What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Gravity Storm
“If you are looking for high mid crunch forget the Gravity Storm, I have that set in one of my guitars and it is a lot of lows and low mids with a rolled back high end.”
“However, to say the gravity storm will have scooped mids because it has an A5 is a stretch, as the Tone Zone example proves.”
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.”
