soemthings wrong ( i guess... )

hey guys, i have installed a humbucker from hell on a neck of my RG550 and a tonezone for the bridge, i havent heard the tonezone with my own ears live.. ive seen em on videos and stuff.

i wonder what sound does it produce?

i find my humbucker from hell is quite acoustic like sound.. and the tonezone, with my DS-1 i couldnt get this kick ass tone i thought i'd be getting.

thanks

what kind of tone did you think you would get?
and could it be the pedal thats not giving you the tone you want?

The tone zone is a finnicky pickup. You can't have it too close to the strings. I'd also double check the wiring.

do you guys have the wiring for it?

thanks

i was thinkin of gettin this heavy distorted tone, but i find it really dry with DS-1, that might be possible

thanks

I should also mention that a DS-1 isn't exactly known for it's heavy distorted tone. Have you tried your guitar using a different amp/distortion pedal?

[spkenn5]

not yet but i am going to try a metalmuff let's see how this will sound

Try line 6's uber metal Kenji

Well, if you thought you were going to get some high gain metal sound from a Humbucker From Hell, think again. The name is misleading, as the HFH was designed to be acoustic like you said, similar to a single-coil pickup.

yeah i knew that, guys do you have a wiring schematic for tonezone? i think i wired it wrong

[erikm5150]

go to ibanez.com/wiring and look at the diagrams for jems or pgms

click on hi-fi, Rhytm is ToneZone and Lead is Humbucker From Hell, these two were recorded straight out of an amp drive. does your TZ and HFH sound like this?

PS: Dont mind about the playing.. I SUCK!

Thanks

Wow that Tone Zone Rhytm sounded really sucky. I did not know Tone Zone can sound like that. Your distortion sounded like the speakers that was broken into. Maybe you should use a better amp with it.
