John Petrucci isn’t just an incredibly talented player, composer, and producer; he’s a relentless tone chaser. For years, he’s swapped pickups in his signature axes and developed signature pickup sets with DiMarzio. But now, John Petrucci believes he has found the bridge sound he’s been after for years. The name tells you everything you need to know about how it sounds — hot, crunchy, and punchy. You can hear the DiMarzio DP228BK in action on Dream Theater’s “Black Clouds & Silver Linings.” And when you’ve finished drinking in John’s high-gain heroics, pick up a DiMarzio DP228BK and load it into your axe.
