What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio AT-1
“The authoritative roar of the mids and the strong presence of the highs define chords and give solos a foothold.”
On the DiMarzio Gravity Storm
“The bridge has a little punch while presenting some bold high end and mids to spare.”
“Chimey, glassy, crystalline, but with a little snap and spank when pushed.”
