HOLY HELL!! I hope your chops are tight because the clarity is AMAZING!!!! I play out of a marshall AVT 50 which is pretty much crap, and I could make it do these great tones and sustain for days!! It's a bitch fitting the batteries in there ( I have them stradling the tone pot) but it sounds amazing. i did a whole experiment. I took my ibanez rg4exqm which has high output passive pickups. then I took my jackson rhoads that has an unmodded Zakk Wylde EMG set, and then my vendetta with the modded EMG set. The vendetta won hands down and this was a 2 hour test!! I'm gonna mod the rhoads the same way next week and get the same set up fpr the nez next month, IT PWNS!!!
