DiMarzio Illuminator 7 - Metal

Signal chain:
Ibanez RG7421 (MIJ 2000 with DiMarzio Illuminators 7) - Kemper profiling amp (Keith Merrow Rhodes amp) - Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 - Cubase
DiMarzio Illuminator tech talk:
In keeping with John’s desire to increase the difference between neck and bridge pickup sounds, the Illuminator 7™ Bridge Model does three things: it opens up the mids, bumps the highs up a notch, and tightens the lows. The open midrange allows overdriven sounds to be powerful without harshness, while the tighter bass response avoids muddy lows.

Excellent playing. My RG7421 arrives tomorrow, and I was strongly leaning toward installing Illuminators in it. After listening to you, I think it's a no-brainer!

I have the same guitar, I gotta say, those stock pickups suck lol. Bought some new ones for it, looking forward to getting some new fridge magmets out of the old ones lol.
Sounds great! I was hoping to hear the neck pickup?

Nice guitar and playing. How do you find the play-ability of this guitar compared to say your RGD2127? I coming from a prestige 6 and want a 7. Thanks

+Ben S Thanx! Both are fantastic guitars but I prefer the 25,5" scale of this guitar (the RGD has an 26.5" scale) especially when I play strechy stuff. The quallity of them are pretty much the same.
@Niclas Karlsson Hej! bra video, gillar ljudet! Tänkte sätta in Illuminator micarna i den 6 strängade varianten av den Ibanez du använder i videon. Var det några problem med installation av micarna eller gick det bra? Vet att jag behöver de micarna som är för 6 strängad :)

Tjena! Tackar! På just denna gitarren fick jag karva bort lite trä eftersom mickarna var lite för djupa. Dock är Dimarzios mickar för 7-strängat platta i botten till motsats till 6-strängsvarianterna som är av traditionell typ. Jag har Crunchlab/Liquifire på en 6:a och det var inga som helst problem. :)
hi niclas...are focusrite 2i4 and kemper good match? I have 2i4, should I go for a better audio interface (rme babyface pro or apollo twin usb) or kemper?

Hey man! Right on. Good question!? Got any experience playing a X2N or D-Activator, or any hot Humbucker with single coils for some tight metal? Testament influenced. Got a Jackson H-S-S setup but gutting it today and buying local DiMarzio single coils for Middle and neck...

I have D-Activator in one guitar and they're quite nice. A bit to high output for my taste but pretty flat in the eq so it's easy to dial in a good sound.

@Niclas Karlsson I typed the whole thing wrong multi-tasking at home. I wanted to ask if you, if you tried single coils with any of these Humbuckers. After single coils with my D-Activator and X2N.

If you had it to do over again would you buy these pickups? If not, what would you suggest?

+Joseph Bailey Actually I'm a Seymour Duncan guy but I wanted green pups in this guitar for the Visuals and it was easier to buy colored DiMarzios instead of Duncans ( custom shop ... ) but they are really good and I like them. Very tight and clear sound. If not I think I would put in SD Custom or Distortion in the bridge and 59 or jazz in the neck.

Niclas Karlsson Nice, I was looking at the Nagzul Sentient set. I have an RG7420 and heard you have to grind out some material in the pickup recesses on this guitar. Do you know by chance?
@NiclasKarlssonguitarswe

I think for some reason the DiMarzios are "deeper" or what you call it but compare the heights on their webpages. If the Nazgul/Sentient are as high as the DiMarzios I'm afraid you have the carve out som Wood... But basswood isn't a hard Wood and I'm sure that pup combo will sound great.

Niclas Karlsson Sweet, well I'm thinking the Duncans may be the way I go. It's come down to the Crunchlab/Liquifire, Titans, and the Nagzul/Sentient set. STill on the fence as I haven't played any of them. Just heard sound bytes.
There are differences between the actual Ibanez RG 7421 and yours ??

Hi! They were a little bit deep so I had to carve out som wood. Maybe if your guitar is one of the new 7421 you maybe don't have to do that. Good luck!
