My screw poles are set slightly above the bobbin and level with one another. Holy Biscuits, Man!!! The increase in output, clarity and definition was like night and day. It sounded better clean, and it sounded better overdriven. I might hold off on the new pickup until after our next live show and just see how this works HOW do you guys know all these things?
There is so much gear out there, it is getting as hard to keep track of models as it is all the car options out there once we got past Joined May 1, Messages 1, Reaction score 6, Those were kick ass pickups inba kick ass guitar. No idea what they'd sound like in your strat though It has more to do with the wood It doesn't. Conventional wisdom tells us that we make huge changes by changing pickups.
It won't. The basic sound of the guitar from the wood is there to stay no matter what pickup. No matter what electronics no matter what tone cap, etc But what will make the big difference is: A mahogany body, or a ironwood body, or a koa body JakeAC":2gbpkf2i said:. MrDan":3mexv9vv said:. The tonal change is very minor. The new pickup is a hair hotter, a touch cleaner with note separation through high-gain tones, and is easier to excite harmonics on.
I have a set in neck through ibanez that I keep tuned at c standard It has been the bestset that I have found for that guitar n superfat but without loosing rticulation Lottsnof balls Just got another set that I am going to put into d standard guitar hope it works there as well Mega deth Chris Broderick loves those pickups to. MrDan":zt9of23j said:. It's no thicker sounding in the JP6 than the D-Sonic. I specifically wanted something similar but with a little more articulation or note definition than the D-Sonic, and my friend at DiMarzio suggested I try this one.
If you want "thicker" DiMarzio tone, maybe try a Tone Zone? I haven't personally played a Tone Zone in many years. There is also a neck version of this pickups which I think is crazy.
I never imaged they would make an X2N for the neck position. I guess modern knowledge has given the makers ability to tame some of their crazy old pickups from back in the day. If you are a fan of the old X2N monster but want a slightly more refined pickup Dimarzio is making it now. This pickup has the two huge blades that the original X2N had, four conductor wiring and a ceramic magnet shoved inside it. This is pretty much a modern take on the old school X2N of yesteryear.
The X2N has been out for a very long time, and this new take on the pickup is very similar to the X2N while still offering some cool new features not found in the original. This helps aid in note clarity. Output voltage, while lowered, it still really high. This thing is guaranteed to slam the front of your amp. The highs are rolled back …. It has a similar low and midrange to the X2N, so you still get that powerful sound that bands like Death successfully showed. Split coil tones on this are very nice, just like the X2N.
Parallel is the same way. It works in just about any wood combination you can think of, but I think it works best in mahogany, personally. It really aids in making a powerful sound with some good midrange. Subscribe to our free newsletter Subscribe. Configure my preferences Accept all Our cookies. Just about all the bands you named are using guitars with lower output pickups compared to those you mentioned. Using high output pickups is not going to instantly give you powerful distorted tones.
Based on the bands and styles you mentioned, I'd recommend the D-Activator set as it's still a high output set of pickups, but are still better balanced tonally, in my opinion.
Personally, I find the X2N to be way too bassy with very piercing and brittle treble for most applications outside some early Thrash and early Death Metal.
Thus, between the two you mentioned, I'd go for the D-Activator X. As for a neck pickup, I'd still go D-Activator regardless of bridge pickup choice. It'll give you those cutting, articulate leads. MaxOfMetal , Aug 10,
