« on: November 13, 2024, 01:05:13 AM »

There's also the aforementioned chart that buddroyce posted, regarding the output of all the pickups: http://www.dimarzioforum.com/pickup_compare/compare.php?ptype=all

Hello everyone. I’ve expanded and improved this list by adding some old and new humbucker models. I hope it will be helpful

The Pickup Place / Vintage Dimarzio PAF

« on: November 05, 2024, 11:46:01 PM »

I could achieve a Dimarzio PAF from late 70s (according to the Dimarzio officials) and lately i've get it on in my guitar. And the result is so sweet.

Nice review.

Have you ever considered demoing the EVO Neck in the bridge position, possibly in an HSS configuration?

I did but since i didn't have evo neck, i couldn't tried yet. As far as i remember evo neck has 6H inductance which i tend to like around mid output humbuckers with 5,5-6,5 Henries so evo neck has a big potential for the bridge.

I tend to prefer the Tone Zone in most applications where I need more beef and output. But the Tone Zone can be picky about guitars. Same with the JB, even more so.

Totally agreed. Tone Zone gets strats and supersrats sound full and meaty. But if the guitar is already "full", it goes "too much". That's where Super Distortion makes perfection, if that's the case

The Pickup Place / Re: Dimarzio LiquiFire Review

« on: July 13, 2024, 04:49:13 AM »

I like the Liquifire in the neck of Ibanez RG's and a PRS SE245 I have. Another neck pickup that is actually really similar, but a tad smoother is the Gravity Storm neck.

I haven't tried it before. Thanks for your addition btw

Good luck making an educated purchasing decision based on DiMarzio’s DCR specifications. Thankfully they provide really good and reliable product information. Seymour Duncan should take notice. 

I agree with Duncans. In the timeline they change some specs or re-calibrate, i'm not sure what it is but the values may change. The real problem is inconsistancy. I have seen many DCR values in a huge range, especially overwound humbuckers like JB. On the other hand i have seen Dimarzios from 80s, 90s or 2000s and specs are in a much narrower range and totally understandable.

I remember that chart and all of the Nazgûls being 666 mV. I also remember questioning the Full Shred Neck at 709 mV. I don’t have much confidence in any of it, to be honest. I’m not confident about SD’s published resonant frequency specifications either.

The list is not something you can trust fully. But it still is moething at least Nothing more.

The magnet, wire gauge and TPL are far more critical than DCR. DCR needs to die a slow painful death.

If it dies, pickup companies can't give any data. That's all they serve, unfortunately even for Dimarzio.

Just to be clear, the PATB-3 is the lowest output version of the three bridge models. The published specs show 9.8k DCR (42AWG) and 6kHz resonant frequency (same Fr as the SH-1 59B).

Hey buddy, PATB-3 has more output than 59. Okay not the double of '59 but still has more meat than the '59
There was once a project at Duncan about achieving output values in milivolts;
https://www.tonejourney.com/post/output-levels-of-seymour-duncan-in-milivolts
According to the values published (which i accept the result table is not all okay) TB-59 has 593 milivolts and PATB-3 has 694 milivolts.

And in search for a bright pickup, lower the DCR, higher the res. freq., better the results
