I noticed long time ago that I can't get clean tones with some guitars. It is always a little distortion, even with ultraclean tones.
Curiosly, active pickups (Emg, Blackouts) sound totally clean but pasives (SH6, Nazgul) sound distorted. Weird.
Listen to this clip, first part is Blackout (active), second part is Nazgul (pasive).
Just to make sure: the Gain Control needs to show exactly ZERO for a totally clean rig. Otherwise it can break up when boosted.
Secondly, is your input LED red indicating you overload the input with the high output pickup?
Thanks Ingolf, but as you can hear in the clip, it is the same rig, totally clean, which sounds clean with some guitars and fistorted with other guitars.
No RED input light.
I met another guy who has that same issue with some pasive guitars.
