So I play modern metal and run my PRS guitars into a Mesa Dual Rectifier. The problem is the feedback and muddyness of the pickups. I've tried 3 different noisegates and they cut out alot of my tone at this point. I play rhythm and our lead guitarist swears by active pickups. I've always stayed away from EMGs and such so I'm really not that schooled in the active pickup world. So my question is this: have any of you that play metal tried EMGs or Blackouts in a PRS? any other suggestions? I know everyone talks highly of the BKPs but it's tough buying something untested. The idea of having to keep track of batteries etc seems like a drag to me but at this point I'm willing to try anything. I am currently using 2 CU22s, a CU24, a P22 and a Tremonti. The Tremonti treble is the only pickup that sounds ok but the feedback is unbearable. Grateful for any help.
Cheers
