In 2005, Joe asked DiMarzio for a hotter and bigger version to replace the FRED in his new Ibanez guitars of the time. The resultant model called the Mo Joe is all about tone and definition. Its name says it all.

It has more power than FRED but it doesnt sacrifice clarity or dynamics. Additionally, all the harmonics that made FRED so good are all there ready to jump out at the touch of a guitar pick. Having more output makes the Mo Joe a perfect match for the PAF Joe in the neck position.

The combination delivers great versatility and control from rhythms to solos.

Both developments emphasized the importance of the Mo Joe having a high degree of string separation without sounding sterile or processed.

DiMarzio got this by slightly increasing the distance between the center frequencies that the coils are tuned to, without increasing DC resistance. The result is a pickup thats both hotter and more articulate. Mo Joe is used by permission of Mojo Musical Supply, with whom DiMarzio, Inc.
