New DiMarzio Tone Zone

Sound check. The compression and bad laptop mic tend to make filter out the frequencies that distinguish the distorted neck and bridge sounds. These are three-month-old strings. The guitar is going through a VoodooLab Sparkle Drive (gain 9, tone 1, clean 1, volume Dimed) then into my Roland Cube 30 (the awesomest transistor amp ever built). First Clean, followed by Mesa-R-Fier, and Marshall distorted sounds respectively.

Pots weren't swapped, but this strat has the "delta tone" system which bypasses the bridge pot when set to 10. I raised the pickup height after making this video and the difference is night and day - more bite and crunch.

After swapping this in this pickup I realized that Fender actually makes 57' Hot Rod Strat with the same Tone Zone pickup in the bridge position.

hey man i bought jb's but humbuckers the neck sounds great but the bridge sounds a little thin and weak but it think it because the height from the strings is to far what do you think?

thanks for making this. I just ordered one for my strat. Did you decide if you like it or not? I've tried the super distortion S before, and it's pretty good. if you still find this one has a weak output, i'd suggest getting a super distortion S and putting your tone zone in the neck position.

@Guitarstring187 nope the 57' hot rod, has a tone zone S just like this one

So fender uses the tone zone in a hss model. Because i have the tone zone humbucker i hope i still get the jangle in the second switch position

Did you swapped the pots as well?
