About This Product!
Description
News
The X2N is a take-no-prisoners, in-your-face humbucker. Twin, wide-bar pole pieces give the X2N a nasty, dangerous look - and rightly so. DiMarzio's highest gain pickup excels at thrashing your amplifier into screaming overdrive. Put one in the bridge position for a powerful boost in the voltage the amp sees from your guitar. The result is a hot sound with relentless drive. If your amp needs to see more gain in order to go over-the-top in the overdrive department, the X2N's output and EQ are focused to slam the signal through with authority. Not that the X2N is completely single-minded: 4-conductor wiring permits single-coil and parallel humbucking operation for a wide selection of hot, musical sounds.
Recommended for bridge position on solidbody guitars. Works for both standard and f-spaced bridges.
Tech Talk
The X2N works in any situation where maximum power and overdrive is required. The dual blade pole pieces create a very even, balanced sound. The X2N works best in combination with higher-output pickups. It can also combine well with the Fast Track 1, Chopper, and Pro Track. The split option is very effective, because a single X2N coil has similar performance parameters to many Strat-type pickups.
Magnet: Ceramic
Output: 510mV
DC Resistance: 13.68K

DiMarzio DP102 X2N Humbucker Pickup Reviews
10 out of 10
"One potent pick up"
I have this installed in the bridge position of my Jackson and it sounds awesome. I play everything from Dokken to Slayer with it and it always sounds great. The only other pick up I can compare it to is the DiMarzio MegaDrive (which I don't think is available anymore)
If you like alot of overdive, sustain and crunch, you should seriously consider this pick up.

DiMarzio DP102 X2N Pickup Customer Review
Feature:
The twin blades are nice for bending, there's no dropouts. 4 counductor wiring for coil taps or series/parallel.
Sound:
The sound is thick, like a super distortion with more mid-range bite and less bass. I needed a pickup without pole pieces before f-spaced pickups were around. I got mine in 1979, yea playin' rock for a long time. I'm still using this thing in a washburn explorer a5 and it's still screaming! I have a coil tap switch for coil 1/both coils/coil 2.
