I know it's designed for the neck position, but it might be an interesting bridge pickup if you want a bit more power than the 36th bridge without the typically more congested lower mids of many higher output pickups, and you find the PAF Pro too bright in the bridge position. Maybe the regular Norton fills that niche, though?
Love the FRED in the bridge with a 250k volume pot - clear but not sharp highs, full mids, nice harmonics, a lot of fun to play.
Nice review. Always wanted to try a Super Distortion and wondering what to put in the neck of my HH Ibanez, found the answer.
I could be wrong, but seem to recall that originally the PP was developed for Jazz/Rock guitarist Bill Connors.
That is correct - that was mentioned in one of the 80s catalogues.

I could be wrong, but seem to recall that originally the PP was developed for Jazz/Rock guitarist Bill Connors. Connors played with all the fusion heavy weights, such as Return to Forever, during the 70's usually using a Les Paul Custom. But during the 80's he started using Charvels. He had a brown sunburst single Hum Charvel strat, with a vintage style trem, and ebony finger board. He needed a pickup which could drive through a lot of processing, but still retain clarity and pure harmonics.Buddy, seriouesly what he had done in the 1984 was awesome. I need to listen the whole album. Very impressive.

I did a couple of down and dirty demos of the new DiMarzio PAF 57 set. All guitar sounds courtesy of a Fractal FM3 Plexi 50 6CA7 patch with Ownhammer OH MRBW+MRCB BR IR.

Thanks for your review!
For me it's interesting, because I bought a Dimarzio Satchur8 that (maybe) is almost the same pickup

(all the technical data are very very similar). I'm still building the guitar I will put it in, so it will take some time before I really test it. And I hope it has nice clarity and a good dynamic response.
The interesting fact is about this "compression" effect, that - as far as I know - does not happen in a passive pickup, but anyway it's often perceived in the sound.
There is this excellent post here:

with thought-provoking information from a member who always gives very useful and good technical details.
