When You Want It Huge, Pick the DiMarzio Super Distortion!

The DiMarzio Super Distortion is one of DiMarzio's earliest pickups, and it's designed to send your tube amp straight into overdrive, courtesy of its ultra-high output! Guitarists at Sweetwater are impressed with the power and tone that the DiMarzio Super Distortion pickup delivers — both single notes and chords are huge, with humbucker-signature thick, boosted mids; fat highs; and killer lows. Generally a bridge-position pickup, but great in the neck with lower-gain guitar amplifiers, the DiMarzio Super Distortion was designed to make the most out of solidbody guitars. Need it fat? Pick up the DiMarzio Super Distortion.

The must have bridge pickup!

The Dimarzio super distortion is the best bridge pickup for any electric guitar. This pickup does everything right from blues, rock, hard rock, hair metal, heavy metal, thrash metal, to death metal. It cleans up very nicely when you need it. When distorted this pickup becomes the sound you grew up listening to for years from the great artists from back then to now. You can hear every note with great string separation. I can see why it's a classic and still the choice for most guitarist.

Beefy p/u

Good beefy pickup. I put this one in an older, low-end Fender Squire with a single humbucker, just messing around trying to modify, customize and create monster sounding guitars. This pickup really awakened this little low-end guitar and turned it into a respectable player with strong sound. Among other modifications made, this guitar is now really strong and fun to play. Great pickup, very versatile. Try it out.

Old School Sweetness

My favorite artists back in the 70s used these pickups and I found myself wanting to try them. Now decades later, I have. This pickup is just as great in the bridge position as I imagined it would. Swapping my stock pickup for this is a decision I definitely don't regret.

Great Pickup on my Les Paul

In 1980, while at a Concert, in Shreveport, Louisiana, I had the chance to talk to Ian Gillian's Guitar Player. I told him I had a Gibson LesPaul and asked for advice on Pickups. He suggested the DiMarzio Super Distortion. I put one on my Bridge and it was great. A great sound and boost.
