DiMarzio D Activator Humbucker Set STD NK F SP Brdg Black for 42mm Nut 1-5/8

The DiMarzio D Activator Humbucker Set contains one D Activator Neck standard spaced neck pickup and one D Activator Bridge F-spaced bridge pickup. Easy to install they’ll bring a variety of powerful new tones to your guitar. DiMarzio took a close look at the most popular active neck and bridge humbuckers to see if they could capture all of the good qualities and eliminate the disadvantages: cold sound limited dynamics running out of headroom when played hard and the need for batteries. The end results are the D Activator Neck and Bridge. They use coils tuned to specific frequencies. The purpose is to shift the resonant points of the pickups to the fundamentals and harmonics that you want to accentuate from the guitar and they respond instantly to hard or light pick attack. The sound is powerful clean and open with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight lows. The best way to describe the D Activator Neck pickup is that it is big bright and open sounding with surprising string – to – string balance. The D Activator Bridge has an enriched harmonic quality and the notes want to sing. Both the D Activator Neck and Bridge pickups were designed to eliminate the sterile edginess commonly associated with active pickups. The D Activator Bridge pickup is about 25% louder than the D Activator Neck. Developing both pickups as a set from the ground up DiMarzio adjusted the volume levels on the pickups so they are balanced. That way when you switch from the neck to the bridge you don’t hear a drop in volume – also a frequent problem with active pickups. And they don’t use batteries. D Activator Neck There’s a big difference between a pickup that sounds bright and one that sounds thin. A thin-sounding pickup will be brittle on the highest frets and empty-sounding in the mids and lows. The D Activator neck model doesn’t do this – both the wound and plain strings remain tight and bright up the neck and very wellTuned to frequencies that matter for guitar Accentuates stronger fundamentals and harmonics Responds instantly to hard or light pick attack Excellent harmonic overtones and very tight lows Big bright and open sounding
