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 Satchur8
“Single note runs maintain clarity even with plenty of gain.”
“The PAF Joe delivers a warm and articulate neck tone with plenty of clarity, while the Satchur8 brings a more aggressive bridge voice with additional punch and harmonic presence.”
