Antoine Dufour demos DiMarzio's The Black Angel Piezo and Magnetic Pickups

[@turinreza]

the Black Angel Piezo dp235 has a 3.55 input jack for the Black Angel dp234 magnetic directly attached to the endpin it comes with so you can connect it directly to the sound hole Black Angel pickup. You just have one output but it is TRS stereo. A regular guitar cable will just pick up the piezo pickup but if you split the trs into 2 mono signals you can have both the piezo and magnetic coming out so you can preamp them on a mixer.

One of my fav guitarists! :D

[@Dianji]

oh my god.. this reworked "Spiritual Groove" version is just AWESOME sounding! Have to update mine into that RIGHT F***ing NOW!

[@danlindberg1940]

I just cant help but love anything this guy plays

[@JOELIOUS]

Woaah. I want to hear this new version of "Spiritual Groove"

[@Fast4b]

SOLIDE le remake à la fin, très hâte d'écouter ton prochain album!

[@AkiraSpectrum]

beautiful sound.

[@damonstewart70]

so beautiful!!! thanks Larry DIMARZIO!!!! this is inspiring

[@TMoody]

God, that sounds good.

[@frankie28web]

Wow, that guy knows how to play an acoustic guitar!

[@DavidePepi]

that's a great combo but I still prefer the sound and the air of a piezo + internal mic system expecially if you are into percussive fingerstyle ...all soundhole magnetic P.U are great for wet or overdriven signals since they should be quite feedback free but they still sound a bit plastiky! You guys of DiMarzio should develop a great piezo+ mic or mag+mic system...It would definitely rock this world! cheers

[@LarryDiMarzio]

+Davide Pepi Hi, Thanks for your input. I've been experimenting with mics but haven't found any thing that I like as much as the current magnetic / piezo combination. All the best, Larry DiMarzio

[@jayulreich1462]

I absolutely love what youve done here... but it is just lacking in what I am looking for. It has that sort of "twang" and "manufactured" sound I would really actually want on a regular electric guitar.(Could that be Antoine's preamp or effects doing that? I just do not ever hear that twang on any of his other recordings...) I recently bought an Agile 8x Renaissance 8 string acoustic. I knew right off the bat the pickups in it wouldnt get the snare sound I so desire, but if I mess with the eq and presence enough it works... I am unaware of ANY pickup for acoustic 8 string guitar, whether it be piezo, magnetic or mic. Closest thing I can find is the K&K with the mic and preamp. The sound I get out of a Fishman Rare Earth Blends microphone is just amazing, but with just a bit too much on the high end. Plus. the humbucker isnt long enough for all 8 strings, so I am currently stuck with what came pre-installed on the guitar. If there were some way to get rid of that twang on these Black Angels and add a mic to it, I truly believe you would have the perfect sound. You should totally make me one haha

[@jch5150]

Just wow!

[@shlomilasri7381]

wow sounds fantastic! i will buy both of them for my acoustic and bring the guitar and pickups to a guitar technician for installation

[@GuillermoSmyser]

So the piezo is glued(?) inside the body under the bridge? And no preamp on the guitar? Sounds great and has some great players endorsing it!

[@LarryDiMarzio]

+Will Smyser Yes, The Black Angel™ Piezo (DP235) is a stand-alone pickup that delivers a beautiful, natural acoustic guitar sound. It retains all the percussive resonance of the body, plus the transparent clarity of the strings. The Black Angel™ Piezo uses our new stratifying technology that stacks our piezo elements between layers of maple, spreading the energy across the entire sensor array. DiMarzio's approach is organic capture - eliminating the need for a built-in battery, preamp, EQ, or digital modeling. The Black Angel™ Piezo attaches easily to the guitar’s internal bridge plate (inside your guitar) with our quick alignment bracket, and can be mounted with hide glue, super glue or any woodworking adhesive.Hope that helps,'Larry DiMarzio

[@MatthewTrujillo]

Hmm...How soon are these available? I'm having a stonebridge built for me and I can have them install one of these bad boys.

[@LarryDiMarzio]

+Matthew Trujillo Thanks for your interest in The Black Angel. The magnetic is available now and the new piezi will be out by the end of Feb. All the best, Larry DiMarzio

[@RamelBautistaMusic]

Absolutely IN LOVE with this sound! Just wondering if it's up for grabs as a combo purchase? Or would I have to buy them seperately?

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Hi, Thanks for the kind words and interest in DiMarzio. Please give Eric a call at DiMarzio's NYC office (718 981 9216) and he'll can arrange for you to purchase the combo set (the output jack will come pre-wired for the magnetic) . Or the Black Angel Piezo and Magnetic are available separately from Musician's Friend. You'll have to do a little rewire. All the best, Larry DiMarzio

[@jonafladerer3074]

is there somewhere some kind of instruction ho to rewire the seperate party , because i'm afraid of buying the system and not getting it done to connect the piezo with the magnetic pick-up

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Hi, Currently they are only available individually. However, I did a redesign on the Piezo output jack and comes stereo pre-wired with an 1/8th inch connector for the magnetic. Once the piezo is installed the magnetic just plugs into the mini and it's up and running. Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio

[@MrUltraworld]

An Amazing musician. I have a customer in mind for this system.

[@ahfint]

can this piezo be commbined with other mag pickup other than the black angel?

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Yes, but you'll need to check the phase. Hope that helps, Larry

[@jaymingoodson9338]

He's using both pickups but only has one jack out of the bottom of the guitar. Wouldn't he need two different jacks and chords for both systems?

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Hi Jaymin, Yes, the output Jack is stereo. One channel is the magnetic and the channel is the piezo. Hope that helps, Larry

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Hi Jaymin, It's a stereo output jack and a stereo cable, so he has both pickups available all the time and can blend them. Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio

[@sergoOist]

Hi Larry, can you tell me how to connect the black angel and the black angel piezo in one system like in this video? Antonie has only one cable, but two pickups.

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Hi, The single cable is stereo ... one channel carries the magnetic on one carries the piezo. The new Black Angel Piezo pickups includes the a stereo output jack with an1/8" cable (for the magnetic) pre-wired. Hope that helps, Larry

[@rey89874]

LarryDiMarzio hey greetings from India .pls do a.tutorial n how to install these pickups

[@GuillermoSmyser]

One pickup is different from another based up what magnet it uses, number of winding turns of the wire, tension of the wire while it's being wound....what else? And how can you keep those things consistent?

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Hi, Easy, I've been doing it for 40 years. Larry DiMarzio

[@Chaos30150]

Hi Larry! I've just purchased my first set of dimarzio pick ups and want to know if I picked right. I bought a tone zone and a air Norton to put in a PRS se tremonti, do you think this will work well to get a good fat sound like guns n roses?

[@Robanbhaila]

Hi Larry No complaints about the Black angel Magnetic but when i install the piezo dp 235 it gives me ground hum and the output is also weak is there anything goin wrong with my pickup or it needs pre amp as well

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Hi Rob, Sorry to hear that your having a problem. Please contact DiMarzio at 800 221 6468 and ask for Eric. The piezo is very quiet and actually louder than the magnetic so something is wrong. All the best, Larry DiMarzio

[@Robanbhaila]

LarryDiMarzio Thaks 4 the quick response seems like the electrical outlets in my room r the culprit. thanks again for the response n one more thing Could you pls tell me the suitable input impedance for the black angel piezo coz i m not able to find it anywhere.

[@LarryDiMarzio]

Please call 718 981 9286 and ask for Tech. They should have a solution. Antoine's guitar is recorded using the Black Angel piezo and magnetic. Hope that helps, Larry DiMarzio
