How do you think the Fast Track 2 would sound in the mid against a Tone Zone S at the neck?...I adjust my mid pickup down low so Im not hittin it with my pick so Im figurin if the Tone Zone is rated at 300 & the Fast Track 2 is at 321 the offset in height adjustment between mid & neck could even them out to 300...However,I did noticed in your demo that the FastTrack 2 sounded kinda shrill & high pitched at the bridge so Im not sure it will deepen the tone enough puttin it in the mid position..
@frethand101 That's a tough question. Fast Track 2 is kind a harsh sounding and it's definitely not clean, but the tone also depends on what kind of amp you are using. For this video I used a small practice amp and it's not very good sounding.
Did you adjust the amp or pedal settings at all when you went between the 5 pickup positions, or was the difference in the sound you were producing based only on which pickups you were using? Seems like a huge jump in gain once you get to Fast Track 2 on its own!
how do 10s compare to 9s on strats? i have a strat with 9s and im thinking of uping to 10s but im really not sure. is there a big difference in tone? or is it easier to hammer and pull off?
I truly believe that on a strat, the thicker the strings are, the better the tone is. Stevie Ray Vaughan used 13's and thats one of the reasons he sounded like he did, just a thicker chunkier tone, of course it takes a lot of getting used to to be able to play thicker strings, you have to work your way up through the different sets, i use 11-54 guage Earnie Ball strings, and it sounds awesome.

Fast Track is louder than Area pickups.
But I didn't change anything I was to lazy to do that :D

Too much blues for the Fast Track 2. It's really designed for Hard Rock and Metal, but I guess it could work for heavy blues too.

Ibanez FGM 300 has DiMarzio Fast Track 1.
FT1 has more trebles and is not so loud as FT2 but they both are really great pickups.

Grettings friend, need i the 500k pot for the fast tack 2?

@PoseidonGuitar
DiMarzio recomends to use 500k pots for Fast Track 2
I use standard Stratocaster pots. That's 250k I guess.
500k sounds brighter and 500k pots are important if you use your volume control much.

GHS Boomers 10-46
I used a 15W Smarvo amp (a small crappy amp made in Taiwan) and Boss BD-2 Blues Driver Overdrive Pedal
I just tryed to make a real quick video to put something in myspace.
The editing took longer than recording :D

I haven't use 9s for a while, but I don't think there's much difference between them.
But I'm sure that 10s have more sustain than 9s
