Afterburner

The Afterburner is a good upgrade if you have an amp that has a kind of dull distortion. On some amps, on clean channels it gives you a "chicken picking" tone that is nice if you are a soloist or lead player of rock. If you are unfortunate like me and your picks are wired over your tone pot instead of your volume pot don't give up on using the Afterburner just wiring it in like you normally would(if you are not looking to cut a whole in the body of your guitar). Overall the Afterburner is a good product and Emg is a good company.

I have an afterburner in my ESP along with EMG HZs. The afterburner makes a world of a difference and frankly is the only reason the HZs sound good. The afterburner is superb for solos and great distortion. There is no need for a overdrive pedal with this pupppy. All in all great for metal.
