  • Pickups that enhance pinch harmonics........

    Hey guys,any of you notice a difference in getting pinch harmonics with different pu combos?Have you found any that make them easier than others? I seem to make them jump with the EMG,but how about a passive pu?Just curious to what you guys have found,likes and dislikes.Discuss!.........

    I've got a duncan distortion and I get the same easy pinch harmonics with that as I do with the emg's I had.

        Yes, EMG's do it well. I found a Dimarzio Super 3 to work for a passive pickup

                I have Duncan Designed pups and EMG-HZ's, and I can only get a decent pinched harmonic when switched to bridge pup mode on either guitar.

                      In my experience it's more about gain than pickups. More crunch, more squeal!
                      I feel festive all year round. Deal with it.

                        I personally do not care how it was built as long as it is a good playing/sounding instrument.

                          Any pickup will work, it's more a technique then equipment.

                            Well, no, it's equipment, too. It helps to have high gain, as well as the right EQ. If it's too dark sounding, it seems harder, and easier with a tone that has a crispy top end. If you have weak pickups, it tends to be a bit more difficult, too.

                              +1. More gain makes the harmonics jump out.
