DiMarzio DP216FBK Mo Joe F-Spaced, Black Overview
Joe Satriani has used FRED« as his main bridge pickup for years. In 2005, Joe asked us for a hotter and bigger version to replace the FRED« in his new Ibanez« guitars. The new model called the MoÆ JoeÖ is all about tone and definition. Its name says it all. It has more power than FRED« but it doesnÆt sacrifice clarity or dynamics. Additionally, all the harmonics that made FRED« so good are all there ready to jump out at the touch of a guitar pick. Having more output makes the MoÆ JoeÖ a perfect match for the PAF JoeÖ in the neck position. The combination delivers great versatility and control from rhythms to solos.\n\nThe last few years have seen Joe develop a new signature tube amp and start using heavier-gauge strings more often. Both developments emphasized the importance of the MoÆ JoeÖ having a high degree of string separation without sounding sterile or processed. We got this by slightly increasing the distance between the center frequencies that the coils are tuned to, without increasing DC resistance. The result is a pickup thatÆs both hotter and more articulate.
