I prefer with the Air zone, the sound is thicker and not sharp sound when distortion is on.. I think I'm gonna put this Air zone in the bridge, and pair it with utopia neck in the neck.

@Khike, I actually have an Injector Neck in the neck position, Heavy Blues 2 in the middle, and a Sugar Chakra in the bridge of my Squier Sonic Strat. Finishing wiring it up now, but if your videos are any indication, I just built a tone monster perfect for heavy rock and Texas blues.

These 2 pickups were recommended to me on my Charvel Model 5FX. My Charvel has an EMG-81 & slant EMG neck single coil, features a neck-through construction with a maple neck and poplar body. It's the only guitar I have with active pickups and I'm looking for good replacement passive pickups for it.
@angusorvid88408 ай бұрын
I'd go with the Air Zone. The high end is better than the AT-1 which is a tad too trebly. Just remember to adjust your amp accordingly. The Air Zone has a very full low end and turning down the Bass while turning up the Treble and Presence helps dial in a solid tone. Most pickups are on the trebly side, including EMGs. The Air Zone has a tapered high end. It's easier on the ears than an 81 or a Duncan JB.

Air zone sits better in the mix. If band has more instruments than just guitars air zone allows to beautifully harmonize all the instruments. Air zone drawback is a poorly accentend rhytm section which is a pos of AT in the comparison, so harder genres probably will suffer using air zone because of soft sound compression, probably thats why tone zone was introduced - to workaround this limitation and fix rhytm clarity and make pickup more versatile

Thank you for this. I am looking at both of these pickups right now. You just made up my mind for the Air Zone. The AT-1 has a high mid honk that I do not like. The Air Zone has a warm and balanced tone with clarity.
@angusorvid88408 ай бұрын
The Air Zone and the Tone Zone are my two favorite bridge pickups of all time. I find the AT-1 a bit too much on a high end, although it's still a great pickup, much better than a JB. When Andy Timmons went to DiMarzio he, like Eddie, had been using Duncan JBs for years. I preferred the tapered high end of the Air Zone because it's easier to live with when you crank up the high gain. Just dial back the Bass, turn up Treble and Presence and it balances out very well.

Just listening thru the phone… I find the AZ to be more even sounding but a bit messy with higher gain. The AT1 is very tight (compressed) which allows for better definition but loses out for me when handling rhythm parts where you’d like the chord to fade or bleed a bit more. I have owned an AZ a long time ago in a warmth strat… I didn’t like it at that time. Weird mid range vowel sounding? I have a TZ in a partocaster and like it fairly well. Was considering the AT to tame some of the messiness (bring about a bit better definition with similar eq… but now after hearing the AZ - I’m thinking to hold off and reconsidering the AZ. There’s a balance and compromise I guess? Great demo btw… was really helpful to hear in the mix! Thanks for posting

DiMarzio says on their site that the Andy timmons pick up has a little trouble response which is what I was looking for for this new guitar I got which is all Maple body neck fingerboard everything and what's in it now is too bright however it says it's designed to go into a mahogany body why would you design a pickup with a little trouble I can't figure that out and from some of the comments on here they've said that the Andy timmons seems to have a high-end Spike to it. I can't really tell over my crappy phone speaker.
