DiMarzio FRED® humbuckers take the PAF Pro® up a notch with more gain, mid EQ and overtones. It's a sound with more crank and growl. FRED®'s wide, fat tone fills up a lot of space in the mix : a great pickup with combined lead / rhythm styles and power trio gigs.
DiMarzio DP-153 FRED - We designed FRED® to bump the mid-range of the PAF Pro® EQ up a notch, but in the process, something unusual happened. Harmonics that humbuckers usually don't reproduce started popping out, particularly with overdriven amps and distortion units. FRED® has about the same power as the PAF Pro®, but the unusual overtones create a sound with more crank and growl. Joe Satriani was the first player to discover and exploit these qualities, and it's been his main bridge pickup ever since. FRED® is really sensitive to changes in pick attack and control settings, and its distinctive tone makes a great recorded sound for both penetrating solos and tight rhythm tracks.
Recommended For: Neck and bridge positions in all solidbody, hollow and semi-hollowbody guitars.
