Thanks dude so much!Bass 2 o'clock, treble 12 o'clock, and just add a little chorus. Another trick to get that bright sound is to pick close to the bridge, thats what James is doing too, its matters a lot!
I actually just got a epi explorer a couple months ago and wanted to swap out the pups for this set, how big of a difference did you notice between the het set and you're stocks ?
These are one of the best pickups dude I have ever had, before the JH set this guitar had Gibson pickups, but I like the EMG Het Set much more. The clean and dirty sound both are amazing!
