Great to hear a demo where the Air Zone is used together with another pickup.

I was hoping for some clean sounds. Oh well.

A good combination is a Seymour Duncan 7.5k 59 HB in the neck and Dimarzio air zone HB in the bridge, the neck is classic sparkling paf tone and the bridge is basically a super hot rod version of that tone, so nice together they sound like relatives!

Great playing! Please, don't forget to add on your comments that treble bleeders are not for everyone so it cannot be called "improvement" or upgrade. Some players rely on the volume for other reasons, being the main one to clean up their tones without switching from dirty toclean channel. I use a push-pull system to achieve both ways. Good luck there! Glad to see Brazilian talents showing, just be humble all the times.
