Dimarzio DP228F Crunch Lab Electric Guitar Humbucker Pickup with Ceramic Magnet, 4 Conductor Wiring, Black with Black Pole Pieces.
The DiMarzio DP228F Crunch Lab pickup ensued from DiMarzio's most recent collaboration with John Petrucci of Dream Theater. He used it throughout Dream Theater’s tenth studio album, "Black Clouds & Silver Linings".
John swears this is the best live and studio sound he has ever had, and the name says it all - "crunch" is what it’s all about with a big, tight sound that’s neither muddy nor thin.
Tech Talk: The Crunch Lab is not a screamer, and it’s not about thundering lows. Its physical appearance is identical to the D Sonic, but the internal design is a lot different. It’s louder, and the highs have more depth. The lows and mids are more open, and this is crucial for playing chords with body and presence through a gained-out amp.
The voicing of the pickup is also different enough to the point that John prefers the Crunch Lab to be installed in almost all of his guitars with the solid bar toward the neck, regardless of the guitar’s tuning.
