My rig is pretty much done except for trying to sell/trade some stuff so...
Here it is:
RM100KH with KH-1, 1086, and KH-3 and ENGL 4x12 cab with 4 vintage 30s
Guitars: Jackson RR1 loaded with Dimarzio D activators tuned to E standard, ESP LTD FX-400 with Emg81/60 tuned to E flat, and a Jackson JS30 with Emg81/85 wired at 18 volts tuned to C standard.
Effects: 535q crybaby, mxr phase 90, and MXR 10 band eq in the series loop.
All in all I'm alright with that, but the KH-1 seems to add gain when I used my Emg's, especially the 18 volts in c standard. Does the order that my modules are in affect the gain? Would the KH-1 be cleaner in another slot or are the pickups too hot to keep it clean? The passive Dimarzios don't have a problem with it.
Also I wanted to maybe put the EMG 81/81 combo or another active set in my RR1, but I don't want to sacrifice a decent clean tone.
I have also noticed that without my EQ engaged, the modules themselves aren't that clear or particularly good, so does anyone have any settings for either modules for a heavy Metallica ...And Justice for All tone, or a lighter Maiden type tone?
I play metal of course so I was wondering if any little changes would help my tone.
Thanks guys
EDIT: I just realized this probably should be in the Rigs and Tones section, but I was originally just going to ask about the KH-1.
