Ok guys, just installed my SH15 Yesterday....

And that's an instant classic ^^

In my Vigier Indus, wanted a replacement for the EVO2 / EVo, which like all the ceramic pickups sounded good with distortion but cold as hell on the clean / Crunch channel. Like most DIMarzio's...

So SH2 in the Neck, And the A8 sounded a good way to have this "warm" duncan sound with enough output to play both heavy and classic rock.

The first thing that was really visible with the A8 is its similarity to the JB.
It's a TYPICAL duncan sound, which is good. Warm, clear, versatile.
But it's NOT a JB. Clearer, it doesn't have this midraneg spike and low end
mudiness. The sound remains clear and over the top, brigt but never harsh.
So if it had to be compared i'd say it's the righ blend between what people expect
from both teh JB and DIstortion. Output, striking rythm one, good cleans, and singing leads.

My guitar is 100% equilibrated, so the pikups response is very clear.
I bet it would sound KILLER in my Les paul, or any mahogany guitar as well, since it
would make the BASS sound both heavy and tight, which only the L500 XL and sh12 do.
In Strat or Tele type giutars, generally bright, one woul probably use 250k pots
to avoid an exagerate treble response, but the pickup isn't harsh so it would prbably work.

In "superstrat" type guitars, which is the case here, it's SO versatile.
Wanna sound like an 1980's shredder ? You will and probably better...
Want to play Classic Rock ? You can, and will get enough FAT.
Like Funk ? Well good match, the Split position is SO bright,
with a sparkling attack, it gives amazing cleans and with my
Qtron awesome funky riffs.

Is there something this pickup can't do ?
Honestly, no. It's probably as versatile as the JB,
and it's Alnco type sound makes it a good match with my
JAZZ but would probably be equally good with a pearly gates or 59,
or full shred...

This pickups, to me, plays in the PRO league ^^
The only pickups i have that sounded THAT good are the
Bill Lawrence L500-L, Screaming Demon, 59 and Super V.
These pickups are not only good at delivering one type of sound
(one trick ponies usually get boring after 1 or 2 months),
but they are also brilliant at giving you any type of sound.

In short, if you need a relpacement pickup, whatever you want,
and even more if you're not sure, go for the A8, you can't go Wrong.
Thumbs up to SD once more, i own 10 guitars and 8 of them now
have SD's (the remaining ones are a tele with stock fender and a
Burny with a Bill Lawrence). Sold all my Dm's, EMG's and others.
In the future.... Well nothing, i finally found the right pickup
for each of my guitars, so i would have to buy one more to try
new pickups ^

Anyway, the goal is to get inspiring intruments that
make you wanna play more and more, and here i am...
Can't put my guitars down, and trust me it seriousely
gets on my girlfriend's nerves ^^

Одна катушка 9.4кОм, вторая 9.6кОм, в сумме 19кОм. Есть медный экран на катушках.

А почему у катушек разнится сопротивление?Это фича такая?

Вот потому они и "пофанивают" изрядно, и с микрофоном (иногда), коли не стремятся к полной симметрии.

Азнаур, ты в какой конфигурации слушал? Поты, темброблок были?
