Favorite Dimarzio bridge pickup for "metalcore"

[Kendalllikevines]

I'd like some opinions on bridge pickups. I have a EBMM JP6 that currently has a crunch lab in the bridge, but I just bought a d-activator for the bridge position. I'm pretty sure everyone's just gonna say go crunch lab, but I think I prefer d-activators. This is the kind of music I play The Winter - Sleeping to Death (ft. Dylan of Learned Hand) - YouTube (excuse the poor recording quality). Any opinion on Dimarzios is welcome. Thanks.

I use a D-Activator for progressive metal and metalcore and it suits me just fine

You may want to try turning the crunch lab around with the bar toward the bridge though, since this will give you a bit more attack and tighter bass

I was going to suggest the d-activator, so...

Just go with it.

Thanks guys. I had d-activators in my RGD2120z I traded away and they sounded great so I think I'm gonna go back to those.

In my old band I used the D-Sonic. It was pretty good but when I changed to D-Activators it was a different ball game.

I am usually the guy to suggest the EMG 85/60 combo(or any combo involving 85 in the bridge, really).

But the D-activator is equally great. lol

The d-activator has this amazing metallic and bassy tone to it that doesn't get overly treble driven/high end. I've never been able to get that with other pickups.

Lol, I was gunna say D Activator too.

First unanimous SSO thread ever?
