Dimarzio X2N7 Clip

Ryan · 09-24-2006, 09:18 PM

Here's a clip of my new 7620 with a X2N7 in the bridge.
I used the PODxt and a Tubescreamer with a Boss NS-2 in front of all that.
I also added a little more midrange than usual cause im experimenting for more notey tones (this clip not being notey or anything.)

Clip

EDIT:

That clip sounds remarkable, I cant believe thats just a PODxt and a Tube Screamer.

Nice man, I was thinking about getting that pickup in my rg1527 and my s7420. How do you like the feel of that pup?

I would try to mic my amp but my micing skillz are teh raunchy. It would sound like piss. If someone want to help me out on that science i will definitely mic something for ya. :/

O yah, and a lot of people were wondering what the X2N7 sounded like clean.. So i smooshed a little clean diddy at the end for them.. Thats the X2N7 split with a stock New7 Neck.

ok what about a interface? Like got anything to plug the mic into?

Ryan · 09-24-2006, 09:34 PM

Mic

No interface on a USB... cept the Samson Pre, which is nothing but a digital gain slider i think, and a phase button.

Jason · 09-24-2006, 09:35 PM

ok what do you plug the mic into?

Ryan · 09-24-2006, 09:39 PM

Straight into the computer d00d.
Its a USB mic.. Im confused lol

a drr got ya dude sorry. Ok what about software?

Ryan · 09-24-2006, 09:45 PM

I use the Samson Pre, and then into Sonar 5 PE, and then into Adobe Audition for post editing

Whenever i mic, it sounds either way too fizzy (and i know to cut back gain and treble)
or like its in a toilet bowl.
When i try to position the mic, moving it makes like a EQ shift and i cant get it to where it should be to sound like the true voice of the rig.

alright. set the mic just up against the cab cloth. right in front of the speaker cone. Adjust the eq as neccesary.

Shannon · 09-25-2006, 01:16 AM

Damn, that sounds tight! Thank you!
I think I found my next pickup.

What amp model are you using? That sounds crunchy!

metalfiend666 · 09-25-2006, 05:20 AM

Brutal! Sounds nice clean at the end too. I may have to look into getting one at some point.

Korbain · 09-25-2006, 06:18 AM

Soon Daniel San. Must make clips of my new amp after it arrives Wednesday

AVH · 09-25-2006, 07:58 AM

Shit Ryan, that sounds really good. Mind pm'ing what your TubeS & XT settings are?

rummy · 09-25-2006, 08:02 AM

I'm really surprised with the clean tone. Very usable.

Elysian · 09-25-2006, 10:04 AM

that sounds so brutal man, good clip, really captures the x2n7 pretty well imo. tight, crisp, concise, brutal, great pinch harmonics

Ryan · 09-25-2006, 11:11 AM

Yah, im totally happy with it. Funny thing, when i pulled the PU out of the box, the first thing i noticed is the X2N7 has some serious weight behind it. Its the most physically heavy pickup ive seen..

I'll PM ya Al

Elysian · 09-25-2006, 11:17 AM

try sticking it to the fridge

it makes a great fridge magnet

+1 I've been told that the output is too extreme for such a neat clean tone. But it really sounds cool.
