Super-hot spice that won't get lost in the sauce.
The DiMarzio PAF Pro® was created when chops-intensive playing was reaching high popularity, and
high-gain amps and rack systems were the norm. A pickup was needed that combined a lot of presence and "cut" with an open-sounding
PAF® vibe. The transparency of its sound lets the PAF Pro® slice through heavy processing, where darker-sounding pickups
get lost in the mud of the effects chain. Low notes have both snap and chunk, and there is a spike in the midrange that gives
the pickup a subtle "aw" vowel sound, like a wah-wah pedal stopped in the middle. Treble response is tweaked, so high notes
stand out without getting brittle. The PAF Pro® makes an outstanding neck pickup in almost any guitar, and it's an exceptional
bridge pickup when high output isn't required.
The PAF Pro® is a dependable choice right across the board - neck
and bridge positions, solidbody, semi-hollow and hollowbody guitars are equally effective uses.
This is a great building
block pickup, because it's effective in many different situations. Try it in the neck position with a hotter bridge pickup
- anything from a Norton® to a Super Distortion® will create a calibrated two-humbucker match. As a bridge pickup,
it's really effective with single-coils, because it won't drown them out with too much power, and it's bright enough to blend
in tone-wise.
