What players and reviewers say
On the Seymour Duncan Black Winter
“It doesn't have as much of a dramatic low-end rolloff as the Black Winter, but it not a fat bassy pickup like the X2N.”
“The Black Winter and Distortion sound similar too, I hear the high end clarity on the Black Winter:.”
On the Seymour Duncan Distortion (SH-6)
“the Super D and DD are two VERY different sounding pickups.”
Comparing with DiMarzio Super Distortion
“The DD is very different from the SD. As mentioned the DD is tight, percussive and hot, while the SD is big warm and fuzzy.”
