This is a Pariah Poundcake Bridge and Neck humbucker set installed in an Ernie Ball Music Man AXIS EX going up against an original ALL STOCK EBMM EVH from 1994. They are nearly identical BUT to my ears, I prefer the Pariah Poundcake pickups. I find they are super easy to play and harmonics just pop! I actually prefer my Axis EX over the EVH MM too.... I KNOW, I DIDN'T WANT TO AT FIRST BUT NOW IM SAYING IT!! Pariah all the way!

Evh Dimarzio’s, they just sound right.

@JeremyWhiteShow 3 года назад

The pickups are identical, the strings on the EVH were old and never changed and the strings on the pariahs were brand new! Old = warmer, new = brighter.

@allthework9812 3 года назад

The pariahs have a smoother tone, but the DiMarzios sound so much closer to eddies tone, which is exactly what I like.

@JeremyWhiteShow 3 года назад

Very smooth, I love the pariahs!

@RavenGuitar 3 года назад

Kinda agree... there is little more bite in the Dimazios... but the smooth sounds awful nice in the Phariah... guess it depends on your rig and what your ears prefer...

@drunyon08 Год назад

The Pariahs are definitely brighter.

@wabbadu1 3 года назад

Wow! That DiMarzio sound! My favorite EVH tone.

@CurtPires 3 года назад

Both pickups sound great, The EVH dimarzio's sound dead on with your setup though. Could be listening to Live Right Here Right now for all I know.

Why do the crappiest guitarists have the nicest gear??? Probably because they don't have a girlfriend spending their cash!

@BGoodAHB 3 года назад

Good stuff..but the AT-1..😂 This is the type of video I was looking for before I got a set of Poundcakes, ironic it shows up after I've already bought and installed them. I too am a fan of the Pariah set over my Dimarzios (which I loved and have in multiple guitars) and even though I put them in arguably the worst guitar I have, it sounds the best hands down. Great comparison video, and the me from 4 months ago thanks you. 👍🏻

@sonnyboo 3 года назад

That "Axis" seems more like an EVH because of where the pickup switch is at. The EB Axis models have the switch closer to the volume knob. And it doesn't say Axis. Both guitars sound incredible. That d-tune is exactly period accurate for 1991 Eddie.

@joewebrocks 3 года назад

Great demo! But why did you put Pariah PUPs in the Axis EX? I mean, this guitar comes with the original EVH Dimarzios in it.

@zipchtkdn7804 3 года назад

The guitar owner who had it took them out put Peavey pups in and then he got it and added pariahs.

@finishin.my.coffee8780 3 года назад

I like the Dimarzios in your EVH but I'm thinking of Pariah's Blackheart/Leone set for my PRS SE Custom 24.

@captainflamson 3 года назад

The Poundcakes are pretty well spot on, I've been wanting a set for a while now and have been debating between these and an Air Zone or AT-1 and Air Norton combo, these are probably the winner for me...I agree that I'm sick of people whinging about clean tones though, this is rock and we like distortion!!

@JeremyWhiteShow 3 года назад

Pariah is fantastic! Sean will sort you out with the best pickups. Hit them up on instagram and tell em I sent ya! :D

@docevans5971 3 года назад

Tone Zone is cheaper and was runner up for the EVHMM. $79.99 vs $105.00 I have the EVHEBMM and the tone zone is as close as I have played. I have not played the AT.

@RockhouseRay 2 года назад

If you dig the tone zone try the Norton(not air norton0 bridge pick up

@cheesewesil18 3 года назад

I’ve watched this few times, I’d say the dimarzio has that sizzle which is typical but the pariahs are smoother like a Duncan would do, both would do the job 🤙

@mvalencia8951 2 года назад

EVH signature definitely sounds more like Eddy

@rmzzz76 3 года назад

Dude! Awesome playing and thanks so much for doing this comparison. I think you just helped sell some Pariah Poundcakes. So they are definitely in the same ballpark, but I have to agree with those saying the DiMarzio's just sound a little warmer the Pariah's a little hotter. Honestly the Pariah bridge sounds almost identical to the DiMarzio ToneZone pickup to me in these clips, but that's ok because The ToneZone is a great pickup. EVH could have made any of these sound great and probably thought it funny how for so long now we've been splitting hairs on this stuff.

@JeremyWhiteShow 3 года назад

I take the Pariah over tone zone! 🤘🏻

@blacklion401 3 года назад

The Tone Zone is the closest thing to the EVH pickup that DiMarzio makes. I’ve talked to them about it. Believe me I’ve tried getting one or Axis pickup but won’t do it 😂

@experimentalgroup9473 3 года назад

The dimarzio pickups are spot on, but not commercially available. The pariah pickups are. So they win.

@Scottocaster6668 3 года назад

Find your own sound dude, hahahaha. My Wolfgang actually sounds like ME, The Dimarzio ( green guitar) sounds more like him.

@KurtS5150 3 года назад

Jeremy first off, solid playing and your tone & effects is spot on. I think the Dimarzio's sound alot like the record but the Pariah's sound crisper and hotter. I you were going to play live I think I would go with the Pariah. it catches your ear more. Keep up these videos

@JeremyWhiteShow 3 года назад

Yes, I agree! And with lower gain, the Pariah’s are hot enough to get all the goodies out of the guitar. The DiMarzio obviously sounds amazing, but idk there’s something about the pariahs I just really dig. ⚡️

@VMV8622 2 года назад

amazing video! great playing man. after reading Larry Dimarzio's story about the bridge pickup I'm curious to hear a comparison between those pickups and the Tone Zone. Could you do it someday?

The pickups Peavy made in the first year of the Wolfgang are sonic elixir I would have to hear them next to DiMarzio and lbcake to really make a choice but these Peavey's thru 5150ll Peavey 120 w amp on lead channel just roast you and those are good pickups from lbcake they reek EVH

@JeremyWhiteShow 3 года назад

The pariahs are seriously great man! I’m playing here on the red channel of 100 watt an they clean up incredibly well... I just wanted to do a straight up high gain comparison 🤘🏻

@ytb917 3 года назад

incredible demo. the amp sounds great on both guitars! did you record the amp with a mic like an sm57, or did you use one of those cabinet modeler devices?

@petemcknight803 7 месяцев назад

I love how people say they can tell a big difference. My god. It’s like winos. Saying they can taste vanilla with a hint of dark chocolate. lol. Whatever. Those pound cakes sound great, especially since you can’t get the originals. Ugh. Meh. This wine has hints of currants. Haha

@jelmeromero 3 года назад

The DiMarzio are it because that’s what HE used but the Pariahs are close. I could tell the harmonics jumped out with the DiMarzio while they are present with the Pariahs they don’t jump out so easily. Jmho. Thanks man. Really loving your vids. Long Live EVH

dimarzio the tone zone its the answer, i have an evh wolfgang special the other day i was jamming van halen with my ibanez jem and sounded closer after that i did some research and founded out that the evh dimarzio seems to be a degaussed tone zone next day bought a tone zone installed it into the wolfgang and wow now the neck pup doesnt sound so good

@deans.4705 3 года назад

different guitars, different pieces of wood. test is useless. I have 3 axis guitars and they all sound different. wood variation and even pickup variation. You need to use the same guitar

@oneminuteriffs2090 3 года назад

yeah this is a cool demo to hear the differences between 2 similar guitars, but you can't a/b pickups without using them in the same guitar. There's too many variables to say it's the pickups that are brighter/fuller/warmer/etc.

@925candyman 3 года назад

I am glad that someone else thinks the same way. I am certain that a pickup from 1994 EBMMEVH sounds different than one from a 2010 Axis. I had both of these and they sounded very different. I did not swap the pickups, so the wood could be a factor (two different guitars). And you also need to have the right amp to compare. Some amps add too much color and you will not hear the subtle differences.

@tacobell5150 2 года назад

the pound cake is cool, but the stock guitar sounds closer to ed

@andrewmaher8409 2 года назад

Thanks for doing this. They both sound so good. We need to take into consideration any differences between actual guitars, and also allow for how we would tweak amp settings etc, if it wasn't a back-to-back comparison. Also, the different sounds your hands make on the strings compared to my hands would be greater than any difference between the sounds coming from these guitars... I guess what I'm saying is those Pariahs are really on the money. Thanks again.

I love the Pariahs I've had.. but this audio I have to give the ever so slight nod to EB.. definition was just a tad less hazy. HOWEVER.. I don't know what they sounded like in the room... and the guitars are different. EX. A nice old piece of timber vs a more dense, affordable one could affect resonance and overtones etc..

@vladzubac5360 Год назад

sounds phenomenal! what height is the brige pickup on the MM EVH? I would assume pretty close to the strings from the video? really curious on this. thanks :)

@Mossy5150 Год назад

Having watched this a couple times, I'm not sure I hear a difference in the pickups. I do hear a slight difference in intonation between guitars, and that might be causing different harmonic overtones, being explained as pickup differences.

@pancakes7294 2 года назад

I’m debating weather get an EVH axis or just a standard axis, the EVH doesn’t have a matching headstock Wich looks weird, and the standard axis looks beautiful, but the EVH has the closer tone.

@SouthpawSatch 3 года назад

In reality you could take two EBMM EVH guitars, A/B them and they would sound slightly different. I think its pretty close between these pickups and there's not a lot of difference, definitely the best replicas I've heard. I'm enquiring about picking up a set of Poundcakes for myself after watching these videos.

@JeremyWhiteShow 3 года назад

the strings on the EVH were old af too, the axis ex has fresh metal on em which ad more gloss to the sound... you'll LOVE the poundcakes man! Lemme know if you get a set!

@tommyjoe4310 3 года назад

Both sound great, both bright...... No tone pot. Adding resistance right. The dimarzio is a little brighter, the Pariah a little warmer. I think the dimarzio has richer harmonic overtones and would probably sound better in the mix. How do they feel is very important too. What's your take Jeremy.?

Hey @Jeremy White just so we're clear here. Can you confirm that Pariah has no business relationship to your channel? To define "business relationship" I mean has not paid for any endorsement or advertising throughout the life of your channel, has not provided you with any incentives and has not provided free promotional product of any kind over the years? I assume the answer is No, but think it would benefit everyone to know for sure. Thanks!
