I am unable to get a clean sound on my Mustang III using EMG 81/85 PU combination. I've turned the gain down the PU's are almost off and I still can't get it to clean up. I've tried my SG with hot (non-active) humbuckers and it cleans up fine. Am I doing something wrong or does anyone else have this problem with active pickups?

Thanks

Perhaps the battery is low. Distortion is normally heard when the battery is about to die.

aLinux Good Call!!! Absolutely was the problem. I put a cheap battery in and it lasted only a few weeks. Never thought of it. The clean sound is awesome even better with active PUs because I have total control of the grind.

Thanks!
