DiMarzio DP-100 BK Super Distortion

DiMarzio DP-100 Super Distortion

This pickup started a revolution: Before the Super Distortion® was introduced in the early 1970s, there were simply no replacement pickups. The Super Distortion® (and its original three-wire version, the Dual Sound®) was the first pickup designed to drive a tube amp into maximum distortion. And it is still the standard by which all high-output pickups are measured. The Super Distortion® offers the perfect blend of power and tone: single notes and chords literally jump out of the amp and fill the room (or the recording track) with a real board. The sound balance is classically thick with boosted mids, powerful bass and fat highs. This is the sound you know from platinum records by guitarists as diverse as Ace Frehley, Al Di Meola or Paul Gilbert from three decades ago. The pickup is also versatile: thanks to the four-core wiring, Strat®-style splits and series-parallel modes can be easily realized. Discover what thousands and thousands of great guitarists already know: The Super Distortion® is the best all-round high-gain pickup ever. Recommended for: The Super Distortion® is primarily intended for the bridge position, although it is also suitable for the neck position on amps with relatively low gain. Specifically intended for solid bodies: Full and semi-resonant guitars are difficult to control with these warm-sounding, high-output pickups. Tech Talk: Originally, the first Super Distortions® only had one wire. The four-core version is extremely versatile. The coil splitting creates a very Strat-like sound in terms of tone and output power. The parallel wiring is similar to the splitting, but the pickup still works as a humbucker with a somewhat hollow sound: During his time with Racer X, Paul Gilbert used two Super Distortions® in parallel.
