Published on 12/10/10 at 05:02It's been 3 months I use this pickup installed in the bridge position on an Ibanez RG 3120.
I think this pup is well balanced, while still hot and not unmanageable with a large output level, for example.
Before, I had the pickup DiMarzio / IBZ, then I put a Seymour Duncan SH5.
It has a much warmer character than the other two, especially compared aus SH5 I find too aggressive and not enough in this rhythm, because of the lack of high-mids. This pickup brings a lot anyway, presence! It cuts through the mix, while having a good presence in the bass, unlike the DiMarzio / IBZ, too average in the big riffs.
Regarding the soli, it is very common in the sense that the highs are not invasive, they are still present eh
-and are not screaming. Artificial harmonics are triggered very well (especially with a good tube amp pushed well yum).
The only criticism I could make it is to be a bit messy in large Accor's Dream Theater for example-it seems that the notes are somewhat "clustered" if you know what I mean .. . But it does not bother me that much, and it is a minor printing, it's very, very well.
In my registry rock / fusion / progressive, it goes very well, heat, precision, and versatility are fat there. For metal, prog goes, but not extreme, but this pup is not addressed to such guitarists.
In any case, a pickup that deserves to be known! On occasion, the price / quality ratio is very good (for me € 65), nine in the 100 € it is acceptable, but all pickups have the same price anyway ...
With experience, I do not know if I would do that choice, precisely because I have no experience!
I want to try other DiMarzio, as Steve Morse, the Breed, the Crunch Lab or the legendary Super Distortion (bridge position for the course).
I hope this review was helpful!
