matching magnets in pickup set

[IcedEarth112]

ok i still havent gotten my new set up yet (DDn split/Dimebucker) but i noticed that they both use ceramic magnets and im wondering, should i still make different settings on my amp for when i use each individual pickup or will it sound fine either way?.. like the same distorted sound for each pickup, and the same clean sound for each pickup.

It depends on the individual amp, the individual guitar and the type of sound(s) you're looking for. There's only one way to find out for sure, and that's to try it out when you get it all set up.

Why don't you just set it to sound good with both pickups?

well thats kinda what my question was... like right now my pickups are both the same(duncan designed detonators or somethin) and so i dont know if i have 2 different pickups if they will each take a different setting on my amp for each of them to sound good

if its a matched set I'm sure there's a good middle position
