Crunch Lab 7™ DP708BK.

One thing has stayed consistent throughout John Petrucci’s long and successful career: the DiMarzioxAE pickups in his guitars. John has been pushing the envelope of progressive metal since the late eighties, and the new DiMarzioxAE Crunch Lab 7™ Bridge Model ensued from our most recent collaboration with John. He used it throughout Dream Theater’s tenth studio album, x93Black Clouds & Silver Liningsx94. John swears this is the best live and studio sound he has ever had, and the name says it all x93crunchx94 is what it’s all about with a big, tight sound that’s neither muddy nor thin.

Recommended For Bridge position.

Tech Talk
The Crunch Lab 7™ is noteworthy (bad pun alert) for what it doesn’t do it’s not a screamer, and it’s not about thundering lows. Its physical appearance is identical to the D Sonic 7™, but the internal design is a lot different. It’s louder, and the highs have more depth. The lows and mids are more open, and this is crucial for playing chords with body and presence through a gained-out amp. The way the pickup attacks a note is both sharper and stronger, and this allows the Crunch Lab 7™ to be installed with the solid bar towards the neck.
