Smooth but with plenty of grunt
Eoin G. 14.04.2015
I bought the chopper along with the super DP100 for my Floyd rose Mex strat.
The chopper was designed as a bridge pickup but works well in the neck position with a hot pickup in the bridge.My first impressions are good,l ran my guitar through my mixing desk so l could really hear the tone of only the chopper without any effect from an external amp or pedals.The low end is big and tight with just the right mix of mid and yet still retained good treble balance despite being in the neck position.Really nice for jazzy chords and scale runs the sound is silky smooth and the individual notes don,t get loss. The pickup still has some nice strat single coil characteristics yet with a much fatter tone and of course no hum. l would say it works well for lets say blues,jazz and classic rock tones.
All in all a great little pickup for what I wanted,hope my review has helped in your quest

I am biased, I love Dimarzios

OK, I am playing DiMarzio's pickups since 1986. Have two guitars with other brands pickups, one with Duncans, one with Kinmans. But I love Dimarzios for they natural, bit woody sound.

Chopper is no exception. Great sounding, well balanced pickup. Used by most people in bridge position. Kotzen is using it like that on his Tele.
I cannot play like him, and I am using Choppers on two of my HSS equipped guitars in the neck position.
They are really great, paired with PAF 36th Anniversary (bridge) and Area 67 in the middle. (I came to that solution, as I was not willing to cut the wood, to be able to fit standard humbucker in the neck position).

To sum the Chopper up:
- balanced sound (not too bright and not too bassy)
- great sustain
- super dynamic
- lot of harmonics
- versatile (designed with bridge position in mind, but works perfectly in the neck position also)

A very high output pickup which have in the neck position.
Ideal for rock/metal playing.
Would be an excellent pickup for the bridge position.
It also sounds good which coil spilt option in it.

Le meilleur des deux mondes
jerome577 31.03.2012
Je cherchais un micro chevalet agressif et percutant me permettant de jouer en clean comme en crunch ou en distortion pour ma Duo Sonic. J'ai toujours aimer les guitares au son agressif et percutant tel que la télécaster ou la gibson SG. Ce type de micro sonne comme un simple fender en clean: agressif avec du twang. Cependant, il a plus de corp qu'un simple traditionnel. Pour être simple, disons qu'il a l'agressivité de la télé mais qu'il sonne plus mate avec des graves plus marqué et moins de twang. Dès que l'on monte le gain, le son s'épaissit dans les graves mais reste agressif. On quitte peu à peu l'univers Fender pour s'approcher du son des SG moderne très agressive. Même si on peut jouer en high gain, je ne trouve pas que ce soit là qu'il est le plus convaincant. Pour ce type d'utilisation d'autres dimarzio sont plus appropriés. Pour moi, c'est en gros crunch ou avec une fuzz factory qu'il a le meilleur rendement. Là où son agressivité est le plus mise en valeur. Je l'utilise avec un texas spécial en manche et le couple fonctionne bien même si le texas dispose de trop de grave à mon avis. Avec un dimarzio cruiser neck ou un area 58 je trouve ça meilleur mais c'est une question de goût. Je le conseille à tout ceux qui veulent donner un peu de corp à une guitare ayant un micro chevalet un peu anémique. Il est aussi le compagnon idéal en nech d'un humbucker puissant tel que le tone zonne. En plus, sur une strat ou une duo sonic l'esthétique est respectée. Attention cependant, ce micro a une grosse personnalité qui peut déplaire. Moi je suis fan !!!
