DiMarzio FRED DP153

DiMarzio_ FRED_ DP153

We designed FRED_ to bump the mid-range of the PAF Pro_ EQ up a notch, but in the process something unusual happened. Harmonics that humbuckers usually dont reproduce started popping out, particularly with overdriven amps and distortion units. FRED_ has about the same power as the PAF Pro_, but the unusual overtones create a sound with more crank and growl. Joe Satriani was the first player to discover and exploit these qualities, and its been his main bridge pickup until the introduction of the Mo' Joe_. FRED_ is really sensitive to changes in pick attack and control settings, and its distinctive tone makes a great recorded sound for both penetrating solos and tight rhythm tracks.


Recommended For
Neck and bridge positions in all solidbody, hollow and semi-hollowbody guitars.

Tech Talk
FRED_ started out as a prototype designed to add a little midrange to the PAF Pro_. When we sent one of the first ones to Joe Satriani, he discovered and exploited a unique tonal characteristic _ the ability of the FRED_ to emphasize upper midrange and treble harmonics through an overdriven and distorted amp. Many standard humbuckers have a tendency to fatten up with distortion. The FRED_ does the opposite; it gets tighter and brighter, much like a single-coil. Joe uses the FRED_ strictly as a bridge pickup, but it's also a distinctive neck pickup _ it works really well with any humbucker of equal or higher output.
