Your cart is empty.The Tone Zone has the most dramatic tone curve of the Modern Classic Humbuckers. The vowel-like open wah-wah feel of the PAF Pro and compatible with FRED is combined with tremendous mid-range and bass for a sound that really kicks hard. The vowel-like open wah-wah feel of the PAF Pro and compatible with FRED is combined with tremendous midrange and bass for a sound that really kicks hard. Because the lows, mids, and highs are all boosted, using a Tone Zone feels like cranking up an extra set of tone controls. It adds further dimension to the sound of your amp - that elusive edge that can make a good-sounding rig into a great-sounding one. Notes seem to get bigger after they're picked, and burn hard as they sustain. It's the right stuff to wake up your amp. Ballsy, aggressive tone has plenty of drive in all the right frequencies, abundant gain to push preamps and power amps, and sensitivity to pick attack that gets the most out of any style from metal to blues. Hot enough to qualify as a high-output pickup but with a wider dynamic range. Hard picking will produce a lot of power and softer picking will be much cleaner and quieter.

Put this on in the bridge position of my Ibanez RG. It dose the snarling rock thing when you have overdrive. It's also loud enough you won't need a boost pedal.

Guitar is a 1987 Ibanez RG560, basswood body, maple neck, rosewood fingerboard, locking Edge trem. Originally I had two DiMarzio Fast Track 1 pups in the neck and middle positions and a DiMarzio Breed Bridge in the, well, bridge position, but the guitar being what it is my sound was always too bright. The Tone Zone has less highs, but more mids and lows, so now the guitar really talks! You know what they say, the "vowel" sound, nice and round, almost like a weak wah-wah pedal set somewhere in the middle and left there. I really dig the sound. It's plenty hot, I play it through a 1967 Fender Bandmaster that has been converted into a 1-12 combo (Weber Ceramic Blue Dog speaker) and play through a mess of pedals, most importantly two Nady TD-1 Tube Distortion units (one set dirty, the other very dirty) and an Xotic Effects EP Booster (get one, they are remarkable) plus the usual wah, flanger, chorus, reverb, couple of delays. Really do like the pickup, I would recommend it if that's the sound you're looking for. Harmonics jump out, tone is full (even with amp set clean; well, as clean as it can be seeing that there is only one volume pot per channel, but I run both channels and the volume depends on the gig. Bigger gigs, amp is at 7, so there's some natural, delicious tube breakup. Smaller gigs, it's cleaner because the volumes are lower. Tried an attenuator, but it makes boost pedals useless, and squashes everything. Back to the pickup, if you like a rounder, more vocal sound, try it. This may be, and almost certainly is, psychosomatic, but I think the other pups sound better, too, since I installed the Tone Zone! I know, it's silly, but maybe it's because I have things set up a little differently tone-wise at the amp (or amp modeler in Logic). YMMV, but I really like the Tone Zone.

From the fist time I picked up a guitar I've been on a quest for a commination of ultimate tones. Searching for a tone that's unique to thee individual guitarist, is a dis-ease/sickness that most of us guitar players have--(obviously I mean this in a good way...because it's truly a beautiful thing). However, I've used these Dimazio Tone Zone's in 2 different Les Pauls throughout the years--bridge position only. I've also used them through several different amp set ups (e.g: Marshall, Mesa Boogie, Bogner, Peavey, Vox, Carvin, Soldano, Fender, A.R.T., etc.)both with
