What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Red Velvet
“I think I want more midrange out of the Red Velvet (I'm gonna go for a twangbanger) and I want more treble-bite out of my neck and mid single coils..”
“I have a set of the Red Velvets in a Strat, and I get the feeling they call it "velvet" because the highs are punchy, but the high-highs are soft like cotton, and not Strat like at all.”
On the Seymour Duncan Twang Banger (APST-1)
“That Twang Banger can bite my arm off, and it keeps me awake at night...”
“When you have such an open sound with as much punch as the Twang Banger has, in an ash and maple combination it's a pretty stark contrast to the Alnico II Pros.”
