Alright, so I've heard a few stories of people saying that their high powered pickups didn't really come out so great through the PodXT...

Now thing is, I'm considering getting a new guitar soon, and this little ''myth'' has been annoying me a bit as I play and record 90% of the time through my POD... Personally I have a Dimebucker right now, sounds really heavy, but I'm under the impression that it's has so much output that's it's creating a little extra fizz in the POD... (I know that the POD inherently has some fizz)

So what about it!? Will we "bust" this "myth"!? (I should stop watching TV... )

Also, how do Air Nortons in the Bridge react to high-gain? I've heard a few samples but I couldn't make it out that much...

Its a very unique choice to have an air norton in the bridge based on the need of lower output. Why not try a paf7? Those come in with a k7 and are lower output pickups but pretty nice and clear.

EDIT: Just realized - you didnt state whether your next guitar was a 6/7 so take my advice accordingly.

My main guitar has EMG 707's. My other 7 that's been getting lots of love lately has a Blaze Custom in the bridge. They both sound pretty badass through my XTL, but definately a bit different. I always have to drop the mids with my 7621 with the BC.

I think they both sound heavy as hell and relatively tight. You're not really going to eliminate the POD's fizz, but I haven't had an issue with my pups creating more. It's all in how you program the POD. You can always tweak the high end a bit.

Also, as far as Air Nortons in the bridge go, I just don't see them being good bridge pups. I know alot of people use the Blaze neck in the bridge to get some solid tone.
