i play an ibanez rg2ex1, its a beggining mid range guitar, uses emg designed pickups...

i play a line 6 spider 3 useing the "riggs shred" tone and chaning it by raising the mid and slightly raising the bass and lowering the treble...

the main problem is when i start my sweep picking, which i know comes from the guitars picups because when i played an ibanez prestige on the same amp with dimarzios it sounded very clean...

so i dont want to mess with my guitar because i am saving for a new one but i am wondering what are the tone settings (eg treble, mid, bass, presence) to get a clean lead tone without all the string noise, or do i have to buy a noise gate?
