 HIGH HIGH PRAISE for the ACTV-2 My Goodness how I love this pickup. You can plug it into ANYTHING and it sounds great.
Besides that the melody side is THE best tone by far IMHO.
I love the bass on the PASV 4 and Stickup but Man O man If I could only have one pickup it would hands down be the ACTV-2.
Love, Love Love that pickup

Re: HIGH HIGH PRAISE for the ACTV-2 Honestly, this conversation never gets old! I started on a stickup, moved to the Pasv-4 and loved both. Now I have an actv2 (don't forget the r-block). If I had a second instrument also tuned to full Baritone tuning, it would be very difficult to choose between the stickup or the pasv4.

Re: HIGH HIGH PRAISE for the ACTV-2 Yep, I'll never understand so many guitar players' hate for EMG pickups or active pickups/electronics in general. I'd use them everywhere if I could

Re: HIGH HIGH PRAISE for the ACTV-2 Brett, have only the experience of my ACTV-2 p/up so far, i thought it sounded great when plugged into my bass amp/cab, but I recently took a leaf out of Greg's book and hooked the melody side up to my Evil Robot tube combo -wow, what a sound, this p/up loves valves in a big way!

-Marc- Is that a US production hand-wired Evil Robot, or the PCB-based EVR-C30? Did your purchase have anything to do with Chappers and the Captain?

Re: HIGH HIGH PRAISE for the ACTV-2 Hi Rob, it's the PCB based model, I got it from Andertons here in the UK after seeing Chappers demonstrating it. Took it for a test drive and fell in love with it!
