DiMarzio Dominion
Dimarzio · other
The DiMarzio Dominion is Mark Morton's signature humbucker set, voiced for modern and groove metal with a balance of aggression and clarity. The set delivers a tight, punchy low end, a strong, cutting midrange and clear highs that keep heavily distorted, riff-driven playing articulate, while remaining dynamic and responsive to pick attack. Moderately high output, it drives high-gain amps hard for rhythm chug and sustaining leads, and in coil-split mode offers clearer, single-coil-like tones. Designed for Lamb of God's style, it suits players who want cutting metal tone with enough definition for complex riffing rather than a dark, scooped voice.
