The Pickup Place / Mahogany body: EVO 2 vs Evolution
« on: February 23, 2018, 07:35:56 PM »
Hey guys. Do you think the EVO 2 is too warm / does not have enough treble for a mahogany body / wenge & ebony neck (kinda similar to mahogany + maple & rosewood)?
I like the cut to be pretty high in the EQ spectrum considering all the layers that I record. A JB's cut is too low - its more upper-mids with smooth highs. Sounds great for 1-2 guitar situations but not enough cut for 2-3 guitars + keys + strings/etc.
A good example of high end cut would be the Duncan Distortion but I do not like its general scratchy tone. Plus, I prefer Dimarzio's vocal half-cocked wah tone for leads.
So I was thinking either EVO 2 or Evolution. What are your guys thoughts? Any experiences? Is the EVO 2 bright enough in the highs or is it rather chopped / rolled off / smooth?
