All DiMarzio full-size humbuckers are available with both standard and F-spaced pole pieces. F-spacing is slightly greater, and should be used for the bridge position on almost all guitars with tremolo bridges or wide string-spacing. Guitars with a nut width of 1-11/16″ (43 mm) or greater should use F-spaced pickups in the neck position as well.

Designed to eliminate the sterile edginess commonly associated with active pickups.

D Activator™ Neck

DP219F BK

In 2006, we took a close look at the most popular active neck and bridge humbuckers to see if we could capture all of the good qualities and eliminate the disadvantages: cold sound, limited dynamics, running out of headroom when played hard, and the need for batteries. The end results are the D Activator™ Neck and Bridge. They use coils tuned to specific frequencies. The purpose is to shift the resonant points of the pickups to the fundamentals and harmonics that you want to accentuate from the guitar, and they respond instantly to hard or light pick attack. The sound is powerful, clean, and open, with excellent harmonic overtones and very tight lows. The best way to describe the D Activator™ Neck pickup is that it is big, bright, and open sounding with surprising string – to – string balance. The D Activator™ Bridge has an enriched harmonic quality and the notes want to sing.

Tech Talk

There’s a big difference between a pickup that sounds bright and one that sounds thin. A thin-sounding pickup will be brittle on the highest frets and empty-sounding in the mids and lows. The D Activator™ neck model doesn’t do this – both the wound and plain strings remain tight and bright up the neck, and very well balanced. This allows the D Activator™ neck model to function well in both longer scale bolt-ons and shorter scale, set-neck guitars. It also makes for a good bridge pickup if you want a sound with a lot of snap and power. Like all passive pickups, D Activators™ require controls with a minimum value of 250Kohms. 500K is the standard all around value, and our 1Megohm tone control is best for long cable runs.
