Fast Track 1 Humbucker

The DiMarzio DP 181 Fast Track is a humbucker in single coil format that delivers a clear sound with increased bass without the side-effects of single coils. Therefore, it is especially recommended for the neck and middle positions of a strat. Due to its 4-wire connection cable, various additional circuits (single coil, parallel, out of phase are possible) are also possible.

DiMarzio "Rail/Blade" style pickup - well worth it!
Graham George 24.04.2015
I bought this pickup as part of a swap over set for Fender Strat pickups to DiMarzio's.

The result is not only are they MUCH better, more volume, depth and punch, but because of what DiMarzio call "universal" pickups, where they don't have to be aligned with the strings.

The simplest way to describe DiMarzio's rail/blade humbucking single-coil-size pickups is "transparent".

In the same way that some distortion pedals are called transparent, when they "add" to the original tone, but that original tone can still be heard through the distortion.

The end result is almost a "re-modeling" of the Fender sound. The pickups that I chose were Pro Track-neck, Fast Track 1-middle, and humbucker D Activator X Neck - for the bridge.

The Pro track adds a lot of punch and clarity to the neck sound and is slightly warmer. The Fast Track 1 gives a usable middle pickup sound a little clearer but with that Fender twang. The bridge, which is actually a neck pickup and less powerful, is a good match as it is not overbearing in tonality or volume. The 2 and 4 positions of the 5 way switch are neck and middle - slap-twangy, bridge and middle - nasal-honky. All of them with increased volume.

Overall the sound IS still obviously Fender, which is great but with the addition of strength an clarity that makes all of the 5 way switch usable. The pots are the original Fender with no additional 500K capacitor on the volume - personal choice.

Thomann service as usual - faultless, synchronized, and great prices.
Thanks once again to Thomann. As a professional musician I appreciate not having to wait for my order - Thank You Thomann Guitar Team!

Ersatz für Quarterpounds in Blackmore-Strat
Klaus379 20.11.2012
Da man Tonabnehmer nur bedingt testen kann, ist ein Resultat in der eigenen Gitarre nicht immer abzusehen. Die Aufgabe war, Tonabnehmer als Ersatz für die Quarterpounds in meiner Blackmore-Strat zu finden, weil mich der Brumm stört (...wie den Meister selbst auch). Also hab ich beide Pickups ersetzt. Das Resultat ist, dass die Gitarre jetzt etwas weniger untere Mitten und Bässe hat, die Höhen sind sehr schön, die Balance erscheint mir jetzt insgesamt ausgeglichener.

Fazit: heißer Tipp, um eine Blackmore-Strat zu entbrummen.

Son incroyable !
Yann823 25.12.2013
Je l'ai monté en neck avec un DP184 (Chopper) en chevalet sur une Fender Lead II. La combinaison est formidable. Le son est puissant, il a du punch mais ça reste plus proche dans l'esprit d'un simple que d'un humbucker. Le son est clair et subtil, très articulé et équilibré avec de beaux mediums. Inutile de préciser qu'il est 100% silencieux quand on ne joue pas.

piccolo pickup grande suono
Målima 09.01.2020
Ho acquistato il pickup per sostituire il pickup al manico di una telecaster.

Sound: Trattandosi din un pickup humbuker in formato single coil, naturalmente il suono è leggermente meno brillante. Non é propriamente un Humbuker, le bobine sono più piccole. E' in realtà una via di mezzo tra i due tipi di pickup che offre quindi una gamma di sonorità inedite e da esplorare. Suono potente ma molto ben definito, sia nei suoni clean che in distorsione, assenza di rumori di fondo, è davvero molto silenzioso. Bassi corposi ma non invasivi, medi perfetti per la posizione al manico, alti definiti e brillanti quanto basta. Ma se lo si desidera è splittabile, cioè si puo usare una sola bobina. Ma lo consiglio solo come optional, il volume ne risente.

Fabbricazione: Di Marzio è Di Marzio, e qui lo conferma ancora una volta. Avendo i magneti a 'pinna', non vi sono problemi di allineamento con le corde, annoso problema. Molto ben costruito e protetto, offre la possibilita di diversi collegamenti. Facilmente installabile.

Pro e contro: non ho riscontrato 'contro'.

Conclusione: ottimo pickup per tutti coloro che sono disposti a perdere un pò di 'Twang', tipico Telecaster, guadagnando però una gamma sonora molto piu ampia. Non so se ricordate un certo chitarrista che suonava nei Police. Non di meno, personalmente lo uso in situazioni jazz oriented, e ho trovato la cremosità e il sustain che cercavo. Consigliatissimo!
