These 2 versions of "Texas Flood" demonstrate these very cool new pickups
Version1
Dimarzio Area '58 neck and mid, '61 bridge pickups into a cranked old Fender Princeton
Version2
Same Area's into Marshall with Sans Amp
Mary
Version of "Wind Cries Mary" Same pickups into clean Marshall
Neck pickup is DP 410
Middle is DP407 (reverse wound)
Bridge is DP404 (with alnico 2 magnet, eventually became the DP414)
Virtual Vintage pickups are noise canceling, yet retain the
single coil tone
Here is the bridge pickup comparing the hum canceled tone to the true single
tone.
Can you hear much if any difference?
Recorded straight into cranked SonicCord Toad tube amp in 35 watt mode

This is by far the coolest out of phase tone I have ever heard.
I normally find the tone to be thin, harsh, and useless.
Since this is the upper coil bridge out of phase with the lower coil neck, it
has affected the tone in a very musical way... to my ear anyway.
Overdriven tones were recorded: Guitar--->Compressor (Barber Tone Press), Tech 21 Sans Amp---->70's Marshall (set clean) with reverb and delay (Boss SE-70)
