I've just checked the EQ graph on the Dimarzio website; it's very similar to the AT-1, but just with a bit more of everthing, especially output (435mV vs. 320mV). You don't find it too bassy or loose in the low-end? I'd be a bit hesitant with a Bass graph of '10/10' when the guitar isn't overly...

Yeah, I had the Breed bridge for a while too; it was too polite and smooth indeed. Missed 'hair on its teeth'. This is what the Norton delivers. Even the Andy Timmons signature AT-1 does it pretty well, albeit slightly thicker and warmer than the Norton, but definitely not vanilla/bland.

Nice axe! And I agree, the PAF Pro is very meh indeed. There's a bunch of Dimarzio's that I do like; the Norton (bridge) would probably be awesome for bringing the 80's hair sizzle tone, without any thin or nasal qualities. It doesn't suffer from that cocked wah tone, that a bunch of Dimarzio's...

Dude, usually you're more on point, but you left a perfectly good 'Hellowig'. :geek: \:D/ Or say...Divine Rogaination.

For shits n' giggles, you should look up old and recent pictures of Helloween's Kai Hansen. Hair coloring is one thing; a hairline getting significantly closer to your eyebrows is next level. Oh, and Gus G was rippin' !

Take care man!

Nah, it doesn't look like black mold. Besides, there are none of those brown/murky, wavey water-damage spots on the wood. Most likely the back of the grille plate has been used as an underlayment for spray painting something else black on top of it. A bit late to the game, but since I got my...

Interesting that you mention both Stained Class (one of my absolute fave Priest albums) and Glenn improving. My feeling is that he (and maybe KK too, although I always felt KK was the lesser lead player...more brawling, noodling, instead of thought-out, well-phrased leads) improved a few times...

Agreed. PoM has overall a higher number of quality songs throughout than Powerslave. But...production wise, style-wise, finesse-wise (of where the band was in their 'arc'), I'd recon Powerslave was them at their peak. And yes, I prefer Clive Burr to Nicko, just like I will die defending Les...

That's what I heard as well (on good headphones). 2nd clip reminded me more of AJFA aggression, while the 1st clip sounded a tad bigger/fuller and nicer to my ears.

So, I was off 1 year on both my new guitar purchases, with almost the same guitar the 1st time like yours! :cheers: Got my (still made in Japan) Ibanez S540FM in '97 and in 2009 a Charvel So-Cal Pro Mod. Like yours, that Ibanez has been my main guitar for a very long time...and aside from some...

Released in '98. Saw 'em front row on Dynamo Open Air '98 as well. Engl Savage + Les Paul = epic tone.

There are definitely some bands that peaked after the first 2 or 3: Lääz Rockit. I mean...Know Your Enemy (album #4) is abso-fuckin-lutely PEAK! Or Death... I mean, Leprosy is fun and all...but it ain't no Human or Symbolic (#4 and #6) or...Kreator. Extreme Aggression = #4. Maybe Coma of Souls...

Yeah, looks like Andy Sneap was featured as well...apparently with long hair again, but Richie and Glen were more often shown.

Hmm, I assume you never heard the Priest track 'The Rage' then. :p Btw, I didn't know the bastard love child of Joey DeMaio and Ann Coulter could drum. :eek: Sure sounds cool tho'! 🤘 #howcanimakethisaboutme incoming 😉: I played the song with my band, supporting James Rivera and I did the 'air...

In front of a clean amp. If you run it into a Marshall, best make sure it's set clean. Of course, a little break-up (just a smidge...think clean-ish Knopfler when he digs in, but for sure less than the Brothers in Arms intro) helps in making everything come alive, but yeah, definitely DON'T run...

Look, I won't argue that a Bad Monkey in a Fender amp has its place, tone-wise, but surely -with your experience 😊 - putting a Rat into some clean amp hardly sounds the same to you as playing a nice modded/hotrodded Marshall, right? And this is where a good amp-like pedal delivers. I myself am...

Well, since you used 'Yikes', I felt such an exclamation was more in place for that LA upholstery probing/tearing, that's all. 😉

That's mostly my point too...Together with the fact that you can't replace the tone of the BE-OD Deluxe by just grabbing two not-ideal low and medium drive pedals. Even if you pick really good ones (unlike ahum.. the Rat and the TS9)... I mean, sure, a Boss OD-3 and a Zoom HL-01 Hyper Lead...

I haven't tried the Suhr Eclipse, but one thing that makes the BE-OD Deluxe more interesting over that one, are the additional Presence and Tight controls, per channel! When I run a BE-OD Deluxe into some Fender amps, I have to up the mids more, dial back the bass a lot, to get it to where I...
