Classic beefy low- and mid-tones!

The Breed bridge pickup is not as hot as the Evolution©, but it's got a warm and punchy mid-range coupled with a fat low end that rolls off before it can get muddy.

If you've seen Steve Vai play in the last few years, you may have seen him playing an Ibanez© Jem guitar with the word "Pogo" taped on the face. The Pogo is fitted with DiMarzio Breed pickups and is the result of Steve's desire to have a fat, classic humbucker sound to contrast with the hotter, screaming Evolution©-equipped guitars.

Harmonics come easily and the 4-conductor wiring coil enables cool "notch tone" coil-splitting. Recommended for the bridge position on solid body guitars.

The Breed was designed to warm up and smooth out the sound of 25-1/2 scale trem guitars. It's got a lot more power than a PAF©, but it also has a finer touch than high-output models. Picking hard will generate a lot of voltage, but a softer attack will clean up the sound of an overdriven amp.
