Experience the rich, expressive tone of a professional signature guitar pickup with the DiMarzio DP224BK AT-1 Andy Timmons Signature Humbucker. Designed to capture the warmth, clarity, and dynamic response associated with Andy Timmons’ distinctive guitar sound, the AT-1 combines vintage-inspired character with the power and articulation required for modern rock performances.
Developed from a custom bridge humbucker that Andy Timmons began using in 2001, the AT-1 brings his signature tonal characteristics to a wider range of electric guitars. Originally featured in his signature Ibanez instruments, the pickup has become a popular choice among guitarists seeking an expressive bridge humbucker with exceptional balance.
The AT-1 incorporates DiMarzio’s patented pickup technology, also used in the PAF 36th Anniversary series, to achieve a warm, clear, and harmonically rich sound. However, its higher output and stronger low-frequency response give it a more powerful character suited to rock-oriented playing.
Equipped with an Alnico 5 magnet, the pickup delivers a full-bodied sound with substantial bass, pronounced midrange, and smooth treble. Its manufacturer-rated 320mV output provides enough power for expressive lead guitar playing, articulate rhythm passages, and overdriven amplifier tones while maintaining sensitivity to picking dynamics.
Originally designed for a 25.5-inch-scale mahogany-body electric guitar, the AT-1 is versatile enough to complement different instrument constructions. Its rich bass and midrange can add warmth to naturally bright guitars, while its clarity and articulation help maintain note definition in shorter-scale, set-neck instruments.
The DP224BK is optimised for the bridge position, where it delivers smooth sustain, controlled highs, and a powerful yet musical response. These characteristics make it suitable for melodic rock, blues-rock, fusion, and expressive solo guitar performances.
Featuring four-conductor wiring, the AT-1 supports additional tonal configurations, including coil splitting and series/parallel humbucking, when installed with compatible switching electronics. Its passive design requires no battery.
Finished in classic black, the DiMarzio DP224BK AT-1 is an excellent upgrade for guitarists seeking Andy Timmons’ signature combination of warmth, balance, clarity, and expressive high-output rock tone.
