Dean Isle (trying out the Dean pickups)

It was too boring to just talk and demo the pickups, so I did an instrumental instead.

rhythm track is both pickups on.

left channel is the Dimebucker (bridge -- brighter sound) -- except at the end I think I switched sides...

right channel is the Invader (neck -- warmer thicker)

all tracks recorded through the Marshall/OD2 with the gain on 2

tuned to C# (C# F# B E G# C#)




hit some wrong notes and the new strings aren't quite done stretching, but you can hear the different tones....

Great tones Z

Especially that new pickup...nice and warm and a creamy sound which still has clarity..no muddiness.

The 2 work well together also for the power chords.

O YES! Sound is very good Z!
Clear and full.

I guess "gain on 2" is to better hear the tone???
Maybe i need to pull some gain out of my tone? I allways have it on 10!

Enjoyed Z..thank you.

Thanks Peter and Dace.
Yeah, I like the new pickup. The two work well together.

The Dimebucker is almost like a single coil in its brightness which is why I usually run high-gain
or a bit of fuzz with it.

All my guitars are pretty close to setup now....
just need to double-check intonation and action and such to dial them in.

Really nice sounding guitar that Dean, Z! Love the way you recorded it. The sound hits you from all directions! Ace

Thanks Steve. I was just going to play a little and talk ("this is the neck pickup...") but that just seemed
lame. More fun to do it this way.

Of course in a real song I would use different amp settings and/or amps and FX, but since I was showing off the
pickups I wanted to leave the rest the same, so the only FX I really used was reverb.

The Dimebucker shines with some fuzz or higher gain settings. It sounds a little thin in this piece.

Really liking the Invader, and how they both sound together.
