VHPAF without "3D" sound?

[pedalinbob]

Is there such a thing?

Though I like the VHPAF, I would love to try something similar without the 3D thing...

Ideas?

What 3D thing?

I think he just means the Hifi trait of the pickup.

Wouldn't that be the regular Dimarzio PAF??

The Duncan 59' PAF and Seth Lover PAF are very different from the VPAF.

He said VHPAF (Virtual HOT PAF), not VPAF.

They don't make a non "virtual" version of the "Hot PAF".

Your closest bet from the DiMarzio lineup is probably the Air Classic, which would be a "non-3D" version of the Virtual PAF.

LOL...I was trying to figure out what was so "3D" about Eddie Van Halen's sound.:smack:

I think the 59 will give you what your looking for. Gibson 57 Classics have the 3D in full effect, But the 59 is solid sounding.

The 3D is something in only have heard with the virtual vintage pickups. Sounds like a slight flanging or chorusing sound built in.
I would put the Gibson Classic 57+ or the Duncan 78 model into the same league as the VHPAF but without the 3D thing.
BTW i made my own overwound PAF with buying a used double cream DiMarzio PAF and let the stud coil wound on the 5 to 5.5k by a winder. Zhang would surely do it for you!

OOps. Read your post wrong.

If its the virtual hot you're after, you might try a screamin' demon. It would be close. The 59 will not.

You've just gave me massive gas for a VHOTPAF... Isn't a slight chorusing a huge part of van halen's later tone?

That is exactly the sound I hear.

I may have to look at the 59, Duncan 78 or a Dimarzio PAF (though it won't be as "hot" sounding).
I didn't get along with the Demon.
