| description = The Virtual Vintage 2.2 is a great neck and middle pickup itself for a brighter-sounding guitar with a swamp ash body and maple neck. It was designed to work with 250K controls. At the same distance from the strings as you'd normally adjust a pickup with full-strength Alnico 5 magnets, the 2.2 has the same power as a pickup from the early 60s. However, because it uses Alnico 2 magnets with about 40% less pull, you can increase the power by adjusting the 2.2 closer to the strings without affecting string vibration or intonation.<ref name=VirtualVintage2-2>''[https://web.archive.org/web/20120328230639/http://www.guitar.com.au/pickups/dimarzio/strat/vir_vin_2_2.htm Virtual Vintage 2.2]'', Guitar World (retailer website), archived March 2012.</ref> |

DiMarzio Ionizer 8 pickups on the TAM100 |
- For DiMarzio/Ibanez pickups, see DiMarzio IBZ pickups.
DiMarzio is an American company that specializes in producing a wide range of guitar pickups. The models listed here are factory-installed on Ibanez guitars. This list does not represent the full range of DiMarzio pickups.
Air Classic
|
Description: | Vintage output. The Air Classic™ has the same sweet sound as a classic humbucker, but Airbucker™ technology permits us to use a more reliable full-strength Alnico 5 magnet and still reduce string-pull to increase sustain and sensitivity. The result is an almost vocal, three-dimensional sound that jumps off the string faster and stays true as it sustains. The sense of touch and control this provides will offer you an unequalled ability to create your own sound.[1] |

Air Norton

Air Norton 7

|
Air Zone
|
Description: | The Air Zone can be described as a vintage version of the Tone Zone. It offers an ultra-fat PAF tone with wide dynamic range and increased sustain.[5] |
Area 61
|
Description: | DiMarzio has been working on serious vintage single-coil design with no hum for twelve years. Their goal has always been to capture the best qualities of pickups from the 1950s and early 60s. They’ve played several pickups from the early 60s that had a unique tonality: they were steely, yet woody-sounding. They wanted to nail this sound, and to do it with no hum and less magnet-pull. The Area 61 does it. It’s good in all three positions. It’s the perfect bridge pickup with a pair of Area 58 pickups if you want to go all the way from Nashville to Texas in one guitar.
DiMarzio set out to mimic the Texas blues sound. This sound is centered on single-coils from the early 1960s, but it’s also based on heavy strings and strong hands. We can’t change your strings or your hands, but the Area 61 captures the tonal bedrock this sound is based on. Like the Area 58, the Area 61 really responds to different pick attacks: played hard, it sounds louder and tougher than you’d expect from a vintage pickup, but it cleans up immediately by picking softer or rolling down the volume control. And like the Area 58, its ability to cancel hum is superior to full-size humbuckers.[6] |

Red Velvet
|
Description: | The Red Velvet has a bottom-loaded Power Plate™, a custom coil winding and the magnet stagger of the True Velvet which combine to give it the sting of a Strat pickup and the punch of a Tele.[34] |
Satch Track
|
Description: | The Satch Track™ Neck bridges the gap between classic humbucker and single-coil performance. It tracks pick attack and string vibration quickly and accurately like a single-coil, but the voicing is wider and stronger, like a humbucker. The highs are very warm, and clarity is created by keeping the mids and lows tight and focused.[35] |
Steve's Special
|
Description: | The Steve's Special is a high-output pickup which spreads sound over a broad frequency range and scooped mids. It was developed by DiMarzio with Steve Blucher of Dimarzio.[36] The Steve's Special has also been referred to as Steve's Favorite Pickup or just SFP. |
Super 3
|
Description: | The Super 3 is basically a Super Distortion with chopped treble and enhanced midrange. It has a reputation as a heavy metal pickup.[37] |
Super Distortion
|
Description: | The Super Distortion was DiMarzio's original high-output humbucker. It offers a range of tones from thick, boosted mids to big lows to fat highs.[38] |

Description: | The Virtual PAF captures the finest qualities of '50s and early '60s humbuckers to create a great sound. Patented technology permits the use of an Alnico 5 magnet to generate the same low string-pull that an Alnico 2 or 3 produces, and combine two of the most sought-after tonal characteristics: low note clarity and high note warmth. The bridge model has a thicker, woody sound.[46]
This model has been discontinued. DiMarzio recommends the PAF 36th Anniversary as a replacement.[45] |
