Deciding between the Super 3 and D Activator-X in the bridge. Need some comparison between them. Stricken Posted August 31, Nephilim Posted August 31, I played this axe stock with several amps Classic 50 and ValveKing at the shop, and sustain and harmonics were uncomparably worse to similar guitars with D Activators or EMGs on them. If you have speaker out's. If not, wait until you upgrade.
I have used external cabinets with many combo's in the past. I like at the minimum a closed back 2x12 with Vintage 30's. Most of my combo's where either 1x12 or 2x12 open backed. I like closed backed cabs for metal.
Actually, the amp sounds great with volume set to one, and has enough power to make the glass in the windows shake at three no, it's not just my room But the sound starts to clip and distort not the harmonic distortion we use on guitars, the bad, cheap radio-like one at just the second level of loudness.
All this with volume on the pedal set half-way i. It has ten times more power than it can handle. I wonder, is there a way to get a separate cabinet to work with a combo amp? But still, it's quite probably that I will replace the whole setup. But I will do it later The stock pickups are bad. It's not that I want to replace them for extra gain - more for the better tone, sustain and harmonics. I played this axe stock with several amps Classic 50 and ValveKing at the shop, and sustain and harmonics were uncomparably worse to similar guitars with D Activators or EMGs on them the tone was actually ok, but I like the DiMarzios more Also, good pickups cost less than good amplifiers - so pickups go first.
Yeah, that's another problem with my amp - open back Can it be modified? Yes you could, but may not be worth the effort. Echad Posted September 1, Posted September 1, SirJackdeFuzz Posted September 1, I was persuading the guy in the small store that wants to go big and get professional guitars they currently only have starter ones that Ibanez is.

Write a user review. This isn't to say these pickups are bad, just are NOT anything I was looking for and nothing I'd ever buy again. They looked cool, white pickups in a red guitar with black hardware, but looks isn't everything. They're very modern sounding pickups, tight and aggressive but they have this HUGE mid bump to them that to me sounded like a cocked wah on all the time.
No matter what I did I couldn't EQ it out and just sounded horrible. I had these for a few days and just couldn't take it anymore, ripped them out and sold them ASAP. The old X2N had like a 16K output while this one is about 14K. The EQ on the pickup has been changed which is the biggest difference. While the X2N was slanted towards having a high end sound this new pickup has the mids boosted on the sound and the treble dialed back.
This lets the pickup clean up better due to having less harsh high end in the sound. There is also a neck version of this pickups which I think is crazy. I never imaged they would make an X2N for the neck position. I guess modern knowledge has given the makers ability to tame some of their crazy old pickups from back in the day. If you are a fan of the old X2N monster but want a slightly more refined pickup Dimarzio is making it now.
This pickup has the two huge blades that the original X2N had, four conductor wiring and a ceramic magnet shoved inside it. This is pretty much a modern take on the old school X2N of yesteryear. The X2N has been out for a very long time, and this new take on the pickup is very similar to the X2N while still offering some cool new features not found in the original. This helps aid in note clarity. Output voltage, while lowered, it still really high. This thing is guaranteed to slam the front of your amp.
The highs are rolled back …. It has a similar low and midrange to the X2N, so you still get that powerful sound that bands like Death successfully showed. Split coil tones on this are very nice, just like the X2N.
