Description
The DiMarzio Tone Zone (DP155) was built to fix a specific problem: thin, buzzy-sounding bridge pickups that turn your guitar into a giant mosquito. This F-spaced version is voiced for humbucker-routed guitars with trem bridges, keeping the pole pieces aligned under the strings.
Despite its high-output pedigree, the Tone Zone isn’t a one-note wonder. Dig in hard and it delivers serious bass and low-mid muscle that thickens the entire sound, but ease off your pick attack and it cleans up nicely, revealing a wider dynamic range than most hot pickups can manage. Single notes carry real depth, chords sound huge, and DiMarzio’s patented dual-resonance coil design pulls out more overtone detail than you’d expect from something this fat and aggressive.
It’s designed and recommended for the bridge position in solid body guitars, pairing especially well with an Air Norton, PAF Joe, or PAF Pro in the neck. Wired for 4-conductor operation, it also splits cleanly into a usable single-coil voice if your wiring setup supports coil-splitting.
