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 Mirage
“The new Jake Bowen "Mirage" also looks somewhat promising with its emphasized lows/mids and rolled off high end..”
“The mids are pushed forward ever so slightly, in as much as to help firm up the lows and fortify the highs.”
