Hey All,
So after having my 13 for a week now and really spending almost all the time just playing with the pups I have to say I love em....no fanboy crap here...they are great!
I had the pleasure of calling and speaking to Steve B at Dimarzio the other day about them as well. What a great guy, total guitar nerd moment but im a nerd so....
Even though they are "modeled" after the CL/LF I still stick to my opinion that these are different beasts. Steve seems to think they would get closer to the other set if you took out the preamp as the preamp changes the voicing a tad and some of the EQ.....But to me they are very different in a very good way. Its not just a CL/LF with a preamp.
Clear, precise, open, airy, tight, aggressive and raw are the best words I can describe....Im hunting my next JP now for a purchase in September (Earl Xmas, this way if I spend a ton on me then I wont get the stink eye from the 4 kids under the xmas tree when we compare gifts...lol) and I may just pull the trigger on a fully loaded JP6 but wait for the Illuminators to come in stock and install them on it....they are that good....
I have been a lifetime Dimarzio player. 25 years of playing rock/metal and I have owned just about every Dimarzio there is and these are just the next level.....If you see a 13 near you try it out........
