What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio D Activator
“That's cool, well it sounds like the D-Activator must be a pretty rippin pickup for tight/articulate gainy tones!.”
“But right now, I want an aggressive midrange emphasis, or else, I would keep the D Activator in there..”
On the Railhammer Chisel
“The Chisel is comparable in output to the JB but tighter in the lows, without the upper midrange peak that gives the JB its distinctive lead tone.”
