Who's playing metal with a Duncan Screamin' Demon through a high-gain amp?

The guys on the Duncan forum are steering me toward the Alt 8 or Parallel Axis Distortion, both which should have a smoother high end than a regular Distortion (which I don't like due to harsh trebles), and tighter lows than the Screamin' Demon. I still wouldn't rule out another Invader.

also keep an eye on the Super 3, rolled off highs, Tight low and strong midrange, with enough output

Hmm, EMG 81's sound shrill in most guitars, your guitar hasn't accidentally been made of concrete now has it?

Not as far as you know.

that guitar is the strangest thing ever. all of my guitar buddies agree, its the strangest sounding guitar they have ever heard.

The EMG81 in my RR24M sounds organic, most unlikely for an EMG.

same situation as my guitar. it sounds "normal".

The Demon blows. It's not a high gain p'up - more of a muddy mess. I just don't know what it would really be good for. I've tried it through many amps. Nothing sounded good.

The Full Shred is everything the Demon wishes it could be. I've had the Demon in three guitars, and hated it in every single one.

funny you say that, remember the blue ST-3 i sold you then bought back. that had/has a demon in it, & i think it sounded great. tho its a very early possibly custom pickup since the sticker on the back of the pickup is hand written and says "screamin demon" on it, no model#s or anything else. Its the only screamin demon ive tried & i like it alot.

I don't think so. The SD has a set of allen screws, and a set of standard. I don't think that one did. I'll have to dig and see if I have pics somewhere, but it seems to me it was some kind of Dimarzio.

Chris its got black allen keys & set of standard poles, it is labelled as a "demon" on the back hand written....early custom version?

all the Scremin Demons I have have the black allen screws on the inner bobbin and flat heads on the outer.
