The Tone Zone is a beast—a seriously hot humbucker that'll push your amp hard and give you a huge, aggressive lead tone. It's fantastic for rock, metal, and anything that needs serious punch and a vocal midrange. If you’re looking to add some serious bite and sustain, this is a great choice.

Product Description

DiMarzio DP155 BK, Pickup for Electric Guitar

The DiMarzio Tone Zone is a truly loud humbucker that can even teach lazy amps to sing and roar. Even with high gain, the sound can prevail thanks to the convincing overtone spectrum, almost like an open wah wah pedal, but without the typical restricted sound of this popular way of making lead sounds more assertive. This is ensured by the tremendous bass and mids, which deliver a mighty sound.

  • Humbucker
  • Boosted basses
  • mids and highs
  • Fat sound
  • rich in overtones
  • Alnico V magnet
  • Output: 375 mV
  • DC resistance: 17.31 K
  • Colour: Black
PROS
  • • Alnico V magnet delivers a powerful, articulate high-output tone.
  • • Excellent mid-range presence cuts through dense mixes and amp settings.
  • • Provides a unique 'open wah' effect without the typical restrictions.
  • • Robust construction ensures durability and consistent performance over time.
CONS
  • • High output might be overwhelming for vintage-voiced guitars or amps.
  • • Can be a bit muddy in lower tunings if EQ isn't carefully managed.
  • • Limited versatility – excels in high-gain scenarios, less suited for clean tones.

Frequently Asked Questions

The Super Distortion is also high-output, but the Tone Zone has a more refined upper-midrange and a slightly tighter low-end, offering more clarity.
Yes, but be prepared for a significant output boost; it’ll likely need some tweaking to tame the high gain and retain some warmth.
It's most prominent with distortion or overdrive; cleaner settings will largely negate the effect, as it's created by the pickup’s overtone complexity.
