Power, tone, and definition.
Joe Satriani has used the Fred as his main bridge pickup for years. This year Joe asked DiMarzio for
a hotter and bigger version to replace the Fred in his Ibanez guitars. In response, DiMarzio created the DP216 Mo' Joe Bridge
Pickup, and it's all about tone and definition. The name says it all. It has more power than the Fred, but it doesn't sacrifice
clarity or dynamics.
Additionally, all the harmonics that made the Fred guitar pickup so good are all there, ready
to jump out at the touch of a guitar pick. Having more output makes it a perfect match for the PAF Joe in the neck position.
The combination delivers great versatility and control from rhythms to solos.
Recommended For: bridge position, solid
and semi hollowbody guitars.
Tech Talk: The last few years have seen Joe develop a new signature tube amp and start
using heavier-gauge strings more often. Both developments emphasized the importance of the Mo' Joe™ pickup in having
a high degree of string separation without sounding sterile or processed. DiMarzio achieved this by slightly increasing the
distance between the center frequencies that the coils are tuned to, without increasing DC resistance. The result is a pickup
that's both hotter and more articulate.
