The most comfortable 8 string i have EVER played, period.
My woman gave me one for my birthday. A slim neck, 28" scale length, locking tuners, glow in the dark side markers, Hipshot bridge, the works.
Im not a fan of EMG pickups and the action seems to need to be a tad higher than im used to in order to compensate for how the lower strings move.
Minor issues aside, an excellent erg.
My main concern is the way this thing interacts with my KPA.
I have spent many many hours trying to dial in a distorted tone that allows the extended range to chord clearly.
I have been using the profiles that i made before i received the 8 and have found that the direct mix helps push the clarity with chords but there is still a sloppy harshness to the distortion.
It is well within my plans to purchase a Nazgul for the bridge and a Sentient for the neck. I thought before i do it wouldnt hurt to ask if I should just reprofile the amps with the 8?
Would that even help? Has anyone had these issues with their 8's? Are there any profiles that have been made with an 8 string in the RM that im too dumb to find?
Any help is appreciated, thanks.
