great pickup more than i was expecting
| Comments |
this pickup went into a custom jem with a korina body. i was expecting to give up some much loved clarity that the dimarzio d-activator had given the guitar. this was not the case, the crunch lab was very clear with much smoother mids and highs. crunch lab has a distinct character in seperating the notes when picking through chords fast. very defined and tight low end. the pickup has the perfect warmth for hard rock and metal.

the dimarzio website description was extremely accurate for this pickup. just a good sounding pickup. responds well with a high quality overdrive and/or clean boost for added clarity and tone sculpting. as always if you dont like it, exchange it through dimarzio

not a D-Sonic and definitely not a Megadrive

definitely not a tweaked-up D-Sonic....

... the CL7 I have is installed with the bar towards the bridge. Really like how it crunches (no suprise here) and it's in your face while being articulate and dynamic without being "over-the-top". Cleans with the CL7 is brighter than a D-Sonic. The closest thing I can really compare this to is an Evo7 without the shrills and extra crunch.

... if you're used to the D-Sonic's "boom", the CL7 tighter bass makes it sound less "boomy"... That can be a good thing if you're playing fast and want to be clear on every note. The magnet on this pup is quite huge, had to do some minor routing in the cavity so it doesn't touch the strings. Otherwise, this pup doesn't not disappoint.
