Hey all. Im a fairly new DiMarzio player. I am slowly after years swaying from active pups to passive and to date I've got four guitars with DiMarzio's in 'em. Two of which I have Deactivators in both a Jackson King and RR1. Both USA. Both same woods and Floyd. In the V they are crushing both live and in the studio. The RR for whatever reason is a little on the 'thuddy' side in comparison and lacks the harmonics and mids I get from the V. Is there a recommendation something comparable to the Deact's? Thinking Evolution in the bridge and not sure about neck. High gain/metal/shred use. Thanks everyone!

The Evolution can have a very piercing, trebly tone in the wrong guitar. Just be aware.
The Evo 2 could also work and you might also want to check out the Dominion and Titan.

As for the neck one of my absolute favorites is the Super 2. It's a spot on early Gilbert/Racer X neck tone. Super shreddy and fluid, it was born to do fast picking, sweeping and tapping on.

Hey guys,this question coincides with the post.What woods are the super & super 2 balanced in

I've only used them in basswood but they sound great there.
