I'm just now getting to a point where I'm concerned with finding the right tone for the song I'm playing along with being accurate and in harmony. I set my mid frequency to 250 Hz but am still having trouble achieving that Lakland growl I hear on the site and in videos, etc. If I turn the mids up it sounds too twangy but if I cut them and boost the bass a little it sounds a little too sludgy. I'm looking for something like the neck pickup hard rock sample with flats if I can dial it in.

It sounds like a pick really helps bring it out so I am sure that's a big part of the problem. I can time alright with one but can't control it enough yet to hit it at a consistent strength. Is there anything else I should be doing to help me along in achieving that tone?

to get that growl try setting your mids to the the higher one like 700 or 850 thats were i always get the most growl, with the coil tap all the way to the back and the mids boosted
