I like the SH-5. Honorable mention to the Nazgul. The SH-5 offered beautiful bottom end, with just the right amount of mids to connect the grind to the high end. Note presence was balanced and especially clear in single-note/solo sections. The pick contact sound is ample and seems to be very useable. (LoL their facial expressions indicate user satisfaction, totally)

I know this video is old but I love this great service Keith does for us SD fans. I also wanted to see if my prediction of the JB sounding the best (it did) was true. The SH-5 custom is definitely evil as well. It's just hard to beat that clarity paired with actual dynamics that you get from a JB. Most modern passives are voiced to sound more like the ultra EQ'd and compressed actives. The 6 string shootout with Naguls and Omegas (both of which sound sick af) is an amazing comparison too.

Though while this is a great video to show and compare the various models, a description of what gear was used would have also been helpful. Because the woods of the guitars used is going to play a huge factor in one's decision making, as is what Keith and West were running thru for that tone vs. what the average guy at home is running thru... For example, the Full Shred & Invader may sound more balanced in a brighter sounding guitar, while the Custom and Distortion had been too bright... I mention this, because I am considering a few different combos for pickups for a guitar, and have mixed thoughts on all of them because the guitar they are gonna go in is a little brighter than usual for a basswood body. Therefor, I think the Custom might be too bright, and the Invader might be more suited for what I am looking for. Or the Retribution could be too bright and need something warmer... I just don't want to get a set of pickups, not be happy with them, and be S.O.L. due to only having 21 days to try and test them and return them, when it's going to take a week for me to get the pickups shipped to me, leaving me only 14 days to play and try them. And an even shorter time if one doesn't play every day, or have the time/opportunity to play every day (due to chaotic work schedules, life events, etc...)...

This ladies and gentleman, is why I have the Duncan Custom SH-5 in more of my guitars than any other pickup. Mark Holcomb's Omega recently took over as my favorite passive bridge pickup but the Custom was my go-to pickup for the longest time and still is. It's such a fucking awesome sounding pickup. Tons of snarl, very tight and it cuts extremely well. I love that it gets such a full sound without being overly aggressive on the top end or really barky in the mid range like the JB.

Seems like you're using the same IR/cab for the Distortion, JB, Invader, EMTY and maybe the Custom, and then use unique IRs/cabs for the rest.

had the six string versions of both in my schecter (currently it's the custom in there) and i need a new guitar just to put in the full shred. love both pickups to death, very different, but both soooo awesome. then i still have an sh6 lying around without a guitar to go in...

When I first tried the full shred, I struggled to keep the gain down, but after realizing it was a hot-ass pickup, I adjusted quick... I tried it on the schecter blackjack sls c1 fr- sustainiac, it to me sounds like a passive blackout... I prefer passive anyway..... I love it so!

The full shred is a moderate output pickup though? Are you used to strats or single coils? Because it is the lowest output guitar out of all these pickups. But yeah I would love it too! :) Glad you like it.

i don't know why it seems that way here, but the full shred i had in my schec was hotter than the sh5 and only just slightly less high output than the sh6. and if you are a hard picker, it's WAY hotter than the emg81! i rolled back my gain 3/10ths on my engl the day i changed it.

I ended up buying one. It sounds nothing like this. The SH5 only gets close to sounding as brutal if you raise it almost touching the strings. LOL. I'm.thinking they may have got the height different than all the rest in the video which is why it sounds the most br0tal. LOL.

After being a long time DiMarzio user, I did a whole bunch of research, and ultimately decided on the SH-5 custom. This video completely does it justice, and very accurately captures what I hear too. Super happy with my choice. Also had an Invader briefly and it also was well represented. Kudos to you guys, this is what more gear demos should be like.

Duke - SWT Mate Yes sir!The custom has so much more mid-grind and is much more articulate than the previously mentioned invader. Props to SD for getting me ones in white in a very short time frame too.

Definitely interesting because of the 6 string version. Normally i would say the custom/hybrid and definitely want to try that Jason Becker pickup in a 6 string. I think of 7 strings as a different beast because i would use that in different applications. The Invader would be my pick which i would never use in a 6 string because it's not my bag in that world. Totally fits for what i would use a 7 for on the other hand
