The Super Distortion is an early classic from DiMarzio. With its ultra - high output, it quickly drives your tube amp into overdrive. Whether you're playing single notes or chords, the sound is massive. It features thick, boosted mids, fat highs, and chunky lows. Ideal for the bridge position, it also performs great in the neck when paired with lower - gain guitar amplifiers. This pickup was the source of many classic rock sounds in the '70s and '80s, used by legends like DiMeola, Gambale, Vinnie Moore, and Frehley. It offers 4 - conductor versatility and coil - splitting capability. You can choose between regular spacing, which suits most Gibson - style guitars, and F spacing for most Fender types.
Using the DiMarzio Super Distortion Pickup is easy. First, decide if you want to install it in the bridge or neck position of your guitar. For bridge use, it'll give you that powerful, overdriven sound right away. If you use a lower - gain amplifier, try it in the neck for a great tone. When installing, make sure to connect the 4 - conductor wires correctly according to your guitar's wiring diagram to use its coil - splitting feature. As for maintenance, keep your guitar clean, and avoid exposing the pickup to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're not using your guitar for a long time, store it in a proper case to protect the pickup. That way, your Super Distortion Pickup will keep delivering amazing sounds for years.
