DiMarzio D Activator-X Humbucker Guitar Pickup

The DiMarzio X2N has been the top choice for all-out power for nearly 30 years. In the last two years, DiMarzio has developed totally new ways to combine power with clarity, which first resulted in the D Activator. Now they bring you the D Activator-X Model. It features the same striking look and high output as the X2N, but they tuned the coils to different frequencies to allow maximum power wide open with a surprisingly clean sound when the volume control is rolled down, even with extreme metal and high-gain amps. The D Activator-X model features a universal spacing for both standard and F-spaced applications.

Tech Talk: The D Activator-X humbucker uses the same bar polepieces and magnet structure as the X2N, but it's a very different pickup in other ways. Output voltage is slightly lower than the X2N, and the tuning of the two coils allows the high frequencies to "open up" while still maintaining very strong lows and mids. The D Activator-X is also very good for clean, bright sounds in split and parallel modes.
