What players and reviewers say

On the DiMarzio D Sonic

“But, I just traded the D-Sonic (too thick and dark for me) in for a Steve's Special (hopefully a bit brighter and articulate)...”

“I wouldn't put the D Sonic in a baswood body cause basswood has tons of midrange and low end so your sound might turn to mud..”

On the DiMarzio Evo 2

“The Evo 2 is a bit more mid-rangy and the PAF Pro (on the neck) cleans up the mud a bit better.”
Crazy_Guitar · 2020-09-19Seymour Duncan forum ↗ (opens in a new tab)
“The EQ is a little tighter in the lows with more overall mids, if comparing to the Evolution.”
