What players and reviewers say
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.”
“The EQ is a little tighter in the lows with more overall mids, if comparing to the Evolution.”
On the DiMarzio Evolution
“On the other hand the Evolution is brighter and extremely tight.”
“The evolution is definitely one tight pickup, which has a strange reputation on here for being bright from people who have never actually used it.”
