“The low end is big and punchy, while retaining control and articulation to keep things tight without getting too stiff.”
“You get highs that are big and present with edge to spare, so that you can get your squeals and bite without being an ice pick.”
“I kind of liken the Dominion bridge to a Tone Zone without the boomy bass response, and a little bit quicker and direct.”
“The Dominion has a tighter low end and more of a low mid push compared to the Super D, it is still more than capable for the classic rock thing.”
“The Dominion also has a faster, bolder low-end that's a bit leaner and less stuffy in the low mids.”
“Dimarzio Dominion- Too tight, too much high end (I was rolling the tone knob 3/4 of the way down, to get a useable tone).”
