DiMarzio DP182 Fast Track 2™

All DiMarzio Hum-Cancelling rail pickups now use the Quick Connect smaller base plate as per the black variant pictured here. The traditional "triangle" baseplate is no longer available.

It’s not any bigger than a single-coil pickup, but the sound of the Fast Track 2™ puts it right in the wide open, “everything-on-11” school. It’s got three times the output of an average single-coil, with a huge mid-range and bass punch and a strong resemblance to the Super 3™. This is DiMarzio's hottest single-coil sized bridge pickup — particularly useful when you need a tightly focused jolt of power to crank your amplifier into rich overdrive. Combining it with a Pro Track™, Air Norton S™, BC-1™ or The Chopper™ in the neck position and The Cruiser® or Fast Track 1™ in the middle makes a guitar with an outstanding, heavy sound.

Tech Talk
To get some sense of the Fast Track 2™, it's best to think of it as a Strat®-sized version of the Super 3™, the pickup it most closely resembles. Using a 500K volume control will open up the top end, and DiMarzio recommend this value. The best neck pickup choices with the Fast Track 2™ would be relatively hot models like the The Chopper™, Pro Track™. Air Norton S™ and BC-1™. DiMarzio recommend brighter models like the Cruiser™ or Fast Track 1™ in the middle. You can also mix it with Stratier pickups like the Area and Virtual Vintage® lines, if you're prepared for the jump in power of the bridge position.
