    good microphone (but not versatile!)

    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.

    Razor sharp, very modern pickup

    Seymour Duncan SH-13 DimebuckerPublished on 04/30/12 at 10:50
    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 li…

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.

    i got this pickup at Sam Ash for $84.

    this is an awesome pickup. Great high end, nice and bright, and loud. When i got this put in, i had to turn my amp down!

    not much, it does tend to be a bit to noisy, sometimes when i take my finger of a note to make it stop, it just keeps on sounding. But i do have a crappy amp.

    it's a pretty sweet looking pickup, it's seymour duncan, so it's good quality. I totally got what i paid for

    great lead pickup, one of the best out there

    The dimebucker is a high output microphone.
    It is coupled on an old Lag Rockline 1991 with a Duncan distortion in a serious and DiMarzio virtual vintage solo in the middle.
    The sound of one dime only be used in distortion because it sends STRID the treble level. In the light I use to split coupled ks for crystal clear sound. It is standard in distortion, the sound is good trs Dfine, harmonics are excellent and it gives quite a punch compared to the duncan distortion. It allows to make powerful rhythmic extremment powerchords.
    Only problem, the dime is serious polyphony, but it's a humbucker so it remains all the same silent.

    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 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.

    I just love the bass distortion, I regret the grain of my TB4 (or TB6?) That there was departing on my ESP horizon. The sound is powerful, sharp (though I like the treble) but it is too sharp. And clear sound, even coupled with micro bridge, I prfre with the old. So I pass the old microphone.
