Im looking at Dimarzio X2N, the pups that Chuck Schuldiner used, to get a nice old school sounding death metal ala Death Spiritual Healing. Well my main problem is my amp. Its not bad by any means but if im going to drop some high gained pickup on my guitar, can a solid state amp handle it? I have a Crate 65r btw. Nothing special. Clean, rhythm, lead channel. Any help on this would be nice or high pup recomendation w/o it beeing active. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick. Plus all our lessons are packed with free content!

As for your amp.Dude i dont see why you would have a problem with it.It doesnt matter that its solid state and not tube Some will disagree the Tube maniacs' but really if your guitar sounded ok with the Crate now it wil just sound 10 times better with the new high end model humbucker's.I'm not familier with the exact amp you use,although i have had 4 or 5 crate amps so far (all solid state) 2 amp head's and the rest amps which i think are similer to your's.I really liked them all except one amp head from the 80's but it wont cause you a problem im sure.

The heaviest in the range is the Warpig and that is really heavy judging by the sound clips. My next guitar which I am building will have a pair of ceramic magnet Warpigs.

Any change of guitar, pickups or amp will alter the sound, to a different extent depending on which you change of course. You are at GuitarMasterClass.net Don't miss today's free lick.
