3 MODELS Possdant "signature" of Dimebag (Dean Razorback two-tone (SH-13 pickups and Dean), Dean Dime From Hell (Bill Lawrence L-500 and SH-59 '), Washburn Dime 333 (SH- 13 and SH-6)) j'tais finally fed up with one of them: the Razorback. In fact this guitar has the most aggressive look, but once branch, the power was down, compared to two others (not in absolute terms of course!). I wanted to put the warbling at the plumage.
Change for 2 Dimarzio pickups: the neck and superdistorsion ct ct X2N easel. Let us on the X2N: SERIES High Power Tone B5, 5/M6, 5/A6, 5, output level 510 mV! On paper the promise is great: it seems to be built for the mtal and (very) large distortion.
Once connected, no dception possible. Hair and tattoos grow spontanment's call VERY big sound coming out of the microphone! The same seems Dimebucker back and at least bte Thurs gal with Bill Lawrence!
But what about the precision? All dpend! Branch on my Mesa Boogie Recto-verb 50 (single correct), do not worry. The pre-amp the extra cash input signal without fail. The clean channel is clear (it's not a Stratocaster!) And boosted channel ... sends tons of gain without becoming incontrlable. Less than prcis EMG, of course, but what a personality and power phnomnale!
Branch on my Hughes and Kettner Matrix 100, things get much dgradent. The clean channel and the channel bve dbord seems saturated by the extra power that becomes difficult contrlable. Must then quickly review the lower the gain of pre-amp, or even decrease the output level of the guitar! Straw!
In short, if you want the trs trs heavy Do not hesitate: the X2N (and his friend the Super Distortion) is a common alternative to traditional but SH-4/SH-6, EMG-81 / 85 and other associations (SH-59 ', SH-13, SH-2N, etc. ...). Compared with EMG, it becomes more characters it loses precision. Compared with HS ... it's another world matter saturation.
Dimebag would not deny that the association
