For nearly 30 years, the DiMarzio® X2N® has been the top choice for all-out power. In the last couple of years were developed totally new ways to combine power with clarity, which first resulted in the D Activator™. Now experience the D Activator-X™ Bridge model. It features the same striking look as the X2N®, but with adjusted output and tuned coils to different frequencies to create a powerful sound wide open with a surprisingly clean sound when the volume control is rolled down, even with extreme metal and high-gain amps. The Neck model is designed to produce a highly focussed attack centered on the upper mid range, with less magnet pull and output in order to balance perfectly with the Bridge model. The D Activator-X™ Bridge model feature universal spacing for both standard and F-spaced applications.

I was looking for a new pickup to improve sustain and harmonic richness of tone of my Ibanez RG...The end result is murderous. Fat rich and well distinct tone. One thing I was afraid this pickup to be too hot, as I play variety of different styles...The pickup cleans very well when turn the volume down.

Der Tonabnehmer klingt brachial. Für härteres Metal-Spiel sehr zu empfehlen. Töne kommen klar rüber. Der BAss von dickeren Gitarrensaiten (Tieferstimmung) wird stark ohne zu matschen rübergegeben. Ich versuche modernen Metalsound zu erzeugen. Dh. an meinem Röhrenamp sowie Distortionpedal sind die Mitten stark aufgedreht. Der Ton klingt im RAhmen meines Equipments ingesamt modern, düster, druckvoll, nicht matschig. Schnelles Spiel ("Schrammeln") wird differenziert wiedergegeben. Der Versand aus dem Ausland war etwas problematisch. Die Hülle/Verpackung kam beschädigt an (etwas Plastik abgebrochen). Unklar, ob das am Versanddienstleister in der Slowakei lag oder an GLS, die dann den Transport übernommen haben. Der Versand war dadurch dann auch verzögert. Der Tonabnehmr kam aber unbeschädigt an. Muziker könnte dennoch noch etwas besser verpacken. Deshalb 1 Stern Abzug. Lässt man den Versand außen vor: Für den Dimarzio Activator X würde ich volle 5 Punkte vergeben. Für Metal ist man nicht enttäuscht.
The pickup sounds brutal. Highly recommended for harder metal playing. The tones come through clearly. The bass from thicker guitar strings (lower tuning) is transmitted strongly without being muddy. I try to create a modern metal sound. This means that the mids are turned up a lot on my tube amp and distortion pedal. The sound sounds modern, dark, powerful, not muddy within the framework of my equipment. Fast playing ("strumming") is reproduced in a differentiated manner. Shipping from abroad was a bit problematic. The cover/packaging arrived damaged (some plastic broken off). It is unclear whether this was due to the shipping service provider in Slovakia or to GLS, who then took over the transport. Shipping was delayed as a result. The pickup arrived undamaged, however. Muziker could still pack it a bit better. Therefore 1 star deduction. Leaving shipping aside: I would give the Dimarzio Activator X a full 5 points. For metal you won't be disappointed.
