Ive been messing around with alot of different amp settings and pickup height adjustments and finally found a sound I like with my DS7. At first I had it too close and it had a very harsh, "shinky sound", and with it too low I wasnt getting enough harmonics. I have it at a nice medium now and the sound is very clear and precise while not too harsh. Its kinda like a blaze mixed with an EMG. In comparison with my JB7 in my other 7621, here are my thoughts:
JB7-
Rounder, slightly fuller sound
Looser, more open bass, nice smooth highs
Clear, but not as tight sound
DS7-
Tighter, more focused sound
Lots of mids and treble with tight bass
Super clarity, a bit EMG like
Ive found I like a bit less mids dialed in with the DS7 than my JB7. With the DS7 I can scoop out alot of mids and still have a good tight sound, while with the JB7 if I scoop out too much mids I lose the punchy sound I like. After A/B'ing the two guitars back and forth, Ive set my amp to a happy medium where both guitars sound good with the same settings. I dont know if Ive found my perfect sound, but I like both pickups alot. Id still like to try out an Evo7 and X2N7, but I dont want to get rid of my JB7 or DS7. Maybe I should buy two more 7621s and have them all! I like that idea
