I seen many posts on these pickups and they don't seem to be as popular as the nailbomb or warpig but these pickups are frigging great.

Slightly less output than the Dimarzio Air Zone i had in the bridge position. Picking dynamics shine through alot better and when playing legato phrases you can even hear your fingers accent certain notes. Even though the output isn't as high as the Air Zone the Holy Diver sounds 'heavier' much more 'chug' in the sound. Reminds me of John Petrucci's kind of sound.

Haven't wired the neck pickup correctly yet so i'll edit this post soon to give a short review of the neck position.


hooooly diiiiver!  :evil:

Edit: forgot to add that they really clean up well when turning the volume down a bit.

How is the bass response compared to the MM or Cold Sweat?

Couldn't tell you mate, i've never played a guitar with those in.

I would do clips, but my 8 track has buggered up on me so i need to go about fixing that first.

when i get some free time. I'll try and record some clips using my mates computer programs to record. I'll be using my ADA MP-1 preamp and it's stupidly versatile so i'll do clean, mildy dirty and really dirty clips just so you can hear the versatility of the pickups.

Both the Miracle Man and the CS have more bass response than the Holy Diver. I would say that the Cold Sweat has about 10% more bass, and the Miracle Man an additional 15%; not a tremendous amount, but certainly noticeable if you're playing through a 1/2 stack. (And why wouldn't you be playing through a 1/2 stack?!!!)
