Finally got the ability to get recordings onto PC, so recorded this as a test - apologies for the quality (didn't spend any time on amp settings, mic placement etc), the scr@ppy playing & the Obituary inspired riff :-)
-
Good old Obituary :twisted: I love them because it's easy to play and it's great when you are bored and want to annoy your neighbors :lol:
Nice to ear that kind of HolyDiver sample.
-
Wooo Metal Holy Divers, i always wanted to know what they sound like.
-
Would like to hear a clip of the HD doing some stuff like Dio, VH, Accept etc :D Was this in your strat?
-
^ lol
Quite funny how nobody has done any Dio even though the pickup is named after a Dio song!
-
I know, if I got this pickup, Holy Diver is the first clip I'd do.. just like if I got a Cold Sweat I'd do that one, and I'm planning on doing a Gov't Mule clip with my Mules when I get a good mic..
-
damn, thats some HEAVY metal. What kinda amp where you runnin?
-
I got a question too, do you roll off the tone like Obituary used to do back in the days? (89... I feel... old :cry: )
-
Was this in your strat?
No, I used my Les Paul Goldtop (chrome HD set)

Thanks :lol: Mesa single Rectifier, Mesa 2x12", close-mic'd with SM-57.

No, everything on 10 :) - I probably had a sludgy amp setting & could've placed the mic better....
-
OK, here is an even quicker & dirtier Holy Diver clip. I was trying to get a slightly more "rockier" tone when I buggered my strat :( so I swapped back to the Les Paul Goldtop (chrome HD set) & played the first Dio that came into my head.
My memory of Dio is rather vague - IIRC saw them at Manchester Apollo on the Dream Evil tour & at Donnington '87 :lol: but I was always more of a thrash fan - we really need Feline or Twilight (or Tim!) to knock up some HD clips for the '80s rock vibe... :)
Enjoy, I'm off to repair the strat :roll:

Holy shite, I didnīt know that the HD could go that extreme. Quite a spicey pickup.

80's ruled, your clips rule, i want a holy diver!
-
I didn't know HD's could sound that extreme either and i've owned a set for a while now! :lol:

I think that a lot of people have the wrong idea about the Holy Diver.
It's a seriously punchy, powerful pickup with plenty of output (more than a Nailbomb), a massive thick tone & tons of low/mids.
Actually, I think Tim is missing a trick (from a marketing perspective) with the name Holy Diver - When I think "Dio", I think of lights/pyros, Vinnie Appice's massive drum kit, & little Ronnie smiting papier maché dragons with his plastic sword :lol: but I don't always remember that before he became anonymous in Def Leppard, Vinnie Campbell was a serious lead guitarist who could shred with the best of them - perhaps that was what Tim had in mind when he chose the name... :)
Either way, much as I like the MM & NB, the HD is my favourite - the unsung hero of BKPs :)
