well the Dimebucker is cool and has a slight punch to it, but is lacking bass and has too much top end (hence it is too bright) and it is uber scooped which ain't what im looking for. it does dime's sound very well, but no scope for your own sound :(
i use it through a Behringer GM108 which is an AWESOME amp.... analog modelling, enough gain, etc etc. i have 2 pickups which sound great in it (both unbranded) but the Dimebucker seems too scooped and too weak for my liking.
i also use it through an MG250DFX (don't laugh, i was a naive noob when i bought it!) and that turns any pickup to shitee, so i can't comment there!

EDIT: maybe not to shitee, but very bad, and all pickups i put through it sound the same, which sucks.
