Very pleased
gwEm 27.12.2014
I just soldered in the Virtual Solo into the bridge position of an alder/rosewood strat. I am going direct into the front of a Marshall JCM800.

I am very happy with the sound. I would say that the tone is half way between a P90 and a strat pickup. Further more there is no hum! I prefer it to the Paul Gilbert Injector bridge. The Virtual Solo has a fuller sound to it. The clean tone is also very good, and the pickup keeps its dynamics with soft and harder picking.

If you want a noiseless strat pickup with guts to it, this is the one, and your guitar will still look and sound like a strat :)

Great pickup
boksajak 08.11.2017
Installed this in bridge position of my strat and I am very pleased with it. I'd say it is between "vintage" and "overwound" sounding - which is great for my needs and very versatile.

Area 61 I had previously in bridge position was great for blues and low gain, but was not powerful enough for heavier stuff. I moved Area 61 to middle position and got this one for bridge. Virtual Solo can do both low gain bluesy and heavy rock sounds + there is zero hum.

Ideal für die Stegposition
BStephan 08.09.2020
Der Virtual Solo ist der heißeste Pickup aus der "Area-Serie" von DiMarzio. Ich habe ihn jetzt schon einige Jahre in meiner Strat (Erlekorpus/Ahorn/Palisandergriffbrett) am Steg, zusammen mit dem Area 58 in der Mitte und dem Area 67 am Hals. Sinn war, die normalerweise dünn klingende Stegposition an die anderen anzupassen. Das macht der Virtual Solo. Dabei klingt er wie ein Strat-Stegpickup, allerdings ohne die überbissigen Höhen, die Vintage-Typen schon mal haben. Er klingt aber nicht wie ein P90 (wer das haben will, findet das eher beim Kinman Big Nine-0) und auch nicht wie ein Humbucker (wer das haben will, nimmt besser den DiMarzio Chopper). Für mich eine prima Lösung.

Super Micro de type SC mais Stacked donc Humbucker !!! Gros Son!
Daniel329 15.12.2017
D'habitude, je ne kiffe pas trop les Di Marzio; je suis plus Micros Handwound Boutique, mais là, lisant de nombreux avis positifs sur ce modèle au look Stratocaster classique ,à plots étagés et capot type Strat amovible, je l'ai commandé et monté sur ma Strat Jimi Hendrix en position chevalet (bridge) pour lui donner plus de polyvalence: et bien je suis ravi du résultat! le Virtual Solo est chaud et musical et dès qu'on envoie, il répond au doigt et à l'½il!!!
taux de sortie élevé mais il se marie parfaitement au set Fender Pure Vintage 65 que j'ai sur ma strato ! Bref, je vous le recommande car il est à la fois bon en son single coil , arpèges ,rythmiques funky...etc. et en Crunch et saturé, là, c'est une tuerie absolue! foncez!!! vous ne serez pas déçu !!!
UN MICRO PARFAIT!!!
PS: de plus,j'ai pu récupérer le capot de mon micro pure vintage 65
et à l'installer sur le Virtual Solo sans soucis: il est un poil moins haut mais cela ne se voit pas car c'est sous le PG...donc là, j'ai le look du set stock Fender Pure Vintage 65 finition blanc vieilli ; on ne se doute pas du tout que c'est un micro de type humbucker Stacked - sans ronflement,qui envoie le Feu de Dieu !!! ;-))) TOP !
