Guitar World Reviews DiMarzio’s new True Velvet Pickups

Stratocaster single coils have a tone of their own. They are bright and clear. However, the clarity and volume are not even along the fretboard. The DiMarzio True Velvet pickups solve that to make your single coil sound sweet and clear. Guitarworld’s Paul Riario visited Dimarzio to check these pickups up.

Fender VG Stratocaster vs Gibson Les Paul Robot (the Dark Fire) vs Line 6 Variax

Hey Dude and dudettes,

In the battle for the virtual guitar, you have the three big names duking it out.
1) The Fender VG Stratocaster is a regular Stratocaster but with an extra Roland pickup. It has 37 modes where you can choose what type of sound you want (single coil, humbucker, acoustic,….) and 6 tunings. If your battery runs out, there are always the three single coil pickups for those classic strat tone.

2) The Gibson Dark Fire is a continuation of the Gibson Robot guitar where you get the classic Burstbucker 3 humbucker for those classic humbucker tone, a P-90 pickup for those classic single coil tones and a Piezo pickup for more acoustic tones. With the Chameleon technology, you get more tones by mixing these pickups. It also comes with the auto tune and intonation technology so you don’t need to fiddle with your tuners in the middle of the show. This ensures true organic tones.

It is due to be released 11th of December so book early.

3) Then comes the grand daddy of the virtual guitar. The Variax comes with a plethora of classic guitar tones and some other tones which are not to common, like the sitar. It can be switched with the foot controller and if you need to, can be transplanted to another body style supplied by Warmoth guitars. Check it out.
