All user reviews of 5/5 for the DiMarzio DP159 Evolution Bridge

Well it will be 9 months that I have (installed on a JEM7vwh, serial what!)
Frankly I see a lot of negative opinion, and I know why .... this micro really depends on the type of violin that we have ...
I quote the first view, as what we can not have the sound of Vai, I'm sorry but that Vai DiMarzio designed with the Micro ... if you install it on his guitar on a € 500 ...
Good return on the technical side.

in His Light: This is not his strong point, but there are a lot of warmth and roundness, for sure it saturates quickly but I'm happy! There are still a good sound (on jem There's a simple micro center dedicated to the clear, or I put the selector in the intermediate position to send her more potato)
Drive sound: This is the beast that shows his power! Microphone feedback soon! Its really sends potato, reacts much depending on the attack that we do with the pick! Gain can be reduced easily without losing volume, so it is very interresting!

General Notice: really great as micro, certainly the type Vai, but I am still impressed by its versatility still ... Its smooth, soft, powerful at a time) If you want to hear a sound of this microphone, listen to the song Hand On Heart of Vai from the album Fire Garden

that is all is said!

Keep Rockin '
PS: Use a high-end guitar if not its useless
(Is like putting a V12 engine in a 2CV ... ^ ^)

I used since the 1-year

my favorite c is its dynamic, it is very reactive to the game and feel, very very specific distortion, I do not understand those who say that it is not suitable for the n metal, c is about that if c is a damn rotten guitar amp and play a DNAS no AC adapter is not sound metal, but in a gear ALMOST worthy of the name ca people very aggressive, very precise and sharp and trs ca spring well in the mix, c is never muddy.
not what I like: clean sound, really suck, c is acute, cold and screaming, the worst mic that I've never had to clean.
j've tried a bunch of other DiMarzio some of Duncan and EMG pickups always kind of metal and I would do is choice in this category because c is the best tone with the area may be a little runny but also has its Chram The DiMarzio is much more interresting than it did a emg grain him.

A microphone metallers strong character, to use that REALLY disto (I insist on it):

Mounted in place of an ESP LH-150 original, well punchy, this microphone shows a completely different character:
- Single rack, cold, sharp, precise and punchy, the harps whistled fuse, thunderous riffs and rhythms are pests!
- In overlap with the neck pickup (LH-150) is almost as powerful, but very warm, rich singing harmonics appear again and you will find a sound like Slipknot on "sulfur" for example.

Conclusion: Quite a character, a truly distinctive, very different microphones "standard" that will be suited on the other hand maybe not everyone ...
EMG Seymour and their followers, DiMarzio too!
Personally, having looked for "my" sound, I've finally found it!

Important: Although adjust the spacing between pickups and strings, to experiment and refine the positions relative to each other, because this is the price that the outcome of this microphone is excellent.
Because, very analytical, any failure to play stringed instruments or tuning of spring. So to get on a guitar of good quality (clearly an EX-50, that's enough!) And well settled.
Having previously tested on a BC-Rich low-end, was the cata ...

For cons, the cleans are now banned (except for weird effects, it can have its charm ...), this mic is definitely not for this. In a versatile guitar, one passes to an exclusive (the neck pickup alone does not make it on the cleans, the combination of the two LH-150 was nice ...), but what disto potato and what sound!

Mount this microphone without ulterior motive, but keep your 2nd guitar for cleans!

Setup: ESP-LTD EX-50 + DP-159 / V-Amp Pro-/ AW-16G.
