What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Fortitude
“The midrange is shifted more to the lower mids for a throatier vibe and more of a growl.”
“The lows will punch you in the chest, pick you up, and knock you back down again.”
On the DiMarzio Mo' Joe
“Physically, the Mo’ Joe feels very much like the modern DiMarzio standard: clean build quality, tight bobbin alignment, smooth legwork, and consistent winding.”
“The lows stay punchy, the mids remain broad and vocal, and the highs cut clearly without becoming harsh.”
