What players and reviewers say
Players comparing them
“I believe the DiMarzio Liquifire is a slightly altered Air Norton with less high end, but also leaner lows.”
On the DiMarzio Air Norton
“This is where a split Air Norton fares better, but it can be too woofy/muddy on the low strings in humbucking mode.”
Comparing with DiMarzio Norton
“I was hoping the Air Norton to be a hotter and more mid-focused version of that.”
Comparing with DiMarzio Norton
On the DiMarzio LiquiFire
“All in all, the LiquiFire has more body, more tone, more soul and perfect articulation without having any harsh or ice-picky tendencies..”
“Both have very nice high gain solo voices the Sentient clearer and more articulate the Liquifire more aggressive compressed and smooth and thicker.”
