Hi,
I just got an Ibanez Premium RG1120, it's a fine guitar, but i'm a bit puzzled by the sound of their Dyna-mix 10 switching system.
I should mention that though i absolutely do not intend to play metal with this guitar, i mostly play clean, so things are probably a bit biased from the beginning.
The guitar has DiMarzio Fusion Edge pickups (Titan like) and is just fine with humbucker sounds or regular split coil sounds, What puzzles me is their power coil positions :
the sound is suddenly having a BIG dip in the mids. I wish it were just like the humbucker sound (it is, level wise) but with the extra brightness of a single coil.
There is some added high frequncies, for sure, but paradoxically, it just sounds muddy. Definitely not the single coil sound with added volume, something else ...
Does any owner feel the same ??
Maybe that was designed for the sole purpose of high gain distortion, and regardless, it may be just great for most guitarists, i don't know, but in my case this is a bit disappointing.
I listened to the Tom Quayle demo (thanks for playing some clean sounds as well !!) and i did not perceive such muddiness.
Gonna tweak my GT1000 a bit more to try to fine some amp setting that will be satisfactory in all positions.
