What players and reviewers say
On the Seymour Duncan Dimebucker (SH-13)
“I prefer to run an EQ in the loop to boost low end on it, so that way when you switch guitars like say to the Dimebucker your bass setting on your amp won't be too much.”
“I have one in my Soloist and its different from the Dimebucker or X2n which have the tight low end chainsaw sound, but if your lookin for palm mutes and heavy riffage, the Alt8 can do no wrong.”
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.”
