Title: What has a bigger more open distorted sound - Holy Diver Bridge or Miracle Man?
Post by: Chargrilled on January 08, 2016, 07:13:20 PM

I'm kinda shifting away from the Warpigs having listened to loads of clips, I think I need something more rounded. With this in mind which out of the Holy Diver and Miracle Man can do that big distorted sound, but not squawky or thin, still thick sounding. (I'm going for Holy Diver in the neck by the way, guitar is Mahogany Ibanez).

Thanks again!

P.s musical styles : Smashing Pumpkins, Limp Bizkit, Korn, Trivium, POD, QOTSA, Deftones

Well, the musical style calls more for the MM and the crushing low mids that one has make sure that the palm mutes really hit hard and give you a big sound.

I'd also be inclined to say Miracle Man here. It has a more prominent bottom end and low mids whereas the mids on the Holydiver are across the board. The guitar may be mahogany but if it's an S series Ibanez the wood is so thin it has little impact so the Miracle Man will give it back some real body.

Hmmm it's really tough, the MM's sound great but someone just posted a killer clip of the HD bridge....

The mm has the most livley sound and its top end gives it a little sizzle.
I did  a direct hd mm comparison vid lower down the threads.
