You say try but how? Shops in turkey are only sell them they don`t allow to try maybe shops in your country allow but ı can`t try.  So ı`m trying to learn which is suitable for my guitar EMG, Di`Marzio or Seymour Duncan and which model?

this is hard to say, one person will like emg's better that sd etc etc its all personal preferences, and by trying out, i guess they mean, either find a guitar in a guitar shop with (for example) emg pickups, and try it out at the shop, but pickups wont change much to you sound (ofcuz it DOES change a bit) but u wont get more or less distortion from it.

Thats not really true, alot of pickups add more gain & your sound changes dramaticlly. |

but for a pickup choice, i would get a emg 81 @ bridge, its verry high output, wich kinda smoothens the sound, and it powerfull. but, with that zoom 707II u wont get a verry powerfull dist, ive had that unit, and its prettymuch like a metalzone, it has distortion, but the power and the balls are missing. but if u want that, go save for a tube amp.

Yeah the ZOOM 707II isnt very good for anything really, if your into direct recording without an amp like me i suggest a higher end processer, after that then your pickup choice will matter. |

Just go to www.harmony-central.com & do some research on the pickups your looking at, & from there decide. Go to the site & do a search & a bunch of reviews will come up. |
