DiMarzio DP222BK D Activator X Bridge guitar pickup

General

For almost thirty years, the DiMarzio X2N has been the first choice for guitarists who want a powerful element. In recent years, DiMarzio has found a new way to make this extreme power go hand in hand with crisp and clear sound. Everything comes together in the design of the DP222BK D Activator X Bridge. This guitar element delivers high output with a surprisingly clean sound, even in combination with high-gain amps. In terms of appearance, the D Activator Bridge is identical to the DiMarzio X2N, but internal modifications make the sound slightly different, which gives this element its unique sound. The DiMarzio DP222BK D Activator X Bridge is suitable for all types of guitars, including models equipped with a Floyd Rose system.

DiMarzio X2N

The DP222BK D Activator X Bridge uses the same pole and magnet structure as DiMarzio's X2N, but is a very different kind of element. The output is slightly lower than the X2N and the two coils are tuned to give the high frequencies a more open sound. The lows and mids are also strongly represented, giving the D Activator X a deep and full character. It is possible to use this humbucker as a single coil, and in this mode it is very suitable for a clear, clean tone. Because there is less so-called 'magnet pull', the D Activator X allows the string to vibrate freely and the guitar has more sustain.
