I have no experience with a Dimebucker.. I will say this.. It's perfectly balanced, and the clarity is where it shines with great note separation. It's not bright. It's tight in the low end, not boomy. It really reminds me of a Duncan Custom with less high mids. I believe they are roughly the same output, (14k range)? I had them in a Charvel, and they were impressive. Great harmonics as well. It'll scream, it'll grind, it will do it all. Great for drop, and lower tunings. Stays focused.
