I decided to give DiMarzio a second chance after trying and returning noiseless single coils and I am glad I did! 
I bought this as an upgrade bridge pup for my old super strat. 
The pickup is probably the best humbucker I tried so far. 
It is relatively low output, clear and defined, yet it has a ballsy and punchy sound. 
What gets me the most is how balanced this pickup is - every frequency is there, even with the guitar volume rolled down, it stays ballanced and defined. 
If you are looking for a classic humbucker sound - clean, blues, classic rock, you can't go wrong with this one. I suppose it's not a metal pickup, but I am no metal player. 
Only one thing - read the whole manual before installing - I wired mine out of phase with DiMarzio true singles although I followed the main wiring diagram for the pup.
