DiMarzio - Joe Duplantier Signature Model Fortitudeā¢ - Bridge - DP290BC
Gojira guitarist and lead vocalist Joe Duplantier favors the tonality and nuances of a vintage PAFĀ®. Joe had specific requirements based on adjustments made in his Silver Cord Recording Studio.
First and foremost, he wanted a passive pickup that was vintage-sounding. For Joe, itās all about the dynamic; he wants people to hear what heās doing on the strings with his hands and the pick. He feels thatās the part of the chain that adds the spirit, soul, and life to the sound and prevents it from being flat.
Most of Joeās riffs are on the bridge pickup, and he says it needs to sound ākiller.ā The Fortitudeā¢ Bridge is very precise, very sharp, and Joe can get all sorts of percussive sounds with it.
The Fortitudeā¢ Bridge is based on the PAFĀ® 36th Anniversary Bridge with a few modifications. The clarity of a low output humbucker allows it to cut through with different tunings and high gain. Joe wanted the pickup to have a boost at 160Hz of about 1.5db, a touch more low-end, and a notch down around 500/600Hz. The Fortitudeā¢ Bridge features vintage tone with a twist.
Joe suggested calling the pickup Fortitude because āitās simple, itās honest, itās straight to the point, and itās strong.ā
The Fortitudeā¢ Bridge maintains the vintage PAFĀ® quality, yet produces some low-end muscle as you hit the strings harder. Basically, itās a vintage-style humbucker that can step out of the box.
Recommended For: Bridge position for all solid body, hollow, and semi-hollow body guitars.
Quick Connect: No
