DiMarzio Hot MinibuckerTM DP198

 

One reason the first mini-humbuckers were relatively quiet pickups was the small space inside the cover for the coils and magnet. Louder mini-buckers can sound muddy, as if the sound itself was crowded inside the pickup. We wanted a hotter, thicker sound, but we also wanted the pickup to speak clearly. The DiMarzio® Hot MinibuckerTM does this. It's both very warm and open-sounding, and 4-conductor wiring offers effective split and dual-sound options. Like all of our covered pickups, the DiMarzio® Hot MinibuckerTM is wax potted both before and after cover installation to eliminate microphonic squeal.

Recommended For:

All positions on solidbody guitars.

Tech Talk:

Although the Hot MinibuckerTM wasn't intended to be a 'metal' pickup and isn't extremely powerful, it's got a pronounced midrange punch that can work very well with high-gain amps, and enough dynamic response to clean up when the guitar's volume control is rolled down. It's also a very friendly neck pickup to play jazz with.
