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 Transition
“The Transition bridge has more high mids and less low end than the Air Zone, I wouldn't say it is bass heavy, but again, totally different guitar than you are asking about.”
“The PAF has more of a creamy midrange with just enough clarity up top while the Transition is a little hotter and more modern sounding.”
