Funny enough Marty has a signature pickup set but it doesn't sound right in anyone's guitars unless you run it without tone pots connected.....
For his signature models, he said he only wanted to a single knob but they told him it would sell more if he had all of the others so he agreed.
He...
On a serious note - that really sucks man, sorry to hear it. Had a scare like that once but was fortunate enough to catch it in time so nothing happened to my amp.
The 60 has a slightly different peak as it were.
It's like comparing steel to copper in the way they shine.
Both shine, but in a slightly different way.
I don't think you would be disappointed with the mix - especially in a closed back scenario.
Open, natural, uncompressed - these are words that come to mind when I think of my Planet Tone humbuckers.
My DiMarzios, like others have mentioned, are the furthest from "let's the guitar itself shine", I enjoy them a lot but they definitely sound like the pickups more than the guitar if that...
How cool is that?
This is an ongoing thread, so I will be posting various findings as I update cables, change the rig slightly, etc.
I do find the AV60 mix rather enjoyable though overall for whatever reason, I just come back to solely the AV75s for my current setup but dial some stuff down a...
The AV75s do indeed have a certain top-end definition that can be a bit intense - though it can basically be dialed back/out.
Mixed in the M65 and there was too much 'something' on the top end for my tastes for my Rivera but works pretty well with a Marshall.
Disliked the M65 on it's own...
The AV75s have an extension that is unreal.
Yeah, I can see where the top end could warm up just a touch - as you said - developing nigh on the perfect speaker here.....
Using open or ported cabinet, it lets the mids breathe much more in the 75s and pushes the top end back.
In a closed...
I do not think you will be displeased with the AV60 mix. It adds a certain mid squish under the fingers that the AV75 doesn't quite have. I think this combination has a pleasing cleanand overdrive tone, though I found a certain squish in various bass frequencies, I am not certain it is...
@Overdrive 1 Joping to get the AV60 testing done today at volume and see what the results are. Will let you know for sure. My initial thoughts are that the added extra high mids are going to be a bit much, but I could be wrong. We shall see!
I play a pretty snappy clean tube amp setup a decent amount and love throwing the proper OD or Dist on top. One of my favorites right now is the Hatter's OD by Griffin Analog.
I have already done some testing on my little Marshall, which is a JCM 800 style circuit but Mosfet instead of tube.
That being said - AV75s mixed with the 90s adds too much bottom end in areas I do not like.
Mind you, this is in 2 separate cabs running like a 4x12 instead mixed in the same...
