All user reviews for the DiMarzio DP216 Mo' Joe

- I use it for the past 1 year

- This is a great passive pickup with versatile trs trs you can do almost anything except perhaps the funk (and even I think it is splittable but not as I install it in fact humbucker delivers a pure clean any TRS parasite
It can deliver a round and warm like a slammed his most associated with a tube amp you will be pleased
Now the distortion: the micro currently used by Joe Satriani you can imagine with a saturated sound can be excellent even impressive passes without any problem for almost a saturation lgre crunch has its heavier metal up to
through all the shades used in other styles.

I ssay of seymour duncan trs friendly but also of all is the mo'joe I chose for ca versatility.

The report is excellent qualitprix is ​​the Dimarzio luckily I touch a 80 instead of 160 so for me an excellent report.

10/10 I recommend this mic to the experts of the GTT (guitar-road)

Dimarzio is one of the most popular pickup makers out there. They have been more popular in the shred guitar industry than Seymour Duncan. Duncan seems to have the more tradtional tones locked up while Dimarzio has a fully modern lineup across the board and is used by many guitar players who play modern music. This is the newer bridge pickup that Satriani has been using. A long time ago he designed the FRED pickup for his bridge position and now it was time for an update. Many people disliked the FRED because of its strange eq'ing and harmonics but this version is more usable for more people. This pickup has a better more suitable low end than the original FRED model had. And its midrange isnt as honky. The high end has been dialed back a bit to give it a smoother tone. 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. This pickup with the dialed back high end works very well in the neck position also. With the dialed back highs and more suitable low end you can get nice smooth high gain leads with this pickup. With the old FRED model the high end was so crazy the leads could hurt. With Satrianis style you can tell why he wanted so much high end and harmonics from his pickups. The Mo' Joe pickup gets everything Satch wants but in a more usable package that more people who are not Satriani can use. Dimarzio makes pickups to make money if someones Signature pickup is completely unusable it is not much good to them. If you want a good useable pickup that can still get extreme harmonics the Mo' Joe is a good choice but there are other pickups you can look towards.

I use it only recently, but I usually try a lot of microphones. So my opinion is that it is excellent. In his clear and it looks a little crunch to "Filtertron" Gretsch with a little less "twang" and more modern, thereby making Rockabilly "New Generation" as the bass and treble are chattering pronocées. In addition there are a lot of mediums. You do not lose the power of the riff by changing string during a solo because the microphone is very well balanced and we arrive at a clarity of notes fabulous. Even in its clear we can afford the legato and the Mo 'Joe picks out the notes you play your game and copy faithfully
In large distortion is impeccable. Its modern rock "old school" sound contemporary but powerful and if you want to improve your speed solos, that's what you need.
It is mounted knew a Les Paul Studio bridge, coupled with a Seymour Duncan JB SH4 neck. The two go together perfectly, it's a couple of hell.
Micro versatile, it pleases me and I would do it again this election.

Joe Satriani was looking to revise his FRED that he used throughout most of his career. The Mo’ Joe is what came out of his quest to find a new bridge pickup tone. It’s hotter and has a better EQ curve than the last one. It features an Alnico 5 magnet, adjustable pole pieces on both coils and four conductor wiring.

The original FRED was a pretty iffy pickup. Some people liked it, but quite a few weren’t huge fans of it. I was one of those people who really didn’t care for the FRED that much. It had some weird overtones going on and just sounded weird. The Mo’ Joe is a much better version of the FRED. It’s hotter, more even sounding and seems to have more touch sensitivity than the last one.

The low end on this blooms more than the FRED, the midrange is nice and fairly even, and the treble isn’t piercing. Satch uses this in the bridge, but it can work awesome in the neck as well with a hot humbucker. When you use it in the bridge, it’s like a nicer version of the PAF Pro with a bit more output. It can work great for blues, rock and even metal. In the neck, it delivers a fairly powerful tone but not too powerful. This allows you to do some real sick legato licks without struggling too much, yet it still has some cool touch sensitivity to allow you to express yourself more. Running it in split coil and parallel can deliver some interesting tones, too.

If you’re looking for a more modern version of the PAF while still retaining some vintage qualities, I’d say this pickup is worth checking out. It works in most woods, and it should have enough output to work for any situation.
