which dimarzio?

[\m/(00)\m/]

ok, i called dimarzio and i went through the whole process. since im sending the evolution back, what should i exchange it for?


these are what i was thinking of;

super distortion
norton
air zone
steve special
breed
super 3
paf pro


my sound is an open sounding sound:?:
i dont like things to be too tight like the EVO was, i dont want it to be too sensitive like the Evo. was. i also didn't like how, if i messed up, it would shove it right in my face and laugh at me
i dont like really, super hot, high output shred machines either. i would like a medium output one, unless a higher one seems to be the ticket.

what describes it?

thanks

ok, then paf pro it is. im gonna go to sam ash and try out that ibanez RGT3130 that has 2 of them in it.

PAF Pro is a really good pickup....I'm using it now actually. Not nearly as aggressive as the Evo which you'll probably like and very well balanced...

The Virtual PAF also offers that open sounding you are looking for. My buddy likes it more than SD's 59s. I love them myself.

PAF Pro. I woulda said Super Distortion, because that's what I currently have in my Ibanez SA160QM. It's a really sweet pup, but you said no "shred machines" heh.

I have a PAF Pro in my Ibanez RG3120. It's a really cool pup. Like pumped up vintage sound, it'll fit your needs perfectly.

 

[\m/(00)\m/]

thanks guys.

any ideas of a good single coil/ single coil humbucker to go with it?


i was thinking of an HS-3 or a YJM.\

any suggstions?

well, about the "no shred machines". unless it isn't too hot like the Evo, then that would be great. i may just keep using the exchange system until i find the one i like the most.
how goos is the super distortion at cleans, sweep picking(how easy can it be heard), and legato stuff.

Either one will work well with the PAF PRO

I agree that the Paf Pro is great but the FRED is even better in my opinion. Slightly hotter with a little more mids that the Paf Pro... and very, very articulate.

Even if I'm not into brighter pickups (I would personnally go for a fatter Air Zone or Super Distortion in the DiMarzio line), the FRED impressed me A LOT.

My two cents worth to add to the general confusion

 

[\m/(00)\m/]

i may actually try the super distortion.
i tried a SD in the ace frehley les paul, and it sounded pretty good. i'd expect it to sound a "little" similiar since it was mahogany and so is my axe!

The Super Distortion is my favorite rock pickup, way more versatile than most people think... you can go from AC/DC to Metallica with this. The only pickup I like as much is the Seymour Duncan Custom for the bridge position - and hard rock. For blues or clean, it's another story.

I have an Epiphone LP Custom and I had a Standard before that. The Super Distortion had been in my guitars for years. Only the Custom made me forget the Super Distortion... well, not totally forget obviously

does anyone have clips of it?
