Please post clips on Soundcloud
Makes the most sense because all the people with iPhones/ipads cannot listen to soundclick.
Just saying....

my favorite one! Sounds more like VHII than the VHI. I prefer the VHII tone - that's what this reminds me of

thank you for not using a floyd

but the dimarzio....i'm gonna have to pass. never will i put another dimarzio in a guitar unless it's the hs-2 i already own in a strat middle position for the middle/bridge ej tone.

but the clip is killer!

but it sounds great. i want to try an SD in my RG

 

[Axe-Man]

Wow...it sounds so much like the recorded VH tone it's just not funny.

You are seriously THE KING of creating VH inspired amps.

 

[RockNRun]

Just beautiful as usual. The Ed would be proud to have this sound AGAIN.

 

[EchelonEngineering]

I've come to the conclusion that its silly to rule out any pickup brand or model. Seeing as every guitar is different and your overall tone is created by the interaction of all of its components, what doesn't work in one (or many) situations doesn't mean it won't work well in another.
Two examples that come to mind for me are the Dimarzio Super Distortion and Tone Zone. A friend recently dropped a Dimarzio SD in his PRS SC245 and I teased him unmercifully...until I fired it up. I have never cared for that pickup but it was perfect in this guitar...I was left scratching my head and apologizing for the hard time I gave him. A few years back I had the same experience with the Tone Zone. I bought an old Charvel mutt that had one in it which I planned to replace. When the guitar arrived, I was surprised at how good it sounded...I had never cared for that pickup before. I still decided that I'd go with my old standby Duncan Custom...it came back out the same day and the TZ went back in and its still there.

BTW, great sounding amp! Darren was right on with his asessment (VHII is my favorite Ed tone as well).

man, i thought the same thing and have spent a lot of time trying pickups, swapping magnets etc and there is something with a DSD that makes me think Ed actually used one! if you haven't or even if you have its worth trying or at least revisiting for VH.
