When DiMarzio® first decided to introduce a humbucking replacement for the "soapbar" and mini-humbucker, DiMarzio found that many players wanted a pickup with more power and definition. We wanted to preserve some of the clean and open character of the original soapbar, so we reduced the mids on the DLX Plus a little while making the lows tight and punchy and the highs strong and defined. The result is that the DLX Plus has power, but it´s not muddysounding. The Neck model has almost as much power as the Bridge model, with a leaner bass response so low notes sound more defined. Both come with 4-conductor cable for coil-splitting and parallel options.
Recommended For Bridge position in solid body guitars.
The DLX Plus was not designed to duplicate the sound of a standard soapbar. The sound is more like that of a modern full-size humbucker, most similar to a Steve's Special. Turning up an amp's midrange control, even with high gain, will produce a fat, punchy sound that retains a lot of definition. Cover dimensions: 3.38? x 1.38? x 0.75? (86 x 35 x 19 mm). Not available in a "dog-ear" version.
