A modern classic from the DiMarzio range, introduced in 2007
Introduced in 2007, the DP219 D Activator Neck was designed to address a common issue with "high output" humbuckers: sometimes a cold, less dynamic sound lacking depth. DiMarzio therefore developed a dedicated magnet configuration to better capture certain frequencies while maintaining a modern, powerful tone that is usable in real playing situations.
For which guitarists and styles?
Designed as a neck pickup, the D Activator Neck suits guitarists who want a powerful yet clear sound for leads, fast passages, rich chords, and saturated tones that remain articulate. It is particularly aimed at rock, hard rock, and metal genres, as well as any setup where a neck pickup that "cuts through" without becoming muddy is desired.
Clarity, harmonics, and tight bass: the D Activator in action
The goal of this electric guitar humbucker is to emphasize the fundamentals and harmonics, with an instant response to pick attack. The result: a powerful, clear, and open sound, with excellent harmonics and compact bass. Its tonal profile features very present treble for definition (8), balanced midrange (5), and controlled bass (4), ideal for maintaining precision even with high gain.
