Description:
Designed for John Petrucciâs Music Man JP13? guitar, the new Illuminator? Neck and Bridge Models are the next generation in Johnâs signature pickups with DiMarzio. John says he looks for versatility in his pickups so that heâs able to span a multitude of different sounds within one guitar, going from massive overdrive, very tight, rhythmical and aggressive to âœmore expressive, dynamic and very liquidâ when he plays solos. Theyâre a bit bold â” with more of the clarity and presence that John demands.
John used the new Illuminator? and Illuminator 7? pickups during the recording of Dream Theaterâs upcoming self-titled album. The album will be available September 24, 2013 on Roadrunner Records.
Recommended For: Bridge position.
Tech Talk: John wants his neck and bridge pickups to occupy separate musical spaces that âœspeakâ to each other, with individual voices that both blend and stand on their own. The Illuminator? Neck Model is louder than a typical vintage humbucker, and it has more headroom and a wide-frequency bandwidth. It has a lot of clarity with a clean amp, and warmth without muddiness with heavy overdrive.
