The Pickup Place / Re: An Injector Bridge model for an Yngwie tone?
« on: January 20, 2019, 03:41:08 AM »I'm using some presets on my POD HD Pro X which pretty much give me the Yngwie tone. I have tried the Virtual Vintage Heavy Blues 2 but what I noticed about that pickup is it sounds like sandpaper. It has kind of a raspy, abrasive tone which leaves me scratching my head.
I was thinking of trying the Injector Bridge. Never owned one of those.
Do you think that would keep me in the ballpark for Yngwie tones? I don't want to sound like Paul Gilbert.
Malmsteen helped develop the Injectors before jumping ships to Duncan afaik he never really played them. I do know he played HS3, HS4 and FS1 models. In turn, Gilbert did use Injectors and at a certain time, he developed his own sound around these pickups.
If you have Furys, then you basically got Yngwie's sound, all the DMZs he used will get you some of his tones as well. I have a mexican strat with 3x FS1 and have no trouble getting Yngwie sound, so it's definitely true that - like the gentleman before me said - his tones aren't so picky about the pickup, it's more in his amps which he dimes out and obviously his hands.
