One thing has stayed consistent throughout John Petruccis long and
successful career: the DiMarzio® pickups in his guitars. John has been
pushing the envelope of progressive metal since the late eighties, and
the DiMarzio® LiquiFire Neck Model resulted from our most recent
collaboration with John. He used it throughout Dream Theaters tenth
studio album, "Black Clouds & Silver Linings". John swears this is
the best live and studio sound he has ever had. He wanted a neck pickup
with a flowing, singing solo tone when used with a heavily overdriven
amp and a clear chord sound with a clean amp setting.
