Yeah with v7 and v8's its hard to get a richer squeel out of the notes. Or may be I'm no good with my squeels i dunno - so do you think the v7 and v8's should stay and i should say no to the emg?'s I'd be keeping my single coil just replacing two humbuckers with EMG zw- 81's and 85's - thats about it.

Also is the zakk wylde pedal worse or better than the current boss metal zone that I have?
