All user reviews for the Seymour Duncan SH-13 Dimebucker

it makes a Ten members of this year that i mounted on an old SH13 Lag hardmaster and it is just great for metal. It is a microphone that has a response curve made for serious ... its too important not ask him to do the blues is not his thing ... so if you play metal (extreme or not) or very large heavy, it is a perfect otherwise it may disappoint.

in clean, it is quite suitable for funk, because it has sharp enough net and slamming.
large output level too so if your clean channel crunch quickly ca can be embarrassing.

considering that it is dedicated to a micro metal ... it is perfect ... for metal!
I would recommend it to people who have dedicated or several guitars guitars, if it going ben restrict the styles you can play with your guitar ... a ... the metal! ah ah! \ M /

I got this in a Dean Dime O Flame. Based off of Dime's L500XL, whether it was the B&B or the BLUSA isn't known and doesn't really matter, they're incredibly close. There's rumors it was based off a custom L500XXL made just for him but that's not a proven fact. This is a very bright pickup, which happens to be it's #1 complain. A simple 250k pot swap will smooth out those highs and make this pickup sing. Designed to be used in a full mahogany guitar which is pretty dark, so if you put it in an already bright strat style guitar what else would you expect? This pickup isn't bad in any sense but it wasn't as tight or clean as the B&B L500XL. It has higher gain and IMO a bit too much. It is a little fuzzy for that reason, they needed to take off a few winding's to calm it down a bit. Like the L500 this pickup is very clear. Listen to some Pantera to get an idea of how articulate these are. He used the L500 during Pantera but they’re so similar you’ll get the idea. Along with the articulation these have a very smooth razor like sound. It’s not thick but it’s not thin either, it just makes staccato playing effortless, cause it wants to be tight anyways.

Again this is definitely not a bad pickup but for what it is (a L500XL copy) I don't see the point is spending another $30 for the words "seymour duncan" and Dime's signature on it. I'd rather just buy the REAL thing for $50 and have very slightly better tone. There’s a huge debate over B&B vs BLUSA, I don’t buy into it at all. They both make great pickups and are close enough in tone that no one should ever care. I guarantee no one would be able to tell which is which in a blind test, without getting lucky. There’s a youtube video floating around that compared the B&B, BLUSA, and the Dimebucker, all in the same guitar. I suggest you check it out.

Hop, I glue together myself.

I had been dj, almost a year ago, on a Hamer Diablo. I vir fairly quickly. Then this year I wanted to test it again, there was a back-of got it .... A's it, test on two guitars (one for the lime, alder for the other). And virtual re ... I trs that difficult!

Well, here we go: cramique micro strips, MODEL signature Dimebag Darrelll (ex Pantera).

Well. In clean, it sends a really big bunch of treble. A utlilser in troubleshooting, or are holding off on the EQ. It has less gain in passing that the DiMarzio X2N and Lawrence 500XL. In short, it does not clean my channels cruncher, however, above all, the 500XL, which is really an evil monster lev

In saturated there's no, it's his work without problem. It has a fairly typical grain still too got my treble. Its grain is also less pleasant, ultimately, a TB-6 (for example ...). Well, it's a dj, the two guitars Try It kept their personality instead of the 500XL and X2N (d may be the fact that the micro has less gain?)

He also, IMHO, I DEFINITIONS and precision of the TB-6, not to mention the DiMarzio Fred, again and again! Like what, Fred, a micro stamp alnico guitar hero ...
And I do not compare with EMG 81 and 85, I got more convincing, and far more versatile!

In short, my virtual guitars, microphone sold next!

A small set days:

I recently had the opportunism of testing three new scratch on my head Powerball:
- My Ibanez S540FM the famous SH-13
- A US Warrior XT, a friend, Team Invaders HS-8 (this is really shameful to equip a scraper this award: 2900! With a floyd SH rather than a TB!)
- A splendid SG custom, this same friend (one day it will be mine ... oh yes) with SH-6

Bon bah there's no picture of the HS-13 is well above both the gain, the grain and the Equal! The difference is truly phenomenal, it seemed that Jackson had a single coil lol.

It was so surprised that my friend immediately bought a SH-13 (140 qd same store! And again when it is found!)

And I do not want the wrath of guano pulled me
It's just that I just have to practice what you said in your opinion and I do not agree that's it
Except with the fact that it sends to acute bcp, ca I agree and it can be a little boring on some leads ... but hey, I'm very well Also accommodates an EMG 81 in bcp sends more ...

So after changing gear, and try different configs, I stay on my position:

This mic is terrible, I counsel all trasheux and other metalheads who want wake up a little (understatement) their rhythm!

Big presence, rich in harmonics, the ultimate precision ...
Absolutely wonderful!!
I think his main quality is the precision!
I never heard that, that am in serious or Agues!

Since I (early May) I never left my guitar (Ibanez S Series: Team microphone means (DiMarzio design?))

A big thank you for making me discover Kinderguano (and sold) this great micro!

In addition to ue hundred euro would be a shame to spend a cot!

Owner of a LAG, so I had a guitar can play everything except extreme metal Bourrin. The TB4 is very good as we are in the Rock, but no longer quite as soon as abusive Satus applied to it. So I decided to update my old Jackson RR 94 so that it is only my guitar violently.
After using a pair of Pro Super-Distorsion/PAF in Di Marzio, excellent in any case, I had to have more.
So I restored the config Fire Dimebag: SH-1n SH-in Neck and Bridge 13 ... And then the slap!
The SH-13 is best used on guitars that sound serious as its output level and EQ "V" Nature is sharp.
The highs are aggressive, powerful bass and Mediums set back to be set in post at the discretion of the guitarist.
The Micro is super accurate even with an extreme saturation, do not spit, do not drool, harmonics sertent own and the output level is really on top of conventional microphones.
Best of all, once split the sound is very convincing to believe that the two coils have the same number of turns as the sound become close to a Fender bridge.

In short, it's not the top for versatility, despite a surprise to splittage, but for those who want the VERY big sound, it is perfect!

I buy my dimebucker in November 2005, I installed on my Dime2STH Washburn, bah yes dimebag guitar for that matter, dj basic config of my dime sounds of hell the sound is really aggressive, but the amount dimebucker in acute above, WOW! What is the sea. I had it before?? Honntement the sound dj silent trs good home on this guitar, the bah is the coup de grace! distortion trs powerful prcise and sharp! Its output level is so important that clear channel, I put myself on the original micro serious "washburn eliminator", the sound is normal in Dimebucker I start, I have to turn down the volume, otherwise the sound live crunch!
It really is the MICRO METAL!
I try other micro symour duncan, Di Marzio, even Bill Lawrence Dimebag L500XL of the beginners of Pantera, NO DID SOUND TOO AGGRESSIVE AND ACCURATE!
If you buy this mic is knowingly but I recommend it only to those who played the Mtal because it is not versatile, but for me it is not a default!
I buy on Ebay for about 80 + normal fees if a c'tait again, I buy it!
I'm even telling me tater to buy a guitar for a project based mtal stratocaster.

'll Notice about this little bomb! So to start I bought 110 euros Thomann and I mount it myself without too much difficulty provided the record can quickly locate the cable and locations! I just keep the support of the former because the microphone is provided, but tilted so that the old flat t! but the question of taste! then the connection is very simple, once the install it gets setrieuses! it generates the sound and power are enormous with a grain typ trs trs trs highs are Submitted, I did not see the shadow of a medium .. and low are sufficient! with a small sharp snapping sound typical researc! wholesale micro fantastic! before I tried the famous emg ... they pass almost for microphones on a single stratum of cot sh13 lol!

I use it for almost a year on an Ibanez prestige 1820x.
I think it is that particular feature has a high output level and it is hollow in the mids which I like in terms of definition, the metal is the ultimate weapon.
I think he has the personality and it is not only good for its gain.
I have not had time to try a lot of micro but it does me an opportunity to test there is no photo, for me that's exactly what I wanted.
Good advice the seller am by the way!
Despite what you may think if you know his stuff and settle the volume knob can be quite versatile.
I find it worth its price and if I had to buy it back I would do!
I put just nine for perfection is subjective. It would be perhaps not to everyone.

I do not know if the microphone has a high output or not I do not understand about that but I think we just send him any disto its limit is far enough cash this is being done ( even the most violent) without being dirty, I find it very clean, precise with ataque enjoyable.
this micro really had a personality before the XL500 and although it too much micro sends this one with the distinct impression that I myself very close to the sound of pantera ... This was not the case of XL500, the grain seems different.
before playing on ca I played with Dimarzio evolution, EMG 81, EMG 60, Bill Lawrence XL500 and Gibson Burstbucker
Quality for price I know he was home on my guitar ... but if he did not props I would buy without hesitation!

- How long have you use it?
Schecter 006 Extreme climb there's no long be

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Very nice mids and highs, very specific, very powerful and increasingly look fabulous.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
No, but I have the chance to own a Fender Deluxe with microphone United States ASH Samarium Cobalt (excellent micro that I would not change for any other) and Sh-13 Dimebucker has a more modern, but as accurate as fender.

- How do you report qualitprix?
or it depends on a buy, in my case for 95 euros in a Thomann eros can go 130 but in France it's stolen.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
OOOOhhhhh!! yes

should be a good 5 or 6 months that I have on my mountain barbel BC.Rich Virgo and I'm really happy, I love this c'que micro is that it is hyper pr cis without the nasal mdiums usually Submitted on micro mtal, although more has to be killing a total distortion is a microphone that has a very nice clean sound has m ' as much surprised at the limit I reproach him for his sometimes too sharp snapping (but with the tone Grable) and having to turn down the volume for the cruncher to do but clean it from a nickel chrome high art
on the other hand, the thing on my BC.Rich plastic around the microphone (I remember most was how is called) not fit on the guitar of the sudden I screw the mic but that of the BC.Rich he swims in it is a shame
pay in stores is expensive 130 I regret it in any case, I would do with the exprience that choice rather than twice in fact when I have my schecter I plan to replace the bridge pickup by this one

I Mount for 1 month, it replaces the original micro gibson flying v on my 500T (which is great too).
The SH13 is made for big sound accurate, the 500T or TB6 I also have another scratching its precision, the frequency is clearly to the high and medium high (the 500T is rather low medium The more serious TB6) harmonics out very easily, the solos sound better than the original microphone, singing is hashed and precise, the other is almost equivalent seymour was this that I falait for my gibson has a wood (severe), on wood Augustan I think a would be too garish.
I find the appropriate price-quality relationship is a condition of buying on the net (95 euros). if its socket.
of course I remake that choice.
I forgot to clean sounds good is not good months than the other two, as if the sound was coming out of an equalizer by cutting the bass and low mids, for a too bad, things have both good certainly was not feasible, coupled with a good neck pickup was a killer guitar ...

Mount on a Ibanez RG350EX in the bridge position.

A microphone with a bad temper and a sharp but without Previous capable of great nuance in clean sounds. Everyone will not agree with forcment what I say, for sure ...
Many acute, a big attack but also low trs Submitted.
A cot Garon bad that I really like the grain of the microphone. For me, one of the metal meileurs passive pickups I had in my hands, at least I prfre by far the D-activator of the competitor ...

But good for words ... I made ​​a video review on Youtube:

to give you an ide of what gives the micro-air and saturated. DSOL for the crunch, it's not really my cup of tea!

I use less than 10 months ...
It is mounted on my Washburn St 2 We (Dimebag signature)
The particular feature I like most: his resentment of hell! The least: the background noise on my old MG. (But the amp, test on a Krank Rev Jr = nothing!) Nothing.
I must say that I have not much of microphones essay competition, but I have a pair of EMG 81. They are also well trs but it is a completely DIFFERENT grain. The EMG are cold, the Dimebucker is much hotter, a lot of bass and treble, when you plug, you say, "Send!" ! If I had to decide, I will take by far the SH-13!
I think it is around 130 euros in nine is relatively expensive, but if you dboursez, I do not think you will regret your purchase.
With exprience, I remake Obviously this choice is a passive microwave hyper-aggressive!

I've had it 3-4 months on my Washburn KC-70V in bridge position, splittable, coupled with two EMG HZ S4 (the latter MODEL 2010).
A good starting C'tait for me, and I do not regret my choice, with the possibility to split the dimebucker, I have a very wide range of interesting combinations.
I wanted some acqurir polyvalant with its very modern and clean and the sound of EMG's hottest in Duncan, and I am not of the result; harmonics out all alone, I very specific on a sound and good bass presence as acute.
In clean, the BLEND of SH-13 (x) hz s4 is very good, the sound is much less aggressive than if one dimebucker silent.
For the price, I have found a good compromise with the sh-13 Plutt expensive and two emg hz s4 accessible, made me in the 250 euro poses with microphones in store included. I do not regret at all because the quality is paid, and it is my opinion still very affordable.
I advise anyone wishing to have an aggressive sound and clear, just be careful with what other pickups are the couple ...

For how long have you been using it?

Soon one month

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

I tested the Seymour Duncan SH-8 (invaders) besides the original pickups on my Ibanez.

Did you try many other models before getting this one?

Of acute severe beating up that take the road well! Many people told me that for my guitar (Ibanez GRG170DXL) I would put a stone in water with high quality wood ect ect .... And finally it has literally changed my guitar! While the microphones do not perhaps their max with my guitar low end but still.

Perhaps the least ..... amp mandatory change my poor MG15 not support the beast .. sniff.

Choice to repeat as necessary!
