When you put the middle "tone" control on zero it is off. And as you dial it higher you increase the bass/treble frequencies. When you put the bottom "tone" control on zero it is off. And as you dial it higher, you increase the midrange responses. Normal sound is when both tones are completely off. They both control all 3 pickups at once.
He uses a Les Paul on Another Brick in the Wall solo. But his Candy Apple Red Strat was indeed EMG DG20 - got it in 80s so anything before that for sure wasn't EMG but having seen him play this EMG live I can say he did play such tunes with it. Then went back to the black strat - then retired. The only reason I am considering these is because I put some EMGs in a cheap Jazz bass recently, no shielding - super noiseless. I got another Strat recently (SX SST57) and like all strats will require shielding - then I looked up if EMG make a scratchplate - they do ... and 11 hole pickguard looks close to SX spacing. It's that or I shield it and get some Ironstone DG scratchplate. What I understand about this system is it isn't as easy as front pickup, roll tones off, bring front up a tad and bell like Echoes sound. It's a mid boost and a humbucker emulator. So not quite sure what to do. These EMGs score big time when you get into distortion - not so good on clean IMHO. I mean super noiseless but just seems to be something missing.
@@BaldR68 I have Lace Sensor Golds in my Strat, they aren't muddy at all. I have an in depth demo on my channel, with many clean and distorted examples.
Hey... you should RTFM *before* making a video! Also... that old ElMistress is a bad tone sucker, I have one. Judge the pickups running the guitar straight into the amp, nothing in between. EMGs sound more "vintage" if you keep them low from the strings, not as suggested. The character is about high definition and just LOVE to be heavily processed! Those pickups are outstanding when processed thru a rack of cool units (Eventides, Lexicons, pro-gear) as they belong to that technology.
Agreed that middle is underrated. I try to use it for rhythm parts as much as possible.
Relax dude
Fuck yeah killed that intro!!!
Thats the delicate sound of thunder sound…

Im little suprized because there are no classic TONE pot in that set, you can just cut some frequencies.And they made my guitar sounds snappy as hell.
I'm considering a used E Johnson Fender strat with DG EMGs, thoughts please?
I don't think emg pickups were around when Floyd wrote the wall,I think he mainly uses them on tour,I wonder how these compare to lace sensors
Think twice buying lace sensors, very muddy and not very versatile

EMG pickups were around in 1976. the Wall is from 1979. But Gimour started using EMGs much later.
Same sound
Slow down dude - you’re running over
Rip gilmours phrasing
