I was talking to this guy the other day who repairs guitars and said that he gets alot of complaints about the Dimarzio Evolution pickup being prone to alot of feedback, I dont own any axe with these pickups so could someone be kind enough to clear this up?
on the dimarzio site it says "even the lowest bass notes really jump out of the amp, and feedback occurs easily with a wide range of harmonic overtones."
i'd assume too much gain
and mabe its dual-resonance design?
the dual-resonance design coupled with the facts that it's so freakin high output and people run the gain at like 8-10 all the time.
I wouldn't say it's the pickup itself, it's more the user not knowing how to
"unfeedback" their rig properly. AKA where to stand, less gain, actually using a volume knob (people don't get the fact that when they don't play... they can turn the volume knob down and NOT get feedback! *shocked* what a concept!), the use of noise gates etc.
I own a Evo equipped S470 and it can deliver some of the most beautiful note-to-feedback I've heard...natural, not harsh and you don't need mass amounts of volume to get it...RSVampire is right,there are a lot of things to take in consideration, pickups are just a part of the equation...some people install Steve Vai pups and expect to sound as good as him just like that...
