Dimarzio Evolution - Very unique sounding with a huge bass response. Plenty of cut and drive.
Dimarzio Megadrive - like a passive EMG81.
Dimarzio Super Distortion - Thick, smooth, fuzzy and lively.
Duncan Custom 8 - Hot, thick, muscular and huge bass response.
Duncan Designed HB104 – The so called Iommi bucker. Strange beast. Very scooped.
Duncan Distortion - Tight, thick, muscular and resonant.
Entwistel HDN - Cheap, Neodymium magnet, bright, excellent definition, incredibly powerful and resonant.
Entwistel X2 - Cheap, double thick ceramic magnet, hot, fuzzy, bright, but it lacks clarity.
Gibson 500T - constipated, dry and cold.
Gibson Dirty Fingers - Big, Hairy, sweaty, slobbering tone. Not great for clarity, but it has a lot of drive.
Kent Armstrong M215 Mega Distortion - Cheap, halfway between a Duncan Distortion and a Dimarzio Super Distortion. Try to find one of the epoxy potted EMG style for greater clarity and resonance. Good value.
Might Mite Motherbucker - Cheap, this pickup is DOOM!!! I have one in a baritone and it does Fireball Ministry, COC, Mastadon and HOF all day. Excellent value.
PJ Marxx 412 - Kind of like a louder and more powerful JB, but with more clarity and midrange scoop. Doubt you will find one.
Randall Ultra XL - hard, loud, bight, but lacks subtlety and warmth.
