Hey guys,

I just installed the new DiMarzio Titan 7 pickups and recorded this vídeo. These pickups are awesome. Very similar to the 6 string version. Hope you enjoy:

The Pickup Place / Re: DiMarzio Ionizer 7 vs Illuminator 7 | Comparison

To me the difference is mostly in the attack where the Illuminator seems to be more present. I also hear more clarity in the arpeggiated chords.

Cheers Stephan

I agree.

Both are great pickups!

Thank you for the comments, guys

Hey guys,

I changed the Ionizers that I had in my Jeff Loomis and took the oportunity to record a comparison between the Ionizer Bridge and the Illuminator Bridge.

Which of them do you prefer?

The Pickup Place / Re: CrunchLab 7 bar towards bridge?

« on: October 19, 2015, 06:35:25 AM »

I recently bought an Ibanez RGA 7 (mahogany body, 5 piece maple/walnut bolt on neck) with CrunchLab/LiquiFire combo off craigslist. The CrunchLab was installed with the bar towards the neck and sounded muddy and undefined. I turned the pickup around and it is one of the best pickups I've ever heard. It has bite and saturation for days, and note definition is incredible. Is there something off with the pickup?

I had the same experience with this guitar:

Definitely the CL7 in mahogany works better with the bar towards the bridge.
