Description
DiMarzio’s The Black Angel is the stealth-finished sibling to The Angel, and it inherits the same core mission: hearing your acoustic guitar completely, evenly, and without compromise. This is a passive magnetic soundhole pickup, so there’s no battery to babysit and no preamp to fuss with — just drop it in and plug in.
What sets The Black Angel apart isn’t just the matte black cosmetics. It’s engineered to track the guitar’s entire frequency range from low to high with no gaps or weak spots along the way, so chords ring out as balanced as they do unplugged. Beyond frequency response, DiMarzio paid close attention to feel — how the pickup reacts to the player, not just the string.
That responsiveness shows up in real playing situations. Dig in with your right hand and it reacts instantly; ease off and it follows you back down. Left-hand nuance, like hammer-ons, slides, and varying finger pressure, comes through clearly rather than getting flattened into a generic acoustic tone. The result is a plugged-in sound that stays connected to how you’re actually playing, not just what notes you’re fretting.
- Passive magnetic soundhole pickup

If you want your acoustic to sound like itself through an amp or PA — dynamic, expressive, and even across every string — The Black Angel is built for exactly that job.
