I always said that to darrell's ears, it probably sounded just right, but taken to account that his hearing was probably very damaged, we aren't hearing what he's hearing
I definitely prefer the Jupiter. I'm sat listening through my monitors right now with my eyes closed and I can really notice how nasaly the Dimebucker is in comparison. The jupiter sounds more well-rounded overall, with a teeny weeny bit more presence to me. I still remember you playing that solo to me on Skype when you were first nailing it haha, glad to see it in a vid finally!🤘
I love the highs from the dimebucker, it really gives you that edge to your tone especially if you play through a lower gain amp. It can be quite treble heavy for a hot pickup but it sounds great imo
@@HighPriestVaticanAssasindimebag darrell did the same thing with the l500xl and tilted the pickup at angle so the heavier strings got more chunk out of the pickup
Yea, they share some similarities but reckon the Jupiter is the better pup. Even if people are saying they're a repackaged Dimebucker, who cares? I won't say no to a pickup that sounds like a more modern Dimebucker!
I hear way more mids in the Jupiter...and BTW....I've yet to hear a better dime solo recreation than this man here! I mean DAMN...if I close my eyes I literally hear dime playing again. This is the dude I'd want to see playing in that Pantera reunion. It's a no fckin brainer IMO. Excellent dime recreation though, absolute top notch.
@@roberthaskin1723 heh funny follow up, I didn't even realize these were his pickups. So distracted by the world class playing. I actually ended up buying these picks and I absolutely love them. So OK, maybe don't forget the pickups haha but if I had to pick one I'd still pick the pleasure of hearing Wes play cuz it's just that damn good.
This was an excellent video Wes! You’re extremely talented brother, I love watching you play it’s absolutely incredible! Dimebucker clearly had a fatter bass response and a super cool scooped EQ curve in the pickups overall tone and reaction to your picking and palm mutes. Your signature Jupiter rails Humbucker was definitely a bit more articulate, tighter with more midrange bite, rather than a scooped midrange feel. I actually like them both I’ve used the Dimebucker in my old Dean guitars and clearly it’s a 90’s metal bad ass were I feel the Jupiter performs that sound great but it’s also perfect for the more modern day tone too.
Wes your an absolute beast on the guitar man. I've been checking out your stuff for a few years now and your definitely one of the best axe slayers out there brother. Your creativity is off the chain and I appreciate you sharing.
Yeah I like the Jupiter more for sure, way more clarity especially on the low end, you can hear all the notes clearly and their not clumped together. But the dimebucker still sounds good especially on the higher frets
Dimebucker's are definitely made for dimebag. Extra muddy but made to shred. They're great i have some in my jackson. They are designed for the guitarists that ARE THE SHOW, just like dimebag was. Play the meanest crunchiest riffs known to man then follow it by the most insane solo you've ever heard. He knew exactly what he was doing when he designed these he made them for him and thats why I have them in my guitar because they're from him. RIP BROTHER
Just got a dimebucker on a used Laguna en322. Sounds pretty heavy thru a ehx metal muff with gain at 12 o'clock on my 15w monoprice tube amp. Cant wait to get a set of allen keys to properly intonate it
Hey wes another obsessed dime fan here and was wondering if u would do a whole video on just your dimebag guitars and the history behind them and stuff because yours are very different from all the others of the same type and year when looking at older videos or pictures seems like yours come with totally different specs may it be small things like your dimebolt having a natural dimebolt with a symmetrical headstock when normally d3s are the offset ones and the 3st was the only that seems to have the bigger symmetrical headstock and etc. Would love to see it and I know all the other fans would as well. Hope to see more of those gorgeous guitars in the future here. I dont have the money to drop on one of those in today's market but I did pick up the equivalent lately just bought the USA custom shop dime slime and the usa custom shop 1 out of 100 far beyond driven ml. Insane quality and would just live to see more usa dime guitar videos especially about all us superfans dream guitars which is literally what your collection is haha.
Simple. The dimebucker is like having a big fist thrown in your face. The Jupiter is like having a bowling bowl slung to your gut. Amazing comparison Wes. Inspirational as always.
Sick tone Wes. I love the chunkiness of the Dimebucker but would pick the Jupiter personally. Those squeals really do jump out with the Jupiter and the lead tone is less harsh. Awesome playing as always
I am definitely not a modern metal guy, I’m more into Maiden and Priest but man, these Jupiter pickups sound fantastic, I have them in a Strat and an Explorer and they definitely do classic metal really really well, highly recommended
I got that pick up. And did it on my neck pickup. It was sounds I wanted, plus my amp was crap. So I had an emg for bridge and the dime for neck… sounds pretty bad saying it. but it worked out for me.it put the dime reverse and it got my some crazy cleans and it’s hot so not much volume drop. I can play” black label society” “bridge to cross tone on cleans. Lol this pick up is for your bridge, but try it in your neck reverse, sounds amazing for cleans, not so much other stuff. But chorus and all that it’s cool.
I wouldn't say better. Just different. I've got 3 blade pups. Bill Lawrence, dimebucker, and the Jupiter. I love them all for different reasons. The best all around pup of the three is the cheapest. The bill Lawrence. The dimebucker does, in your face metal. Period. And the Jupiter does modern metal the best. I recommend all of these pickups. They're all great.
Dimebucker has a sharper attack to it almost too sharp. The Jupiter sounds way more versatile in my opinion. It’s got good attack but not too much, nice lows, and great mids. It also has a smoothness to it that you can def hear when compared to the dimebucker.
What jackass disliked this video? This is pure guitar playing at its best and playing some of Darrel’s best imo. I love the Dimebucker and now well.... Ima have to get my hands on a Jupiter!
Sounds to me like a better tonezone or im wrong? My previous guitar had it and reminded me a lot how good is the tonezone and a all around pickup! Now im stuck into EMG 81-85 haha and im ok!👍
To my ear and studio monitors, the Jupiter sound a little more refined in the highs and high-mids, with less or "tighter" low end. the dimebucker's low end sounds like it has more plume to it, but like it's a proximity effect from how you're palm muting maybe? I also noticed some like high end hair in the Jupiter mix, but its the kind I hear in distorted bass guitar, so I wonder if because the Jupiters are more clear, it allowed that frequency to come out a bit while the dimes masked it more
@@WesHauchAlluvial thanks, that would really be awesome! You’re just the perfect person for the comparison, great hands, great technique, great musical thinking, awesome personality :) I’ve got a korina N4, Dime’s Dean Rust from Hell with vintage true 500XLs and a few more axes and really am interested in trying the Jupiter. Respect. Keep up the great work.
@@fk9552 I could honestly do comparison videos to the Iommi pickup, X2n, Blackhawk, countless others as well. I just dont know if I want to spend the time doing that lol. Thanks for the kind words though.
Definitely a lot more mids in the Jupiter. I prefer the dimebucker outside of the rest of the mix, but add the drums and bass and the Jupiter really, really shines
They both sound great. Can you please tell me all of the guitar parts that Dime used? My Dad has tons of guitar pick up's and all kinds of guitar part's and I have a Shecter , ESP, Fenders and a Jackson and he said he can make them all sound amazing. He just took my Fender last night, so I'm excited to get it back, to hear the sound difference.
From where I'm listening, the Jupiter had more detail and sounded a bit bumped around 800Hz. Not quite as beefy, though, and a tad less hot, seemingly?
I was just enjoying the riffage and went halfway thru before I realized FFS! I'm supposed to be comparing! I dunno.. everyone is saying Jupiter but I think the Dimebucker is more dynamic and sounds more appealing to my ear.
Jupiter cuts better in the mix and is more balanced, overall. Dimebucker is more chunky on the low end and for Pantera riffs, at least - works a bit better in context.
The Jupiter has a big sound , like Jupiter being big ! 😆😆 it’s definitely more pronounced in the mid range. You have it a big footprint to be able to be heard and felt . I def want to look into the 7 string version for either of my 2 , 7s .
Question for you Wes... What distance from the strings do you use or recommend with this Jupiter? I just put mine in and love it, just curious to how you set your height.
Anyone who says these are the same pickup is a bozo and needs their hearing checked. Dimebucker is certainly more grind-y, more harsh and less focused across the entire spectrum. Gonna go get some Jupiters and throw them in my LTD EX400 cause the EMGs just aren’t doing it for me. Obviously I’ll have to get new volume/tone pots, do you have a recommendation? I know the 7 string single pickups used to come with 500k volume pots.
The difference is slight. I think i prefer the jupiter. I mean : when i listen to pantera the guitar sounds like a ride vroom vrooming. I owed an ESP M-II by past and my guitar mate's axe (schecter c1) was settled on SD sh1/sh4. We both owed mesa triaxis preamp and (let me continue please) when he up a parameter 0.5 to 0.5 made a real change; with an EMG81 the difference is notable from 1.5 to 1.5. Killing the sound. IK don't like that much active pickups...
Always a treat when you see Wes slingin some new heat
@aynse beautiful poetry bro (wipes tear)
@@robbyreed7844 i totally did not intend on the rhyme but tyvm
Hauch is one of the tightest players I've ever seen.
The Jupiter definitely sounds more focused and well balanced. The low end is something that shines for me over the dimebucker.
Forgot how many cool riffs are in even the lesser pantera songs.
There's no such thing as a "lesser" Pantera song..lol
I always said that to darrell's ears, it probably sounded just right, but taken to account that his hearing was probably very damaged, we aren't hearing what he's hearing
Jupiter definitely got more clarity and tighter low end.

Seems we keep hanging around similar places man! Cheers love your stuff keep it up.
If you flip the dimebucjer around with the hotter rail towards the neck it sounds much better. I dont like how it sounds installed the "right way"

Well they're more expensive than a Dimebucker, so if they were "just the same pickup" people could save some money. But they're not.
@@seanmackay6739 I'm not saying they're the same pickup though?
@@seanmackay6739 but also the dimebucker doesn’t come in 7 so the Jupiter is an obvious choice if you like dimes sound, I want one eventually
Wes you just melted my face off with that solo, besides Dime himself, that was the best I've ever heard.
Some hertz tuning thrown in!

Forget the pickups... You absolutely nailed Dime's performance it was a treat to watch. Insane really well done!
Thats what I'm saying man

Liking the video during the ad before the video
So sick
As if I wasn’t sold before lol

Never dug the dimebucker , always liked BL / Wilde better. But, your Jupiter's are next fucking level. A new level.....
I really loved Pantera with Zakk, but Wes is THE man to fit dime shoes
This is the sickest video ever!
Yeah I like the Jupiter more for sure, way more clarity especially on the low end, you can hear all the notes clearly and their not clumped together. But the dimebucker still sounds good especially on the higher frets
Holy cow the lightning on that axe is absolutely sick.
Jupiters sound like it has more kids, maybe a little "tighter". Dimebuckers sound scooped
Even though this video is a pickup comparison, I'm just constantly staring at that dimebolt, holy shit, it's so good looking.
Fabulous playing
What I hear in the Jupiter is that it’s less sizzly, tighter, a little more present in the midrange and clearer. It sounds very cool.
I have the dimebucker. I absolutely love it. But definitely buy this one as well. Looks sick.

Learning message in blood rn..weird i came across this video ...those pickups sound great..
The jupiter is like a more mix ready dimebag i love them both
Like the Dimebucker more.
love that black dime sick
wes that was fucking blazing dude. You do the big guy proud.
So killer, can't wait to pick a set up once I stop procrastinating and sell some of this excess gear
That bend at 0:21 so nasty!
I listened to this with my eyes closed and every time I preferred the Jupiter.
What a beast! 👊 😎👊
Dude the Jupiter sounds killer!
Absolutely great guitar work. Well done! 😉👍
I can't tell the difference? They both sound great
killer gutiar playing and killer lightning washburn gutiar.. they both sound fantastic and i would like them both in separate gutiars.
That dimebucker is legendary, the Jupiter is an renovation, ill be looking into these Jupiter's
He should've been asked to play with Pantera for the reunion -real talk
Fucking love it, can’t wait to throw a Jupiter in me ML
Great comparison.
I think I'd like the Dimebucker more for jamming and the Jupiter more for recording.

More throat less nasal. Great note clarity. Now just to decide which axe gets one.
You and Ducan made for a tasty pickup!!! :)
DB for me!
It's cool you tune to 432hz \m/

Do you prefer the Washburn Dimes over the Deans?
Great playing, this video could be used to sell Kempers, the tone is perfect
Physco holiday. Excellent choice
Alexander Orlov Message in Blood
Wes Hauch wow, how could I have messed up like that. I’m ashamed.
I feel like if I owned the dime bucker I’d eq it for my liking towards the Jupiter, so buying the Jupiter would save me the work haha
Wes you deserve the Pantera opening for real. I'm wishing it would be you Zakk Wylde and Portnoy.. fuck it sure would bring back Pantera for real.
Reason I say Portnoy cause I know they were good friends and I think Vinnie would want that for real
