bluediamond89I love it!!!!!!!!
Published on 12/05/12 at 06:26The guitar is a J&D Les Paul copy. Made in taiwan, mahogany back/maple top, bolt on maple/rosewood neck. The guitar is acoustically loud, and brighter than typical les paul.
I have owned duncan TB 4,5,6,12,15. Dimarzio Evo, Evo2, TZ, Super 3, Paf Pro, FRED.
The AT-1 is so far the best of them all.
The sound is fat but not dark, it's very balanced. Tight compact bass, thick syrupy low mids.
The high notes scream, but in very musical way compared to dimarzio EVO (more complexity and depth). Perhaps due to AT's Alnico 5 magnet as opposed to EVO's ceramic.
Solo playing is a joy with this pickup. It is laden with harmonics. Great sustain.
It responds well to dynamics in pick attack.

Compared to dimarzio Tone Zone (a highly popular model from dimarzio), the AT-1 does not sound exaggerated in the mids. The sound is classic, with a touch of fatness.
Much more natural, much more versatile.
Better lead tones, and better harmonics.
For heavy rhythm playing it sounds really brutal. In my experience it can get a bit flabby with dropped tunings. The guitar, being 24.75' scale might be to blame on this. But for normal tuning, it's really thick and brutal.
I find it a bit strange Mr.Andy Timmons use this pickup with normal output single coils. Because in my experience it has plenty of power. It kinda overpower my neck pickup (stock pickup, vintage PAF output level, gonna replace soon).
Honestly I'm thinking of loading all my future humbucker guitars with the AT-1. It's that good.

RiceEatin2010GTKinda reminds me of the older JB pickups
Published on 10/21/12 at 16:08Andy Timmons is an awesome player, and he always had a great tone. I attribute a lot of that to the fact that I naturally gear towards the Mesa/Boogie tone, but he also has a great taste in pickups. In his custom Ibanez guitar, he has this AT-1 pickup, and it sounds great. In fact, it sounds a lot like the old school JBs of yesteryear. For those who don’t know, the JB used to be made differently than it is today. Today’s JBs are a bit harsher and not quite as organic as they used to be. The DiMarzio AT-1 seems like an attempt at trying to sound like the old Duncan JB pickup from way back when. It has this very pleasing midrange to help push the amplifier, but it isn’t so hot that...…

For those who don’t know, the JB used to be made differently than it is today. Today’s JBs are a bit harsher and not quite as organic as they used to be. The DiMarzio AT-1 seems like an attempt at trying to sound like the old Duncan JB pickup from way back when. It has this very pleasing midrange to help push the amplifier, but it isn’t so hot that it’s trying to absolutely destroy the amp with input. The best thing about this is how nicely it responds to volume control adjustments. You can really work the volume knob for amps that don’t really have a master volume. I’m talking about old school Marshall amps. In fact, that’s what this pickup seems to be geared towards. Put this in a stratocaster and run your guitar through an old JMP, and you have a magical tone. Granted, Andy Timmons uses a mahogany bodied guitar with a Mesa/Boogie, but either works great. His tone is dark and smooth, whereas the Marshall one would be grindy and in your face for that perfect hard rock sort of tone. This pickup can even do metal, although it probably wouldn’t be as great as some of the other pickups that DiMarzio has to offer. This is one of my top five favorite bridge pickups that DiMarzio has to offer, so if you ever get the chance, I think it’s worth giving it a spin. It should work in pretty much any body wood you can think of.

tonmazzDiMarzio AT-1 is pretty good
Published on 08/17/12 at 22:36I never actively sought this pickup out but happened to pick up and Ibanez that had it in already. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised the first time I plugged it in. It wasn't an overly hot pick up, especially compared to the pickups I had to compare it to which at the time were a Motorcity Afwayu and a Tone Zone. With its Alnico 5 magnet, I knew it wasn't going to be as hot as a ceramic pick up but on its own merit, it does pretty well. The initial reaction is to say that you wish it had more guts in comparison. When not comparing the AT-1 to anything but itself, you find that it is a very warm pick up and truly has nice tonal qualities. It is very warm in the mids...…

With its Alnico 5 magnet, I knew it wasn't going to be as hot as a ceramic pick up but on its own merit, it does pretty well. The initial reaction is to say that you wish it had more guts in comparison. When not comparing the AT-1 to anything but itself, you find that it is a very warm pick up and truly has nice tonal qualities. It is very warm in the mids without giving you the grinding rip of a Tone Zone, but there is something pleasing about the mids it does produce. I think I would have to say the bass response is the same way, not over the top and pounding but I suppose well balanced is the word I'm looking for. I would say this is certainly not a metal pick up although you can get away with it certainly. I would suggest this as a classic to hard rock pick up, leave the metal to something with a bit more teeth. Definitely worth the money I paid and I sure wouldn't hesitate to grab a guitar that already had one in it. With my style of heavier music, I would probably not seek one out but I wouldn't rip one out and replace it either. I would make it work for the songs that it fits as it has pleasing tonal qualities to it. I think the DiMarzio AT-1 is a solid choice and at a fair price.

tjon901Modern PAF with tons of low end
Published on 08/12/11 at 08:57Andy Timmons is a slightly lesser known guitar player but he is really good. He is one of the more traditional sounding Ibanez players. He first became famous in his 80s glam band Danger Danger. His signature guitars kind of mix traditional tones with modern playability. He mostly uses single coils in his guitar but this is one of his signature humbucker models. Dimarzio is always working with its artists to constantly improve their tone and evolve their sound. This is the AT-1 Dimario. Like most Dimarzio humbuckers it is a modified version of their PAF pro pickup. It has 4 conductor wiring so it can be split and it has an alnico 5 magnet.

Dimarzio is always working with its artists to constantly improve their tone and evolve their sound. This is the AT-1 Dimario. Like most Dimarzio humbuckers it is a modified version of their PAF pro pickup. It has 4 conductor wiring so it can be split and it has an alnico 5 magnet. The pickup is pretty hot. It has an output of 16k. For Andy Timmons sound he wanted to take the PAF but have it with more low end to it. It is designed for strat scale guitars with mahogany bodies. The EQ on this pickup is slanted towards the low end. The mids and the bass are about equal but the high end is cut a bit. This pickup is very sensative to your volume knob inputs. Not many pickups are this dynamic to your inputs on the controls. Because Timmons is such a single coil player the split tones on this pickup are not an afterthought. Usually when you cut a humbucker in half you get a pretty weak single coil tone but on this pickup the single coil tone is pretty nice. Not many people will be using this pickup for metal but you can really do it. It is hot enough and the low end is not flubby so you could get by but I would not recommend it. If you want a more beefy sounding PAF pickup that has some great split tones this is a good pickup to get.
