What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Gravity Storm
“The bridge has a little punch while presenting some bold high end and mids to spare.”
“Chimey, glassy, crystalline, but with a little snap and spank when pushed.”
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.”
