DiMarzio Releases Mark Morton Signature Dominion Humbuckers

The pickups were developed over two years of testing and touring with Lamb of God.

New York, NY (January 15, 2012) -- DiMarzio has released the new Mark Morton signature Dominion Neck and Dominion Bridge humbuckers. The pickups were developed over two years of testing and touring with Lamb of God.

The Dominion Neck pickup was designed to produce a well-balanced, clean sound. DiMarzio says the Dominion Neck model is a little hotter than a typical vintage humbucker, and it has more edge and speed, to keep up with the Dominion Bridge model. Mark favors a thick amp sound, so the Dominion Neck model has a good amount of presence for definition and focus.

Specs

  • Wiring: 4 conductor
  • Magnet: Ceramic
  • Output mV: 290
  • DC Resistance: 8.39K ohms

The Dominion Bridge was designed to accommodate Morton's preference for a thick sound in the bridge position, but without muddy lows and with a fast response to pick attack. DiMarzio accomplished this with a combination of coils wound for a warm tone and a ceramic magnet for speed. Mark uses a good amount of amp gain, so the pickup output is medium to keep the sound big for both solos and chords. Also per Morton's specifications, DiMarzio designed the Dominion Bridge to have a good split-coil sound.
