Advice regarding humbuckers

[shadow666]

I have a Schecter Tempest Extreme and I'm getting a Marshall DSL 401 amp soon, and my rig also has a Digitech Grunge distortion (soon to be replaced with a Big Muff), a Modtone Aqua Chorus and a Digitech Whammy II (the black one).

I play mostly grunge/punk/noise rock, but my distortion pedals handle that and since I also use the cleans, I find the stock Schecter pickups are too muddy for my taste. What do you guys recommend I swap them with? I was thinking a set of DiMarzios, but since this is a Seymour Duncan forum I thought I should see what you guys recommended also.

The Alternative 8 for the bridge. It has a high enuff output to drive your pedals n' stuff, but should also keep some things clean enuff when you need 'em. Haven't personally played one, but you asked for advice, so...

On the DiMarzio side of things, I'd recommend their D Activator set. They will handle the Grunge-y dirt, they will definetly ace Punk, and do stay firm in a hail of noise.

Regarding DiMarzios, I was thinking a Humbucker from Hell in the neck for clean stuff and a D Activator in the bridge.
