All user reviews for the DiMarzio DP151 PAF Pro

I do know this mic when I test the Ibanez K7 and lag the beast custom.
what I liked the most, when I played on the beast and K7 is the opportunity to play as much as jazz blues; it really that grain-l !!
and I'm not talking about when splitt !!
cel further expands the possibilities !!
there is nothing that I have not liked !!
I ssay alot of other microphones before and mountains on reputable guitars; Seymour Duncan on a jackson Solost US DiMarzio custom van halen a musicman (a sound that breaks everything !!), gibson 490R on a les paul studio (a very versatile sound palette !!), EMG 81 on lag arkanne 1000 (the sound of Metallica and certainly the sound I CONSIDERED reference number as in the heavy-metal !!) .... and many more !!
I think this is a srieux investment for the one who wants to get that kind of sonoritsl.
after having the test the beast and K7 is the microphone that I am up in the neck position; Therefore, there are chances that I make this choice !!

The PAF Pro was actually one of the original pickups that DiMarzio made, and it’s one of those that really started to catch on during the whole 80s rack scene. I remember everyone running these pickups back in the day - Paul Gilbert, Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and the list just keeps on going. A lot of OEM manufacturers actually started putting this pickup in their guitars too. This came stock in lots of Ibanez guitars, and it even came stock in my one Fender stratocaster. The output is enough in that it’ll work in either the neck or the bridge. In the bridge, it matches great with single coils and other medium output neck pickups. It’s fairly open sounding with some slight bite on the top end. In the neck, you get one of the famous neck tones of the 80s. It’s clear and bright without sounding too trebly or thin. It’s also quite dynamic, which is something a lot of people had issues with when they started running a lot of rack gear back then. However, the pickup seems to be a bit dated today. While I still really enjoy this pickup, I recently sold off my last one because it’s just not what I’m looking for these days. I’m starting to prefer more modern sounding pickups as of late, and so I decided to part ways with this. That said, if you’re looking for one of the most versatile pickups ever made, this could suit you. It all depends on what kind of tone you’re aiming for. Today’s DiMarzios come with four conductor wiring, so if you want to experiment with different wiring setups, this would probably be the perfect pickup to do so. It seems to work in anything you throw at it and work in any configuration you wire it in.

- I use the microwave for 2 months coupled with a tonezone. what I love about this mic is its versatile: it does everything and goes anywhere o. in bridge, it's clear, warm, dynamic. in neck, it's serious, prcis and always hot. its output level is 310 mV according to the benchmarks, so it's not bad.
high quality of the microphone: it is splittable, so we use a coil of the two, making a super clear sound ... it's a good lens fender amp that rgalera!

- I did not test other mics before, I followed the advice and that we see the MRIT of exprience, they just advise.

- The report qualitprix ... I said excellent if I had had 75 euros, but the 112 euros, of course you pay the quality is normal. and believe me its worth it 112 euros.

- I not only referrer choice, but I will more actively advocate speak well of the micro. do not dry up compliments on (a) good (s) Product (s).

Rcup 'my opinion of 22/02/2004
Micro Alnico, 4 son.
Mont original neck on a Lag in 1991 (with Fred in bridge).
B'en is the DiMarzio, prcis in a friendly.
He did not gain crazy, but it has a fairly sound palette toffe.
It is round and smooth, while restoring proper (therefore have a clean game!) Each note. And it sounds from hell with a good distortion or a big crunch.
Clearly, it is still round and soft, warm enough to sound level. Frquentable Trs.
I loved the neck microphone. Since then, I found him just as friends frquentables among DiMarzio, the Zone and Air Norton, in the SH10N Duncan "Full Shred", and in the EMG 85 and 60.

In short, an excellent micro neck, again, it works well with a trs Fred or Tone Zone in bridge, among others.

I use it for 7 years. I first Discoveries by di Marzio Mountains of origin on the classic Strat floyd 90s, and that made me-di Marzio dpendant. Well I went to the paf pro is close enough to the micro "custom" of the so-called Start. Far, the clichés (microphones mtalos? Users look: Sonny Landreth practice he the head banging?), I found this micro plutt Swiss Army knife. This is one of the least typs, even if it brings the grain di Marzio (much smoother and less than a typ sh4 I got). It is not my prfr but carrmment ffective, especially bridge pickup. Because of satch, we think the neck pickup, but I find it somewhat arbitrary in this combination (ceci_dit I have not found the Holy Grail for the versatile neck pickup). In short, it is somewhat smooth ct the pearly gates in the balance of sound, with the tip of punch found in the tone zone. It will not be perfect for a particular style. But if you let your fingers do the sound, it's really not bad. In short, it is really his name paf pro.

PS: The mounting on Paul did not really convinced, but my standard is again in a serious default of tonal balance (lack of brightness or prsence: I have up until the duncan )

How long have you use it?

Ay is good, I just get a Dimarzio PAF Pro F-spaced in the bridge position on a Fender American Standard Stratocaster (alder body and rosewood neck).
I use the microwave for 3 months
I test the microphone and comments here:

The PAF Pro gives a good clean sound with not too low in saturated sound remains transparent and well-Dfine, with trs SIFL beautiful harmonics and good sustain. With the attack on mdiator, we can vary the crunch.
The PAF Pro is a micro more suited to guitar solos and instrumental music is a microphone that goes well in multi-effects. The sound is warm with a grain of PAF Gibson and some with not much bass.

Low = 5
Medium = 5
Acute = 6
Alnico 5 magnet =
Output = 300 millivolt
DC resistance = 8.4

The sound of this mic is like a grain of a shuffled paf Gibson, a Dimarzio Tone Zone and a Seymour Duncan SH4, the PAF Pro and a bit less bright (loud) that the SH4. The PAF Pro sounds as if filtered lgrement sound with a wah pedals, CA brings out the musical expression of most guitar solo.

With the PAF Pro is easily obtained that a sound Singing raproche that of Joe Satriani, Jimi Hendrix, Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush and Uli Jon Roth is the trs Beau's !!!!!
This microphone can play blues, rock, acid rock, hard rock and fusion, but to play metal and jazz rock's best to use a Tone Zone.

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?

I have several test: Gibson PAF, Tone Zone and Super Distortion Dimarzio, EMG SA 85, SH4 and SH12 Seymour duncan ...

- How do you report qualitprix?

Since this is a good microphone, the quality report is correct.

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...

Yes, because the microphone on a Fender Telecaster in the bridge position is the ball !!!!!
NB:
APRs have test several times, I confirm that the micro Dimarzio paf pro, and I think one of the best sounding pickups with Dimarzio incredible sound on a Stratocaster in the bridge position, a sound better that with a Tone Zone (Tone Zone on the strato, gave a darker sound with great bass).

Here are some samples on DIMARZIO PAF Pro, which I found on the web:

- How long have you use it?
I have been using 2004 on my main guitar with which I play several hours a day.

- What is the particular feature you like best and least?
For it is not in the bridge position and my amp is a Mesa / Boogie DC-3.
Assets:
The versatile-you go from blues to metal without concern for the people to know can use the knobs and you have a good amp (it goes everywhere but there is much trs).
The sound is cleverly-equilibrated I am probably not a good technician for the dcrire frquences but that's what I know of APRS my ears the bass are biting and prcises the frquences mdiums are solid but a bit less aggressive, high frequencies are emphasized just enough so they are readily apparent during solos without omniprsent be.
-The feeling of having a lightweight wedge wah sound on the treble range (a bit hard to explain but a lot of things change in the sound distortion).
The cleans-only good for a humbucker.

Cons:
-When a lack of even harmonics my taste no matter what we play.
-Some people find it too "cold", too thin, we like it or not but I think it has frankly can Drang.
-Much less is it a li versatilis micro boring quickly, much to the same extent as the Steve's Special or the D Sonic is good everywhere, it's always good trs, it was no surprise, is a micro clearly perfect. To give an example for those who do not understand this criticism too: I have a Jazzmaster original mics are "vintage" is to say that the pure salopries buzzent, which is a rather special and very grain s so hard typ easily exploit. When you start getting used all his default, is known to use them, exploit them, even in view to become quality, and we take his foot out his microphone off the beaten track to make it do something carrment dgant it surprised everyone, we are happy to spend hours tweaking his game vis vis the microphone and say what your exact is largely thanks all the efforts. The PAF Pro when it is played with 10mins and we know perfectly dj behavior, it has a short linear behavior trs no surprise, we know that ds will never be the beginners no work vis vis the micro, or trs trs little rsultat we find ourselves wondering how we will make sounds that come out of the ordinary story of doing something innovative and not rely on the PAF Pro for thunder ...

- Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
Not c'tait the first micro I bought (actually I took a long time for a micro trs way, this is after trying many other micro I understand how good it is silent)

- How do you report qualitprix?
CHRE hair in nine if you're not too sr his suit us 100%, knowing that for the same price artisan us a micro-made, otherwise I think it is worth its price

- With the exprience, you do again this choice? ...
In any honntet I have no ide, since I not a guy Discoveries trs away from home that makes microphones to measure for exactly the same price as the Most of the DiMarzios, I think that both go to the bottom and really have what you want. on the other hand, if one day I wanted to take me back a micro home anywhere, without a doubt be the one.

I note the 9 / 10, I think less would be a trs drive saw the quality of the microphone (which I think is one of the best among the major brands), but at the same time as I I explained you can quickly get tired of having a microphone as good everywhere. For the D Sonic, someone had compared to the good son, always polite, always lev arponse all that, well it just has too be too good ton is not and we do not raise intrt ...
