What players and reviewers say
Players comparing them
“This is where a split Air Norton fares better, but it can be too woofy/muddy on the low strings in humbucking mode.”
“I was hoping the Air Norton to be a hotter and more mid-focused version of that.”
On the DiMarzio Air Norton
“I believe the DiMarzio Liquifire is a slightly altered Air Norton with less high end, but also leaner lows.”
Comparing with DiMarzio LiquiFire
“The pickup becomes famous for its thick, vocal lead tone and smooth low end.”
On the DiMarzio Norton
“The Norton was powerful, had great lows and mids but the highs sounded quite muffled and sythetic.”
“Arena-shaking open chords have definition and a degree of sparkle to each note.”
