DiMarzio Virtual P90TM DP169
In the search for the ultimate soapbar pickup, DiMarzio has used
it's patented Virtual Vintage® technology to create
the Virtual P90TM. Although it appears
to be a conventional side-by-side humbucker, the pickup's performance
is very unconventional. The 2 coils have different frequency responses
and output levels. This enables the Virtual P90TM to
produce a very open, sonically accurate sound very much like a vintage
single-coil P-90, but with a very high degree of hum elimination. In
other words, it's quiet and it really rips.
Recommended For:
Neck and bridge positions.
Tech Talk:
An obvious question is how the Virtual P-90TM differs
from the DLX-90TM. The Virtual P-90TM is
a little more raw-sounding: high notes have a little more snap, and
low notes more growl. If you have a fairly warm-sounding guitar & amp
setup, the Virtual P-90TM would be a
good choice for neck & bridge positions. If your guitar is more on
the bright side, try the Virtual P-90TM in
the neck and the DLX-90TM in the bridge.
