Citation/mention fame — how often this gear is cited across artist rigs and gear discussion.The DiMarzio Dominion is Mark Morton's signature humbucker set, voiced for modern and groove metal with a balance of aggression and clarity. The set delivers a tight, punchy low end, a strong, cutting midrange and clear highs that keep heavily distorted, riff-driven playing articulate, while remaining dynamic and responsive to pick attack. Moderately high output, it drives high-gain amps hard for rhythm chug and sustaining leads, and in coil-split mode offers clearer, single-coil-like tones. Designed for Lamb of God's style, it suits players who want cutting metal tone with enough definition for complex riffing rather than a dark, scooped voice.
The Seymour Duncan SH-2N Jazz Model is a neck-position humbucker pickup, one of Seymour Duncan's most celebrated designs, delivering smooth, warm, articulate tone with excellent clarity for both clean and moderately overdriven playing. Despite its "Jazz" name, it's widely used across genres for its exceptionally musical, balanced character.
