John has been pushing the envelope of progressive metal since the late eighties, and the new DiMarzio® Crunch Lab™ Bridge Model ensued from their most recent collaboration with John. He used it throughout Dream Theater’s tenth studio album, “Black Clouds \u0026amp; Silver Linings”. John swears this is the best live and studio sound he has ever had, and the name says it all — “crunch” is what it’s all about with a big, tight sound that’s neither muddy nor thin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBridge position.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Crunch Lab™ is noteworthy (bad pun alert) for what it doesn’t do: it’s not a screamer, and it’s not about thundering lows. Its physical appearance is identical to the D Sonic™, but the internal design is a lot different. It’s louder, and the highs have more depth. The lows and mids are more open, and this is crucial for playing chords with body and presence through a gained-out amp. The voicing of the pickup is also different enough to the point that John prefers the Crunch Lab™ to be installed in almost all of his guitars (including the JP Bari) with the solid bar toward the neck, regardless of the guitar’s tuning.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Wiring: 4 Conductor\u003cbr\u003e• Magnet: Ceramic\u003cbr\u003e• Output mV: 410\u003cbr\u003e• DC Resistance: 11.03 Kohm\u003cbr\u003e• Year of Introduction: 2009","brand":"DiMarzio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45056456078,"sku":"663334034099","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2015\/7205\/products\/dimarzioCrunchLabF_Black.jpg?v=1504710858","url":"https:\/\/motorcityguitar.com\/products\/dimarzio-dp228fbk-crunch-lab-john-petrucci-f-spaced-bridge-pickup-black","provider":"Motor City Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
