I also had to use noise reduction plugin during post-production to get the single coil + amp buzz under control, which also affected the naturalness of the tone.

Members 1001gear Posted June 27, 2020 Members Share Posted June 27, 2020 If you raise the pickups you get better signal to noise. You trade off the clear sparkliness slightly is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GilmourD Posted June 27, 2020 Members Share Posted June 27, 2020 What pickups are those? Personally, I like the tone. I probably would raise the pickups up a TINY bit myself but that tone, compressor and all, has use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I also felt it was a bit thin. I liked the clean setting on the amp, hence didn’t change anything when the overdrive came in as I just kicked in the pedal. Should I turn down the ‘tone’ on the pedal or add another EQ pedal for the driven section? The amp is MAZ 18 MK II, the pedal is a TS clone (Demon Tube screamer).

Yeah, try turning the tone down on the OD a little bit and see how that helps. 7 hours ago, metalshred said: Yeah i was always worried about losing dynamics in the tone when pickups are raised I think your pickups are beyond the point where lowering them increases dynamic range, so you shouldn't lose any as you raise them.
