The Tone Zone® has the most dramatic tone curve of the Modern Classic Humbuckers. The vowel-like open wah-wah feel of the PAF Pro® and FRED® is combined with tremendous mid-range and bass for a sound that really kicks hard.
Because the lows, mids, and highs are all boosted, using a Tone Zone feels like cranking up an extra set of tone controls. It adds further dimension to the sound of your amp - that elusive edge that can make a good-sounding rig into a great-sounding one. Notes seem to get bigger after they're picked, and burn hard as they sustain.
The Tone Zone has the right stuff to wake up your amp. Its ballsy, aggressive tone has plenty of drive in all the right frequencies, abundant gain to push preamps and power amps, and sensitivity to pick attack that gets the most out of any style from Metal to Blues.
Recommended For:
Bridge position in all solidbody guitars.
Tech Talk:
The Tone Zone is hot enough to qualify as a high-output pickup, but it has a wider dynamic range - hard picking will produce a lot of power, and softer picking will be much cleaner and quieter. Many models can be used in the neck position, from the Air Classic to the Air Zone; the PAF Pro and the Fred are also good choices. Higher-output single-coil replacements like the Cruiser and Fast Track 1 are also recommended.
What is F-spacing?
F-spacing refers to a wider polepiece spacing. For proper string alignment and balanced output, F-spaced humbuckers should be used in the bridge position on all guitars with string spacing at the bridge of 2.1" (53 mm) or greater. On these guitars, if the nut width is 1-11/16" (43 mm) or greater, F-spaced pickups can be used in the neck position as well.

Screaming pickup with a Different sound
I really like this pickup. It's a bit different than all my other humbucker pickups, and I like it for that. It seems to clean up well with the volume knob. Very nice EQ curve. Versatile for days. I love it.

Articulate and versatile
I have a Tone Zone installed on a single-PU EVH-style super strat and I couldn't be happier. I wasn't sure how good it was until I purchased a Wolfgang Standard and plugged it in to my rig. I quickly discovered the WG had half the volume of the ToneZone. Not saying the WG PUs are bad, just that on t...

Loud as Heck!
I have been using DiMaggio pick ups for 10 years and I have never had any pick ups louder than the tone zone in the bridge they were great and they’re even better if you’re running a fuss.
