hello guys how do these pickups compare? I look for an 80s hair metal tone like a JB but more smooth and articulate or which pickup you recommend
SEYMOUR DUNCAN PERPETUAL BURN VS DIMARZIO AT 1

Well, 80s hair metal isn't smooth to me, but for articulate, look at the Full Shred.

Doesn't seem that the Full Shred gets talked about much and that doesn't mean that it doesn't have any merit.
One of my guitars is a Stratothing which I've owned about for about 4 or 5 months and it has the following pickups: SSL-6 / SSL-6 / Full Shred. So this is the basis for my opinion.
On the Full Shred, I have to agree with admin. In this guitar, it is a smooth pickup and rolls down nicely with both the volume and tone controls. Yes, it can do some softer chords and blues. The main thing I like about this pickup is that the bass and treble is balanced and plays nicely with the SSL-6's.
Lastly, I would much rather have a Full Shred rather than the JB.

I'll take the PB over the JB any day, and even over the AT-1. I have the PB in my Warmoth Frankenstrat. It's the only pickup with a push-pull pot. I will tell you this, the PB is FAT and very sensitive to height adjustment. It can be smooth. I love the articulation and sustain with it. The high string notes stay fat too. And split, one of the best humbuckers I've used split. Very strat-like and has a little extra bite to it. It's one of my favorite Duncans.

Mind you, I don't play live, and I don't play metal, but for articulate clean and powerful . . . it's hard to beat the PB. It beat my CS El Diablo out of 1st place in my Peavey Rockmaster. (Single bridge humbucker axe.)
It's a "can't go wrong" pickup.
I have no experience with the DMZ AT1. Sorry.

Had it been around way back I think the P/S combo would've been very popular in 80's rock-metal.

Adding more mids would be the Perpetual Burn, certainly. There are more modern pickups like the Alt 8 as well.

The stock JB with a UOA5 mag swap is a thing of beauty. Smooths it right out, adds clarity and retains nice mids.
Both of the pickups you inquired about are great for what you're after.
Personally, I like the AT-1 I have a lot, though I de-aired it (got rid of the plastic spacers that hold the magnet away from the poles and put in a metal spacer [trimmed allen key] so everything makes contact)

The AT-1 is my favorite pup at the moment. Have one in my PRS and also
in my Charvel San Dimas. You pretty much described it in you original
post. It’s very articulate and the mids are lower mid based. If you take
the JB and shift that awful upper mid spike to lower frequencies and
smooth out the rough edges, you have the AT-1. I love Andy’s tone
and there’s a reason this is his signature pup. Good luck.

Not remotely close. If you want a jb without the ill manners, at1 is that in spades. Pb is nothing like a jb. It doesn't have the mids or vocal sound, and it is raging bright, with an attack like a hammer striking a metal plate. I put rough a2 in to tame it.
