  • then i have to modifie my guitar ?? or how can i combine the pickups , true velvet , air norton and the crunch lab??thats the way which i can obtain that clean sound isnt it??

  • @osmar3823

    Please email us at tech@dimarzio.com for a wiring diagram. Be sure to let us know the exact model of your guitar.

  • sorry larry , i have another question , im searching a middle pickup for a clean sound similar to the petruccis sound ... can you recomend me a single coil pickup(middle) for that kind of sound by it self or convining it with the air norton s or a crunch lab please??

  • @osmar3823

    John's clean sound is based on the combination of 2 humbuckers in split mode. A single-coil by itself will not produce the same sound. You could try a True Velvet middle pickup (DP175S) in the middle, which should combine with both the neck and bridge pickups.

  • hi larry , sorry but this is my poroblem : i have a jackson dinky but the problem in the pickups is that the neck pickup is a single coil and i dont like it , i want to change it for a humbucker oviously in a single coil format and i want a pickup with the most similar sound to the liquifire , can yo give some options please??

  • @osmar3823

    The Air Norton S is the most similar model.

  • Waaaaaaaaaaaaay too much gain and delay, the tone is so overprocessed it sounds very muddy. I kinda miss his Ibanez days, he had a much crisper, dynamic tone and there was much more fusiony phrasing in his playing.

  • the tuner there is like "WTF! slow down petrucci!"

  • looks like hes playing out of a fucking computer server or some shit

  • too much effects...

  • He can rape any guitar in one second!!

  • more chorus or delay! 

  • Does anyone know what kind of tuner is on his rig?

  • He sure knows his scales lol!!!

  • he's talented, he doesn't need the bridge of the god dam starship enterprise behind him. TOO MANY EFFECTS.

  • @trollster94

    haha, exactly what I was thinking dude! If any of us sat in one we'd spin straight off as soon as we touched the thottle...

  • on a completely anal note, f1 cars are fast, but not easy to drive.
