Well I've narrowed my search down.. after trying several Dimarzios I think I'm finally getting closer...
I've had.. an Evo2.. D activator and Breed.
Out of those I like the breed most. It's a bit honky? With my setup. Had to drop the mids. Then it was pretty good.
This is a mahogany guitar... (Schecter c-1 Artist) I removed the tone pot and used a 250k pot for volume. So the 250k volume kind of attenuates the highs since I removed the tone pot.
Well its still a tad brighter than I'd like it to be. It's close and I may end up coming back to this
pickup after trying several more... who knows. Heres what I'm currently considering though:
Super Distortion
Super 3 (Maybe too modern for me?)
Tone Zone (Maybe too modern for me?
AT-1
Maybe - Air Zone? ( Vintage Version of Tone Zone
)
Thats down to... 4 maybe 5
I suck at choosing pickups lol...
I play a lot of classic rock and old school metal, my distortion is usually set at a Van Halen level. Soo in other words just enough gain to let those harmonics squeal!
So if you guys would be kind enough to help me out here and tell me the advantages to each of these pickups. Even though my guitar is mahogany I'm doubting I'll have any trouble with muddyness. My setup includes a Crate V30 (Modeled after a Plexi) and a 4x12 of G12h30's and G12m's... I run a 6 band EQ up front to tighten everything up and boost the mids some.
