The DP102 X2N is DiMarzio's high - gain black humbucker. It's an aggressive passive pickup. Put it in your guitar's bridge position, and it'll drive tube amps into full overdrive. The twin wide - bar pole pieces give it a menacing look. It offers a balanced response with plenty of low mids, creating a rich, non - harsh sound. This pickup is surprisingly versatile. Its single - coil and series - parallel modes work great. Using the 4 - conductor wiring for coil splitting, it can produce an organic single - coil tone.

Using the DiMarzio DP102BK X2N humbucker is easy. Just install it in the bridge position of your guitar. When you turn on your tube amp, it'll quickly push the amp into overdrive for that great high - gain sound. For different tones, you can switch between single - coil and series - parallel modes. When using the 4 - conductor wiring for coil splitting, you'll get a single - coil tone. As for maintenance, keep it clean. Avoid getting it wet or exposing it to extreme temperatures. If you're not using it, store it in a dry place. Also, be careful when installing or removing it to prevent any damage to the pickup or your guitar.
