of the track you will hear me unplug and plug a guitar in - first is the les paul and then the strat.

i did one file with the effect i have been using and one dry.

Hate to tell you this. It ain't even close by a longshot. Sorry, you posted this for a reaction and there you have an honest one. NOT EVEN CLOSE. Even Ralle is missing quite a lot interms of dimension and harmonic detail, but these clips of yours are miles and miles away. My suggestion is to stop trying to copy Eddie Van Halen and try to do something more along the lines of old Pantera since that is more your playing style.

Ignore the troll. If he doesn't have the balls to log in, then he is not a man, but rather, a dog.

I think you've got the plexi sound happening, Mark. But here's some contructive criticism: make sure you meticulously tune your guitar. It was more than a little out of tune on most of those clips. And you need to do something about that hum. Make sure you turn your monitor off after you hit record, if you're not already. Those things make a guitar hum like a mutha'.
