All user reviews for the DiMarzio DP153 Fred

Notice mitigbr /> I can not get to have the note lasts, wheezing prs amp as a sh4
and when I drop the floyd's nothing there.

Forward with a js 100 + sh4, I could play with the note face the amp.

Fred has 1 voucher sound prcis, but specialists solos!
I would aim + acute and More mdiums, bass, everything.
Must say that the guitar is mahogany either

But if you like the game Satch and sound, we must.
For cons, I do not play with 3 Peavey heads home

Satch Satch is: the microphone is best for him

305mv it that nothing do with the other mics sh 4 SH6 or Evolution

I'll change pt be when I have toured the song Satch
problem if I change my js 1200, I lose her Satch!

Alnico microphone, 4 son (splittable, what!).

Mont bridge on my Lag in 1991 (with a PAF Pro in neck).

B'en is the DiMarzio, trs prcis, the sound does not bleed into the grave, in contrast, I think some of Duncan I had on hand.
It has a gain more than enough for the metal, and addresses other styles without problem (in beulouze cool in big rock).
It reproduces itself (thus have a clean game!) Each note, so each loaf!

The harmonics come out by themselves! He is incisive, he dmarque really a group, are a bit mdiums creuss, serious well rounded, and treble fuse! Excellent in rhythm. With a large distortion, all agreements are ringing, unlike other microphones that make hand when doing anything but powerchords.

Hyper effective lead.

The pub saying he has the sound of a wah stuck in the middle is quite excessive, but it is true that there was a little even when in yrflchissant

In short, it's a fairly typical leagues of Evolution (dull but loud ... how to say ...).

Clearly, the highs are still Submitted, may snap a bit, but remains largely bearable.

I lai test neck, and not so good: it dun did not roundness PAF Pro for example.

In short, a nice alternative to the Tone Zone and other SH4.

Mountain home on my Floyd Classic Start I finally change this because it silent micro hair calf ant too just for me but I admit disto particulirement be difficult on this point. Besides its successor does not give me satisfaction Fully either (HS6).

I nanmoins much this micro AIM for its ability to blend in a lot of cases to figure and rev sounds convincing. The finesse and the versatile are its main assets. Harmonics resortent well and the possibility of split worth dtour mdium because if the microphone is a quality we have right sound palette trs apprciables including all rythimiques bluzy and funky sitting on crunches or cleans a little crados.

It meets at least the relief well and the game lends itself well to large variations in tone and all sorts of effects bizarodes. I find particulirement suitable for all styles fairly soft, blues funk pop, rock, or varitoche zyk exprimentale.

So I mount the microphone stick at the same time a tone zone on a ibanez RG570EX.
I hesitated a lot between him and the PAF Pro, but for this microphone, so given that most of the time I play micro acute position, I wanted something more typical, so I took the risk .
Basically I did not like it at all, I was too round too incisive. Then one day I hazard a sharp boost on the EQ, I tried a solo and it was the revelation, the sound was a lot more body than the other microphone while finding the cot inscisif he needed and with it something quite indefinable that makes me think a drop of water. Now for the solos I no longer use that microphone.
Ultimately, a sound enough attypique, and you have to grind a bit to find his happiness, but once found it on foot.

The Dimarzio FRED is one of Satrianis crazy creations that pretty much only he can use properly. Satriani wanted a tweaked pickup for his signature model Ibanez guitar and this is what we got. It is a PAF pro with the craziness dialed way up. Overall tone is similar to that of a PAF pro one of Dimarzios most popular pickups. It seems that many of Dimarzios pickups are based on the PAF pro, like they take the PAF pro and slightly tweak it to get whatever specific tone they are looking for with the new pickup. This is not a bad approach considering the PAF pro is one of their most popular and well known models. The mids are way boosted with this model. They are way over the top and honky sounding on the FRED. In this way it almost like a single coil. Along with these crazy mids you get ridiculous harmonics that just pop out whenever you want. You can tell this pickup was made for Satriani because he is not one to hold back on the harmonics and dive bombs. Because this pickup is so crazy it will be all but useless in a guitar with any bright species of wood. A very dark wooded guitar could possibly tame this pickup but it is a longshot. This pickup is crazy as a fox. Because this pickup is so bright and honky it overall comes off with a thin tone. This is why a darker guitar could help the pickup. Overall I would not really recommend this pickup for anything. There are better pickups for darker guitars and this pickup is just way to specialized. This is another example of a signature item that should not have been mass produced. The artists specifications are so extreme that only the artist can really use it.

The DiMarzio FRED was designed after they tried to adjust the PAF Pro’s midrange as per Joe Satriani’s request. However, this doesn’t really sound like a PAF Pro with the midrange boosted. Instead, it has some sort of odd overtones that are happening. Like most of DiMarzio’s pickups, this comes with allen head bolts on both coils and four conductor wiring. The magnet is an Alnico 5, so it’s a bit more “alive” than most of the ceramic pickups that they offer.

The DiMarzio FRED is not like a normal PAF Pro. This pickup is almost similar to a single coil at times but without the hum. The low end is very tight, the midrange is even and the treble is clear to the point where it’s almost too much. Joe Satriani used this pickup in the bridge position for the longest time, but it can just as easily be used in the neck with a higher output bridge pickup.

If you have a dark guitar, this could suit it. Those looking for a somewhat single coil attack but with no hum will probably like this. It’s different sounding than the PAF Pro, so if you’re in love with that tone, you’ll probably want to check out something else. The Breed would be a good alternative in that case. The split sounds on this are pretty bright but nothing to really write home about. I couldn’t find a real use for the split sounds. Guitars with solid mahogany bodies and mahogany necks might be a good match with this. However, I can’t say I’m a big fan of this pickup. It was just kinda thin sounding without any real good redeeming qualities. Joe Satriani made it work, though, so it could be a useful pickup in your guitar. It all depends on the style and tone you’re going for.

I mounted this week on a Chinese imitation Paul Reed Smith Custom 22 bodies mahogany table Saddle flame.
I tried and availing oneself of a lot of models, custom wound DiMarzio tone zone and air box (mounts on my parker fly deluxe), EMG 81, DiMarzio Tone Zone,
seymour-duncan SH1, DiMarzio custom wound on Mount musicman axis, GFS H05 ...
I like the fact that it sounds as good as its clear that its saturated.
excels in its clear the game in hand, its is really saturated, and the nuances mdiator are transcribed.
v that I bought on ebay almost half price than what is found in commerce, the report qualitprix is unbeatable.
with exprience, I want to buy other pickups because I am not the man a microphone!
ah! ah! ah!
