Right now My Eclipse Standard has Dimarzio Super D bridge & PAF 36neck , loving it. Previously EMGs, then PAF 36 bridge and neck. It killed with any of these, just my mood changes and so do the pickups.

That sounds fantastic.

I had those 2 amps for some years, and only those 2. My take on them: 5150 - pronounced low/mid grunt. meh cleans, but I played clean like 5% of the time. TVerb - even mids, maybe even a bit scooped sounding- sizzling upper mids and highs. Better clean channel. Depends on what you like; for me...

-Duncan Custom Custom. When I tried a Tone Zone, yea it added thunderous bass, but didn't fix the ice pick problem. -EMG 85

Jimmy Page- Stairway, live version (song remains the same)

I stole a used one- in like '87 for $350...sold it a couple of years ago for $350

The TAD 6L6 WGC-STR is magic in my 5150. These are the short bottle 6L6's. The winged -C- has a great chuga chuga sound, but the TAD (or whatever label of this short bottle 6L6 you want to run) has the juiciest mids.

Duncan Custom Custom. For me, the Tone Zone adds a huge bottom end, but doesn't address the hi mids & highs- didn't work for me. EMG 85 works too.

Duncan Custom or Duncan Screamin Demon

Ran one in the bridge a long time ago, I liked it. I remember some comments of older, seasoned musicians- to the effect of " Man, that Les Paul really sounds like a Les Paul!". I eventually swapped out, just for a change.

I tried a Tone Zone in my icepick; all it did was add a huge bottom end...didn't work for me. Duncan Custom Custom smooths it out. EMG 85 smooths it out. No experience with the rest of your candidates.

uhh , sorry I sorta overlooked that aspect...I have no idea....they were drop in for my Les Paul. They are the finest tuners I have ever used.
