Dragonfire Screamers vs DiMarzio X2N - METAL!

[@tobins6800]

Awesome vid. Can hear very little difference on my end. Now for the vid request that you knew was coming. Dragonfire vs Dragonfire.

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

Thanks. It's a slight difference. I could only really hear it when the guitars were in solo. Dragonfire vs Dragonfire? Maybe. Got a 7 string set of Crusaders on their way.

[@baadrqaaba9529]

I like the song a lot , i couldn't hear the difference at all , i tried closing my 👀 but i didn't notice a thing . Awesome video again .

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

Thanks! It's a slight difference for sure. And you can't really tell in the mix.

[@lordhumungous7908]

I like the Screamers. The X2N sounds scooped of mids. Thanks.

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

I agree. And I have long been a fan of the X2N.

[@wathmas]

Great vid and an honest comparison. To my ears the difference is not really noticeable, but in the room with the amp may be different . In a blindfold test most wouldn't be able to tell the difference . Just goes to show how far these 'OTHER MANUFACTURERS' have come when a budget pickup can stand toe to toe with one of the popular pickups ever made . I had one back in the 80's in a V, nothing came close back then.. Now this ,lol

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

Thanks for the compliment! The Screamers are great.

[@TheDeedeeFiles]

Sounds great man Have a good day.

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

Thanks!

I have a Screamer in the neck of the guitar in my profile pic. And a Screamer in the bridge of a cheap guitar I got on Amazon.

[@kevinbillingsley8256]

Impressive! That's the first time I've heard anything that can go toe to toe with the X2N. I still think the X2N was a bit more defined and articulate on single notes but it was very difficult to tell the difference.

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

I was pleasantly surprised myself. I was sure the X2N would crush the Dragonfires.

[@jasonjones2769]

Were the screamers brighter

[@amazingthingsfromaroundthe2057]

Have you tried some of the unbranded SD invader clones off of eBay and Amazon?

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

I have, but this was before I started doing KZbin videos. I do have a set of Dragonfire Crusaders in my 7 string Rhoads. Those are great pups. I did a video on those vs. Nazgul.

[@1peanut]

I have an x2n in the bridge. what to put in the neck ? Ibanez RG 550. Edited my comment for an Update. I put a Super 3 in the neck. The x2n is 510mv output and the super 3 is 435mv. The tone shift i get when switching between pups is fantastic and no output or volume loss. it is like these 2 pickups were made for each other.

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

Good question. I don't have a recommendation. I rarely use my neck pickups.

[@danielmunoz6020]

DiMarzio D Activator, trust me dude :D

[@1peanut]

@@danielmunoz6020 I had a DiMarzio super 3 laying around which i put in. Havent strung it up yet. waiting on strings from sweetwater. but the X2N is 510 mv output and the Super 3 is 435 mv output. should be a good match. the D activator is 470 also a close match in output. so if this Super 3 don't get it i will order the D activator. Thanks.

[@SDVN74]

X2N seemed to have slight more clarity, but seriously in a party setting or bar or any venue no way you will tell a difference, and for the price difference no brainier..

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

Very true.

[@SDVN74]

I've been shopping a pickup upgrade for my lespaul studio, I've been comparing dragonfire screamers to duncan black winter pups, money isn't the issue, I can afford the duncans. I went dragonfire screamers there just wasn't a big enough difference to justify the upcharge.

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

@@SDVN74 right on.

[@saltpeter7429]

Just ordered screamers to replace the seymore Duncan's in my 08 Jackson DK2m. I think the JB and 59 are wired wrong because they sound weak. Oh well, pull em out and use em in something else or sell em. Lookin forward to screamers, green and black zebra! Rad.

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

I think that's a great idea! I think you'll be happy. Good luck!

Thank you very much brother!!!

[@tch8787]

Wow those screamers have a great grind to them

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

Yeah, they really surprised me! I thought the X2N would crush them!

dragonfire versus legendary pickups and guitarmory pickups

[@jasonjones2769]

I was surprised you picked the screamers i was going to think you liked the DiMarzio

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

I was surprised myself. The X2N has long been my favorite passive. I thought it would crush the Screamers.

[@pistolpete7280]

The screamers sounds so much better. More natural and warm

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

I was surprised by the Screamers. I agree, they sound better.

[@deathsquadrec]

did they sound this similar at home?

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

I'm not sure I understand the question.

[@flamedmahoganytable9749]

@@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076 did they sound different in the room

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

@@flamedmahoganytable9749 I wouldn't want to speculate without actually setting up a room mic. Maybe I'll do that in the future.

[@jorge_tati]

wooow

[@thephoenixcycle8854]

I can't tell the difference

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

Yeah, it's very slight.

[@amazingthingsfromaroundthe2057]

Screamers sound more defined and articulate. XN2 sound muddy and too much bass. Screamers sound better.

[@mikefrombloodofthewolf7076]

Yeah, I agree. And the X2N had long been my favorite passive pickup...
