Marc Diglio XYZ Hungry - what pickup?

[CarlosG]

Hi!
What pickup will bring me closer to this sound?

I know that he used full maple charvel superstrat, but I dont know what pickup he used.
Previous album ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bpFdx-xpmW4 ) sound like a JB, but this completly not sound like JB.
Some people write that he used PRS humbucker.
This sound has mighty harmonics, sounds like he played gently pinch harmonics all time

\m/

I also heard reviews that he used Duncan Custom. Does this sound like Custom?

Gravity Storm Dimarzio sound pretty close https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gpe-YXMDB1o

Great choice of tone to cop! That is one of my all-time favourite guitar tones. I actually know a guy who owned THE Marc Diglio Charvel. Unfortunately the pickup was changed before he got it.

The amps on that album are apparently a mixture of a Mike Morin preamp and a Soldano SLO. To me there is something about the sounds like a rack-based setup, a certain evenness of attack that seems typical of rack setups. Getting that right is going to do a whole lot more than the exact pickup. You are right that there is a ton of harmonic content in this, so I'd recommend relatively thin strings (no more than .009s) to bring that out.

I think that is medium hain humbucker, because celans up great. I Heard that pro co rat gives a much high harmonics. Its may be a good Amp booster to achieve more harmonics. Treble boosters too. Humbucker with treble booster sounds more straty. Ps. Sory for my english. I Hope you understand me
