DiMarzio Paf Pro Passive Humbucker Guitar Pickup (Black)

A mid-range spike that produces a subtle “aw” vowel, like a wah pedal parked halfway through its sweep, is what separates the DiMarzio PAF Pro® from darker humbuckers. It was developed when chops–heavy playing, high–gain amps and rack systems were taking over, and players needed a PAF®-style voice with real presence and cut. This passive humbucker in black keeps that open, vintage character while staying clear in a crowded signal chain.

Transparency is the point of the voicing. The PAF Pro® slices through heavy processing where darker pickups get lost in the mud of an effects chain. Low notes carry both snap and chunk, so palm mutes stay defined under gain. Treble response is tweaked so the highs stand out without turning brittle. It's an outstanding neck pickup in almost any guitar, and an exceptional bridge pickup when high output isn't required.
