Want It Huge? Pick the Super Distortion!

The Super Distortion is one of DiMarzio's original pickups that changed guitar playing for good. Sweetwater guitarists and platinum-hit players alike count on the Super Distortion’s classic power and tone. Its design will send your tube amp straight into overdrive, courtesy of its high-output ceramic magnets. Both single notes and chords are huge, with thick boosted mids, fat highs, and enhanced lows. The bridge position is a fan favorite, but a Super Distortion in the neck is a quick ticket to nailing beefier tone on lower-gain amplifiers. And these pickups are super versatile, too! With the Super Distortion’s 4-conductor wiring, you’ll have instant access to Strat-like split and series-parallel modes onboard.

Note: F-spaced pickups are intended for guitars with wider string spacing and/or tremolo systems including Floyd Rose. Read more about pickup spacing here or contact your Sweetwater Sales Engineer for expert assistance.

  • Neck and bridge humbucking pickups

Dimarzio SD100

Most diverse pickup I have ever used. Great for every type of music. Even sounds great in the spit coil configuration. Highly recommended
Music background: Metal
Rated 5/5

I like it loud!!!

This is an amazing pickup!! I love the richness of the sound and the forced overdrive. I would recommend this in the neck position if you like it loud. It sounds great!! I put this in the JIVA JR with a True Velvet Middle single coil and a D-Activator in the bridge. Great combination!!!
Music background: 37 years singing, 33 years playing guitar, 22 years playing bass, other stringed instruments, etc.

Very hot pickup

I bought a 2020 reissue of the Fender Strat HM, having played them in the late 80s and always wanted one. The original came with the DiMarzio Super Distortion and the reissue came with a Fender Double Tap, which has beautiful tone and is just a little weak for my taste. I have always been a Seymour Duncan guy and have SDs in all my other guitars except for my Legs Paul, so this was a tough decision for me to try a DiMarzio. I have to admit that I absolutely love this pickup. Pinch harmonics are super easy, the tone is tastefully chunky and juicy and it works well with the tap switch. I did have to look up the color codes for the wires, as there is no standard and all manufacturers are different, but it was a fairly straightforward install and I would definitely recommend it for metal players. I've used it in Marshall, Boogie and Blackstar tube amps and it works well with all of them.

Great Great pickup!

I put this in an rga mahogany neck thru. I was looking for a pickup that wasn't a one trick pony and this did it. Great balanced eq. Notes are nice and thick and it's got all the distortion you want when you want it. I play rock, blues and metal and this pickup delivers on all of it. It's really smooth especially the highs. The highs are there on command but not harsh at all. Really sits nicely amongst the mids and bass. For me this is a way better pick up than the tone zone wich is what came stock in my guitar. I will be pairing it with an evolution neck when Sweetwater gets it in stock. (Hint,hint,nudge,nudge Sweetwater). Lol! If your looking for an all around pickup with wonderful gain, try it out. Not only is it a great option but pairs well with alot of different neck pickups giving you plenty of ways to shape your guitars attitude. Thanks as always to Dave Brow and his team. Always great service and a great guy to talk to and do business with.
