Very hot, tight and aggressive, with a dark top end.
Hotter than 89% of the 230 neck humbuckers we have

- Darker than a typical DiMarzio
“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.”

DiMarzio Gravity Storm Guitar Pickups for Steve Vai
Steve Vai - "Gravity Storm" Preview from his upcoming solo album "The Story of Light"
“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.”
“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.”
“Well in the neck i want more attack and sustain like the evos (or even the Gravity Storm, i like them too) would give me and the Bridge should have high treble, high bass and some middle.”
