STAR CHILD Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Hey guy's, i have a question for you all out there? Is there anything I can do to stop my pickups from squealing so bad? I have a new set of Seymour Duncan Seth Lover pickups installed in my Les Paul Custom 68 reissue. The amp I have is a Marshall JVM 100 watt half stack. The pickups really sound awesome, great vintage tone, but when i turn the volume up, these pickups want to sqeal or feedback? I know I could get get them wax potted, but wouldn't that take away from the pickups tone? Are thereany other options to check out here? Thanks so much for everyones help!

Searcy Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Set lovers and 100 watt marshalls don't mix very well. If you're dead set against wax potting them you can invest in a good, high end noise gate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

surfpup Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Yes... your choices are: Have someone competent pot the Seth Lovers in wax for you Replace with a set of pickups that is wax potted already Use a lot less gain on the amp (or stand very far away from it). Have you removed the covers? That can help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AXE® Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Pardon the text in the picture. But, a piece of foam under the pickups wil greatly reduce the microphonics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
