All user reviews for the Seymour Duncan SH-6B Duncan Distortion Bridge

A micro size in and for Rock ...

I use the Seymour Duncan SH6 for a year now. This mic is REALLY built for the Hard Rock, Mtal short, for the "hefty" What ... It produces a sharp, no piti and will most ... It goes without that play a ballad in her clear: it is better to forget ... Since R is agreement to use ropes ncessaire deep draft, in order to maintain a low minimum in the sound. It does mount by my luthier, LYON. I use it on an Ibanez Iceman 500 (and ending for two ...). All this is connected to a two-body HUGHES & KETTNER transistor. For those who use this type of amplifier (transistor), although I recommend using the SH6 SH8 and not because the output volume of HS8 "Invader" is almost ingrable (feedback galore) unless, of sr team of his guitar with a chip grant the output volume, but this creates another dpense consquente to tame bbte ...
While the price is a little lev (for the opinion of some), but the game is worth it ...
If I make another choice, and I'll be Bond for the other Ibanez Iceman 500, I re-sign without hsiter one second ... Why change on a micro Iceman 500? It is "unfortunately" in team SERIES by Di Marzio, and hlas, rendering the sound is not the height Discount ...
The SH6 is a must in the Contents .... Just!

I use the microwave for 3 months. My warlock has two NJ.
This microphone is extremely powerful distortion, especially in big distortion. The palm mute gives it depth and a very good record in the bass. It responds very well in the bridge position, position the handle is very comfortable on it for serious rhythm.
The weakness of this microphone is in my view the clear sound. In his clear, it tends to saturate rather quickly if you push a little gain, it's a shame.
There is still a very good microphone for those who like the big rock that spot, the metal and consort.
The presence of these microphones on the NJ I gained hand has strongly influenced my choice, so yes, if it again, I would do the same choice.

I put 8 / 10 because perfection does not exist, and the sound is not too clear top.

- How long have you use it?
last month, a Gothic piphone sg. This micro neck position is a replacement for my DiMarzio DP100.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
The sound! vritable killing distortion sound with a lot of gain and harmonics. I hsit between the invader and HS6 HS8, well here I regret my choice. is a micro crazy, trs rich and sends a sacr sauce with my marshall!

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Before I had the DiMarzio DP100, dj not bad but not great, too "vintage" I got. but it has seymour duncan of breath, sick of grain and richness across the range of sounds!

- How do you report qualitprix?
excellent!

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
no problem, too good!

I use this mic on a Cort X-Custom with sh2 configuration / SH6. The SH6 has replaced the SH4 which I find lacking in punch and aggressiveness.

I play mostly progressive metal. Personally I do not really clear, I will not go here.
I used this microphone trs long because I really like the grain, but I found it a lack of bass in the DEFINITIONS, including rhythmic attacks o missing teeth. I find it generally less aggressive than ToneZone example.
on the other hand I emphasize again today, this mic for solos is really gnial. The Heat What characters!

Finally if you want to listen I refer you to my Myspace http://profile.myspace.com/jefonyx

The song "The Last Showdown", "Marauder" and "Life's Edge" on t recorded with the following hardware:
-Cort X-Custom with sh2 BHM Team - sh/tb6
Digitech-Gnx2

I changed my exprience with the microphone for a Dimarzio Breed, who happens to convince me my taste in rhythm and solo unlike one that I find HS6 poustouflant ToneZone a solo that excels in rhythmic .

PS: If you try my myspace please feel free to give me your opinion

Mount on a ESP Horizon NT II bridge
I russi chopper in the red version (my ESP is STBC, large red), therefore a direct slap to the eye!
I had a pos EMG 89/81 kit replaces a set sh2/sh6
I have to hand DCID seymour because I think it is more personal (the tastes and colors ...)
the TRS 81 is a good microphone. trs homogne, prcis, good cam ...
The SH6 is more aggressive, more dirty
the site of Duncan, he put the bass mid treble spec 5 8 9
ok it is not loaded at low rev, for my part I find that it is not too a default, and then jai the following equipment to overcome this problem ...
Submitted treble are well, but certainly less that a abuss sh13 that you spit a mouth. the most surprising is his medium that may well pousss Drout a lot of people.

Specifies that it is micro Designed for serious tuning, and drop tuning (have to see the guys who use it). I play in a formation of deathcore / metalcore agreement in drop C. I put the rods in consquence (12-58) the sound is perfectly saillant.comme say it is lower, has a micro advise for those who want out of the 81 standard ...

I will take with exprience, it fulfills its role of micro bridge dirty that oats .. That said, I rechopperais well a 81 if I scratch a sup, which is happening everywhere ..
HS6 remains the most typ more aggressive

a month!

yeah, not bad, the EMG on my old viper, a HS8, the DiMarzio / IBZ perfectly atrocious ...

I love this mic on my ibanez in the lime ... you would hear the sound! greasy, super sharp, shred it into an orgy ... the sweep? like the summer breeze ...

I never heard of a micro hard sounded so good, but metal with metal grain, "crunch" ... rhythm in a killing!

in résumé: I love it!

edit: on the other hand, adcoiffe! I forget what prciser dtail, when I mount on my ibanez I got a dfrisage intgral of my hair, yet I have one that HS8 micro is a large truck. But l! I also rarely pchu jou ... SH6 this brawler! ca Thrasher donf '... a grain dirty, but super aggressive prcis ... oddly for solos I can not find it really loud, which is weird. trs brilliant and dli, which is enjoyable, pchu, but not really harsh, in fact ...

In fact, I think it's a microphone over to the mahogany round the corners, but, well, I like the rendering on the lime, then rock and roll ...

prciser if I forget I have a version made by Lydia Duncan, I do not know if much has changed ... in any case has come!

I used it on several guitars since 1991 (not all mine): Aria, Ibanez, strata, TV (Squier) Les Paul copy and Jagstang.
It is these last two the result I found most friendly, especially the Les Paul copy.

Ideal to go tease a floor lamp.
Big potato output with a dominance of acute.
Not too low and not too much midrange.
That may be why the Les Paul makes it more balanced, and it compensates medium.
The lack of medium can interfere to move to the top of the mix for a solo.

for large rhythmic saturated, it does it well.
In the clear ... it can go even if not too comfortable.
in any case, it is very accurate, it's nice!

The configuration that I recommend: Use a switch on / on / on in order to operate in Parallel / Split / Series (it's a 4-wire)
the effect will be even more supported by using a tone knob kind of Fender TBX.
it boosts bass and good treble.

This microphone is excellent, I've tested the bridge position of a skyscraper which was equipped with his soulmate ... the sh-6N Puré what he jete! Ceramic magnet, very high output level: this means that power and aggression are waiting for you ... the microphone is very precise qd same attack and is ^ own ... it's not that big sound drooling dripping and contrary to what we had told me I find that it is pasty in serious, however the speed metal riff has become nervous and precise! It's super heavy, with Dimarzio super distortion of the gt-6 is the reference in the bridge position for those who are fond of heavy metal side ... not too clear sound c his thing but it happens to have good outcomes of fiddling tones and amp ... which is not normally asked that ...
Value taken excellent (85 euros !!!!) nine

The Seymour Duncan Distortion is a new take on the JB. It features the same slugs on one coil, adjustable screw heads on the other and four conductor wiring. However, it has a ceramic magnet installed inside of it. This is what gives it its tone.

The Distortion is one of the tighter pickups that Seymour Duncan offers. The bass on this is ample enough to be fat but without being flubby. The midrange on this is fairly even sounding, and the treble is extended a bit thanks to the ceramic magnet. In reality, it’s just a JB with a ceramic (or maybe two or three of them stacked on top of each other) magnet(s) installed.

This is a very polarizing pickup as it depends on what you’re going for. Some metal guys love it for its very tight and searing quality. I’m generally one of those people. However, some find the treble to be a bit too much. I’ve experienced that in certain guitars as well. Like all Seymour Duncan pickups, it really depends on how the guitar sounds before you install the pickup. I’ve had good and bad luck in both mahogany and alder. My number one go-to pickup is the Duncan Custom, but the Duncan Distortion is currently in my number one guitar at the moment. Go figure. It just matched so perfectly that I have absolutely no desire to pull it out.

If you’re a metal player and looking for a tight pickup, I recommend checking this out. It’s a really good pickup for those machine gun riffs. However, just be aware that it can be bright if you’re not careful. If your guitar is already bright, you might want to try out the Custom instead. The nice thing is that Seymour Duncan has a return policy where they’ll let you swap out a pickup if you’re not satisfied with it.

I installed it on an Ibanez RG321 (a mid-range instrument).

I wanted to upgrade the original pickups because they didn't match my tuning (drop B) and the sound was not accurate enough with distortion...

I searched a long time for the right pickup and I think I found it! In the beginning I was surprised by the very present mids...

But after a while I understood that this strong mid frequency response makes my guitar cut through the mix. The sound is more dynamic and the gain higher... The sound precision is stunning and this pickup can easily compete with active models.

The output level is also very high and with many overtones... The sound is warm and has a strong character!

The sound versatility is stunning regardless of the tuning. The sound is always clear and dynamic. Your amp will come to life. Even with drop B tuning the sound remains clean and accurate and the pickup doesn't generate any noise.

The SH-6 can be split, which is a great for clean sounds, and even though it's not the best pickup for clean sounds it does perform better than a 81...

I've had it for three months and I would certainly buy it again.

I recommend it first and foremost to people looking for an alternative to the characterless EMG pickups. If you want a warm, aggressive, accurate and dynamic sound, this pickup is made for you.

Update: a lot of people suggest, rightfully, that you should use it with a heavy string set... Which is normal considering the pickup is conceived for down tuning fans
