DiMarzio Evo2 (blue) Guitar Pickup
DiMarzio Evo2 (blue) Guitar Pickup
"The original Evolution® bridge model did exactly what Steve Vai wanted it to do: kick butt and produce serious scream. Now he wants something a little more complex-the same basic tone with increased headroom and dynamics, so that the sound kills on 10 and cleans up when the volume is rolled down. With a little less power than the original Evolution®, Evo 2™ balances perfectly with the Evolution® neck model and performs equally well with high gain and vintage amps."

DiMarzio Blue Velvet, Reverse Polarity (BLACK) Guitar Pickup
DiMarzio Blue Velvet, Reverse Polarity (BLACK) Guitar Pickup
"Most players use a plain 'G' string (regardless of gauge), so DiMarzio developed a magnet stagger balanced to match today's string sets. They also insulated the coil from the magnets so the pickup can't short out, and the Blue Velvet™ can be safely phase-reversed. Did they lose the original sound? There's no mystery about it: the Blue Velvet™ still sounds great. The Class of '55™ is DiMarzio’s pick for clean country sound, but the Blue Velvet™ is their first choice for blues."

Buying Guide for Tube Amplifiers
Buying Guide for Tube Amplifiers
Tube Amps (also known as Valve amps) In general, tube amps produce a fatter and richer tone than their Solid-State counterparts and also produce more volume. In other words, a 50-watt tube amp will sound louder than a 50-watt solid-state amp. If you are planning on using a tube amp in a small situation a 20 to 40-watt amplifier will probably work just fine, as these amps sound better the more you turn them up or “push” them. In a larger environment it is safe to go with anything between 50 and 100-watts. The speaker enclosures will also play a major role in the volume you’ll project. A 50-watt 1x12 combo will not sound as loud and full as a 50-watt head and a 4x12 cabinet. | |
 | |
Here are some pros and cons of Tube amps:
Pros:
- Smooth tone and warm distortion
- Over driven sound is more “musical”
- Better resale value
- Fuller “presence” and tone
- Natural Tube Compression enhances tone
Cons:
- Weight - Amps are heavier due to large power transformers
- Maintenance – Tubes need to be replaced approximately every year for optimum performance.
- Noisier
- Price - More expensive than solid-state amps.
Despite their cons, tube amps are still preferred by most guitarists (particularly Pro’s) for the warm, smooth tone they deliver. Bassists favor them for the punchy, warm sound and the natural compression, which works well for bass guitar.
