John says he looks for versatility in his pickups so that he’s able to span a multitude of different sounds within one guitar, going from massive overdrive, very tight, rhythmical and aggressive to  “more expressive, dynamic and very liquid” when he plays solos. They’re a bit bold — with more of the clarity and presence that John demands.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn used the new Illuminator™ and Illuminator 7™ pickups during the recording of Dream Theater’s upcoming self-titled album. The album will be available September 24, 2013 on Roadrunner Records. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended For:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck position.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Talk:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJohn wants his neck and bridge pickups to occupy separate musical spaces that “speak” 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e• Wiring: 4 Conductor\u003cbr\u003e• Magnet: Ceramic\u003cbr\u003e• Output mV: 295\u003cbr\u003e• DC Resistance: 10.50 Kohm\u003cbr\u003e• Year of Introduction: 2013","brand":"DiMarzio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45056464270,"sku":"663334041868","price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2015\/7205\/products\/Dimarzio_IlluminatorNeck_Black.jpg?v=1504710954","url":"https:\/\/motorcityguitar.com\/products\/dimarzio-dp256bk-illuminator-john-petrucci-neck-pickup-black","provider":"Motor City Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
