Dimebucker, Distortion, Invader, JB, Custom, Custom 5, Custom Custom, allthese are high output...what kind of tone are you looking for and what kind of guitar are they going iin?
The tone that I'm wanting is something that can throw a straight forward metal punch with good bass and good clarity. I'm basically looking for something that competes with the EMG-81.
You do NOT want the live wire metal if you ever play anything less than rip your head off metal. The LW-HMET's clean tone makes an EMG sound like a freakin Seth Lover.
If you want balls out heavy, but still want a useable clean tone, try out the Invader. Of course, the JB & Distortion totally kick ass, too.
