only ever jammed with it for a little while on a friends' Xiphos for metal and some bluesy stuff. It was good for beefy, articulate metal tones. A bit cold/sterile for bluesy stuff.
As you know, the D-Activator and D-Activator X are supposed to be passive takes on the "active" sound. So they are quite clean and precise sounding, very focused and punchy sounding. TBH if I wanted that active kinda sound, I feel like I'd rather have EMGs or Blackouts, cuz they seem to be more ballsy whereas the D-Activators tend to feel like they're lacking a bit of push and attitude. Too clean for my tastes.
