One thing has stayed consistent throughout John Petrucci’s long and successful career: the DiMarzio® pickups in his guitars. John has been pushing the envelope of progressive metal since the late eighties, and the new DiMarzio® Crunch Lab™ Bridge Model ensued from our most recent collaboration with John. He used it throughout Dream Theater’s tenth studio album, "Black Clouds & Silver Linings".
John swears this is the best live and studio sound he has ever had, and the name says it all - "crunch" is what it’s all about with a big, tight sound that’s neither muddy nor thin.

He used it throughout Dream Theater’s tenth studio album, "Black Clouds & Silver Linings".
John swears this is the best live and studio sound he has ever had. He wanted a neck pickup with a flowing, singing solo tone when used with a heavily overdriven amp and a clear chord sound with a clean amp setting.

The DiMarzio X2N Bridge Model DP102BK has been the top choice for all-out power for nearly 30 years. DiMarzio has developed totally new ways to combine power with clarity, which first resulted in the D Activator™. The D Activator-X™ Bridge Model features the same striking look and high output as the X2N®, but DiMarzio tuned the coils to different frequencies to allow maximum power wide open with a surprisingly clean sound when the volume control is rolled down, even with extreme metal and high-gain amps. The D Activator-X™ Bridge model features a universal spacing for both standard and F-spaced applications.

Recommended for bridge only.

The D Activator-X™ bridge model uses the same bar polepieces and magnet structure as the X2N®, but it's a very different pickup in other ways. Output voltage is slightly lower than the X2N®, and the tuning of the two coils allows the high frequencies to "open up" while still maintaining very strong lows and mids. The D Activator-X™ is also very good for clean, bright sounds in split and parallel modes.



One size fits F-spaced and Standard Spaced guitars.

Active humbuckers have a distinctive sound - powerful, clean, open-sounding, with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight lows. The down side for many players is that they also sound cold, have limited dynamics and run out of headroom when played hard. And of course, they need batteries. In 2006 DiMarzio took a close look at the most popular active neck and bridge humbuckers to see if they could capture all of the good qualities and eliminate the disadvantages. The D Activator™ neck and bridge models are the result. They have the same loud yet clean sound as the active humbuckers players are familiar with, and killer harmonics. They also respond instantly to hard or light pick attack. In a word, they rock. And they don’t need batteries.

The X2N is a take-no-prisoners, in-your-face humbucker. Twin, wide-bar pole pieces give the X2N a nasty, dangerous look - and rightly so. DiMarzio's highest gain pickup excels at thrashing your amplifier into screaming overdrive. Put one in the bridge position for a powerful boost in the voltage the amp sees from your guitar.

The result is a hot sound with relentless drive. If your amp needs to see more gain in order to go over-the-top in the overdrive department, the X2N's output and EQ are focused to slam the signal through with authority. Not that the X2N is completely single-minded: 4-conductor wiring permits single-coil and parallel humbucking operation for a wide selection of hot, musical sounds.

If you've seen Steve Vai perform in the last few years, you may have seen him playing a Jem guitar with the word Pogo taped on the face. Steve wanted one of his instruments to have a fat, classic humbucker sound to contrast with the hotter, screaming Evolution®-equipped guitars. This is the pickup DiMarzio developed for him.

The Breed was designed to warm up and smooth out the sound of 25½ scale trem guitars. It's got a lot more power than a PAF®, but it also has a finer 'touch' than high-output models. Picking hard will generate a lot of voltage, but a softer attack will clean up the sound of an overdriven amp.

If you love the sound of a Super Distortion in the bridge and you like hot neck pickups too, try a Super 2. The Super 2 takes the classic Super Distortion sound and slides the EQ up in favor of the high-end, so its brighter top and lighter bottom work to balance out the darker, overtone-heavy information up by the fingerboard.

The Super 2 is just the pickup to clean up the overdrive sound of a mud-heavy 24-3/4 in. scale, 2-humbucker guitar. Add snap to a dark sounding 25-1/2 in. bolt-on. It works great in the bridge or the neck.

neck position with equal or higher-power bridge pickup. Bridge position with equal or lower-power pickup (PAF Pro, Fred, Evolution Neck).

This is a very bright bridge pickup, but the highest frequencies are rounded off enough to allow the pickup to cut without being too buzzy or metallic.

The original Evolution bridge model did what Steve Vai wanted it to do - kick butt and produce serious scream. Then he wanted something a little more complex - the same basic tone with increased headroom and dynamics, so that the sound kills on 10 and cleans up when the volume is rolled down. With a little less power than the original Evolution, EVO2 balances perfectly with the Evolution neck model and performs equally well with high gain and vintage amps.

Steve's Special is a non-traditional approach to a high-output bridge humbucking design. Hot humbuckers usually concentrate most of the pickup's power in a narrow frequency band for maximum impact. Using DiMarzio's patented dual-resonance design Steve's Special takes the opposite path, spreading the sound over a broad range. Bass and treble frequencies are boosted while the mids are pulled back so the pickup's power doesn't kick a high-gain amp into overdrive as easily. This makes Steve's Special a good choice for both fast soloing and clean chords, because individual notes won't smear together with heavy overdrive, and clean sounds have an almost hi-fi quality.

Take a Super Distortion® add a mini-switch and 4-conductor wiring for parallel and single-coil operation and you have the Dual Sound®.The extra flexibility puts cleaner, crisp tone choices at your control. Lighten up on the lead tone in parallel operation, then roar back in with the standard series position. Use the single-coil mode along with the neck or middle pickup for chopping rhythm tones. If you need brighter, more transparent sounds from your bridge or neck pickup without sacrificing wide, singing crunch, the Dual Sound® nicely fills the bill.

Recommended for the bridge position on solidbody guitars. The Dual is the original 4-conductor version of the Super Distortion®. Originally, the main purpose of 4-conductor wiring was to switch from series to parallel modes. It is now popular in bridge position H-S-H pickup arrangements, where it can split to single-coil in combination with a middle position pickup like the Blue VelvetTM. This combination creates very Strat®-like sounds, because the warm tone and high output of the Dual allow single-coil mode to balance with most single-coils.

Works great in most guitars set up for humbuckers, especially in balanced and warm instruments and those with rosewood fingerboards.

Bare Knuckle Geoff Whitehorn signature 'Crawler' humbucker Bare Knuckle Geoff Whitehorn signature 'Crawler' humbucker

Always the first call for classic British blues rock tone. Sweet, rich, full-bodied sound with power aplenty

Renowned the world over as the player's player with a career spanning Back Street Crawler, Bad Company, Paul Rodgers, Procol Harum and The Who, any pickup bearing the Geoff Whitehorn name is going to be a formidable piece of kit.

Voiced by Geoff to be equally at home in a Strat or Les Paul type body, the Crawler is packed full of vintage tone and power reflecting years of studio and stage experience at the cutting edge of blues rock. Scatterwound with original 43 gauge plain enamel wire and using an unpolished, vintage cut Alnico V magnet, the sound is balanced and warm when clean; open up the volume and the Crawler will push the amp into punchy, fat overdrive for chunky chord work and singing lead tones.

For awe inspiring sound and performance-the Geoff Whitehorn signature speaks volumes!

Available as bridge, neck or fully calibrated set with 4 conductor wiring as standard for series, parallel or coil split options.

The HB and HB Two/Tone™ are full humbucker-sized pickups designed for players who are looking for the maximum amount of tone, sensitivity and output, without being saddled with an inherently distorted or muddy-sounding humbucker. The HB provides incredible low-end clarity and overall high sustain characteristics that make it suitable for virtually any purpose, from blues to rock to jazz.

Both HB models fit into standard humbucker body routs with no modifications to the instrument. The HB models use 6 conductor shielded cable and are supplied with wiring diagrams download and mounting hardware to facilitate installation.

The HB and HB Two/Tone™ are full humbucker-sized pickups designed for players who are looking for the maximum amount of tone, sensitivity and output, without being saddled with an inherently distorted or muddy-sounding humbucker. The HB provides incredible low-end clarity and overall high sustain characteristics that make it suitable for virtually any purpose, from blues to rock to jazz.

The HB Two/Tone™ is an additional refinement of the HB pickup. The HB Two/Tone™ was designed to be the ultimate pickup for Hum/Single/Single or Hum/Single/Hum guitars, as it is literally two pickups in one: you get the HB tone when the pickup is in full mode, and when you hit the switch (a DPDT mini-switch or push/pull pot), the tone and output change to that of an S-Deluxe, so that in combination with the middle pickup, you get the perfect "in-between" sound. There is no switching noise and no hum in either mode. The HB Two/Tone™ is available for both neck and bridge positions.

The design is a complete improvement over any kind of series/parallel or split-coil wiring, as it gives you the same tone and output level as the S-Deluxe! Many musicians have told us that the HB Two/Tone™ is like a Strat pickup that turns itself into a humbucker!

Both HB models fit into standard humbucker body routs with no modifications to the instrument. The HB models use 6 conductor shielded cable and are supplied with wiring diagrams download and mounting hardware to facilitate installation.
