When You Want It Huge, Pick the 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 this classic 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.

Legendary tone

This pickup never disappoints . Sweet sustain & tone.

Awesome pickup!

The install had me a little concerned, because my original (1985) Hamer pickup had only 2 wires and this pickup has 5. However, after closely reading the installation instructions, I was able to figure it out. This pickup looks and sounds amazing!

I'm very happy with my purchase, and as always, Sweetwater rocks.

Dimarzio is The sound of Rock and Heavy Metal!!

There not much else to say but, To me these pickups in a Gibson Les Paul is Rock and early Heavy Metal, they have been used by some many players and you have heard them on so many albums.I would recommend them to anyone chasing that tone, There's so many people out there who say pickups don't make a difference well , I think they do give them a try you won't be disappointed!

Great tone

Just had these installed in a Ec256 dark brown sunburst I recently purchased from Sweetwater,the stock pickups were nice, but they weren't Dimarzios. They make such a tremendous difference in tone, really gives that warm classic rock tone from the 70s and early 80s. Cannot recommend enough! Also have to give a shout out to Tiberius Huiu,an awesome sales engineer who has the answers you're looking for and will help you find the gear you need and want. Thanks Tiberius!!! Sweetwater is the greatest!!!
