Dimarzio Pandemonium??

Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??

They sound cool , she describes them as a cross between the deactivator and evolution , both of which are great pickups
 
Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??

They do look cool, but her tone is standard 80s shredder fare. I wonder if they are good at anything else.
 
Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??

Despite the $60 up-charge for a swirled metal fishnet cover to help hide those ugly sun-faded yel...I mean, highly sought-after and thoroughly patented "double cream" bobbins...I'm totally GAS'ing for these!

I just watched a couple clips of her demonstrating these pickups. When it comes to rock and metal, she and I are much alike. I like a lot of bite and edge to my sound and so does she. More scream than yell, as it were.

She wanted a less-hot Evolution with the tightness of the D-Activator. I'm picking up what this woman is laying down (having owned both Evo's and still having D-Activators in one guitar)!

She's been playing Gravity Storms nearly exclusively for the past few years, so this should be an interesting mix of qualities.

It's too early to know for sure, but I can see this being a dream pickup for the half of me that leans heavily toward metal, rock and even progressive...ha ha!

Now, does anyone have a 40% off code for any of the sites selling these? :)
 
Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??

I'd still like to try a sonic-X bridge model, but just like these they come standard with the pricey covers and they won't sell them without the covers.

in which interviews he talks about the new pickups ?
 
Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??

DiMarzio are really pushing that Virtual Vintage thing. It seems like they're putting it on everything they come up with lately!

I too have really liked what I’ve heard from these pickups. And I really dig Nita’s tone. I’m completely gassing for this pickup but I can’t do the pricing.
And I’d much rather get this pickup without that cover on it.

I wrote DiMarzio earlier to see if there was any way to get these in standard Black without the covers.

You should do the same! If they see a demand, maybe they'll create the opportunity for us :)

Done!!
I’ll update when I get a response. I asked about getting different options too (zebra etc). And I asked if the price comes down without the covers.
 
Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??

Well, it looks cool. Buying into the "Gold Foil" craze. You couldn't give them ****s away back in the day.

Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??

DiMarzio got back to me this morning and said cream with covers is the only way they're available :/

Contacted a few sellers, none were willing to budge on price.

What the heck, DiMarzio?

I can buy a set of the pickups these are based on, in colors that suit my guitar, for the price of just one Nita Strauss "Pandemonium"!

She's a cool chick and I'd love to support her, but charging more for her stuff than the Petrucci, Vai and Satriani models? Makes no sense...
 
Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??

Here’s the response I got.

HI,

The Pandemonium comes as is. There are not modifications at this time.
 
Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??

That's essentially what their response to me said, also. They did throw in an extra tidbit about how, if I were to remove the covers, I would void the warranty...ha ha! Perhaps I'm not the first to inquire.

On the plus side, if everyone who's interested in a more traditional aesthetic takes 2 minutes to write DiMarzio, there's a chance they might oblige sooner rather than later :)

They really should have brought the pickup out in standard colors to start and offered something like 1000 of the special "Black and Blonde" aesthetic as a numbered "limited edition" with Nita's signature on them.

As a last ditch effort, I contacted a couple major DiMarzio vendors and they all said there's currently no way to special order the pickup any other way. Shame.

What to do? What to do?

At that excessive price point, I could reach out to MJ and have her wind me something REALLY special! Ugh

That’s a really good idea you have about a limited edition Black and Blonde plus offering standard colors.
 
Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??

Last year I emailed them directly and checked with a top dealer about the Sonic-Xtacy (covered JP model) in standard black. I was shut down lol.

Since then I've purchased both Invaders and Warpigs,,,,,,,,,, but no Dimarzios.

unfortunately Larry dimarzio only thinks of money and profit
 
Re: Dimarzio Pandemonium??

So, who's going to be the first guinea pig? :laughing:

I guess when sales stall after the small batch of fanboys get their fill on the initial run, DiMarzio will get the point

That’s what I’m counting on.
