What players and reviewers say
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.”
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.”
