DiMarzio The Humbucker From Hell
Very low output, clear and balanced, with scooped mids, a bright top end and tight lows.
Hotter than 2% of the 466 humbuckers we have
- Alnico 5 magnet: the common all-rounder: firm lows and clear highs
- Fewer mids than a typical DiMarzio
- Brighter than a typical DiMarzio
- Tighter lows than a typical DiMarzio
“It keeps the tighter low-end of the Humbucker from Hell, but has some of that glassy single coil character of the Paf Pro on the top end.”

DiMarzio Humbucker From Hell & Liquifire- The Demo You Can Use
“That's right, this is a cure for a muddy low end out of a neck pickup.”
“The low end is punchy and defined, while the highs are crisp and cut through the mix.”
“I'm totally open to clear, single coil-voiced humbuckers like the Humbucker From Hell, which I agree might be close to what I want in full humbucking mode but probably wouldn't work out if split..”
“It keeps the tighter low-end of the Humbucker from Hell, but has some of that glassy single coil character of the Paf Pro on the top end.”
“Get the DiMarzio Norton (Crunch from Hell but it's still clear) or the Breed neck model.”
