This pickup started a sound revolution. Replacement pickups simply didn’t exist before the invention of the Super Distortion in the early Seventies. The Super Distortion (and its original 3-conductor version, the Dual Sound) was the first pickup specifically designed to kick a tube amp into total overdrive, and is still the standard by which all other high-output pickups are measured. The Super Distortion has a perfect blend of power and tone: both single-notes and chords jump out of the amp and fill the room (or the track) with a wall of sound. The balance of tones is classic – thick, boosted mids, big lows and fat highs. This is the sound you’ve heard for over three decades on platinum records, from players as varied as Ace Frehley, Al Di Meola and Paul Gilbert. It’s also versatile: 4-conductor wiring allows instant access to Strat-like split and series-parallel modes. Discover what thousands of great players know: the Super Distortion is the best all-round high-power pickup ever made.

Recommended For

The Super Distortion is primarily a bridge position pickup, although it can be used in the neck position with a relatively low-gain amp. Specifically designed for solid-bodies: hollow and semi-hollow guitars can be hard to control with warm, high output pickups.

Tech Talk

When we first built the Super Distortion, it was a one-conductor pickup. As a 4-conductor pickup, it’s extremely versatile. Coil-splitting produces a very Strat-like option, both in tone and power. Parallel wiring is similar to splitting, but it’s still humbucking and a little more hollow-sounding; Paul Gilbert used to use two Super Distortions wired in parallel when he was in Racer X.

Stuff About DiMarzio

The Important stuff

Distortion — Distortion pedals deliver the raw, aggressive edge that defines rock and metal, transforming your clean tone into something powerful and full of attitude. By pushing your signal into rich harmonic saturation, they create thick, sustaining sounds that cut through any mix. From classic crunchy riffs to high-gain modern mayhem, distortion pedals give you total control over how wild or tight your tone gets. Whether you’re crafting searing leads or heavy rhythm walls, they’re an essential tool for adding energy, bite, and character to your playing.. Guitar Accessories — Guitar accessories make all the difference when it comes to tone, comfort and performance. From essential items like guitar strings, tuners, straps and picks to practical tools such as capos, string winders and patch cables, having the right gear keeps your setup reliable and ready to play. Pedalboard accessories and power supplies help keep your effects organised, while guitar stands, wall hangers and cases protect your instruments when not in use. Whether you’re an acoustic player, electric guitarist or bassist, quality guitar accessories enhance your sound, simplify your setup and make every session smoother.. Guitar Pickups — Guitar pickups are what bring your instrument to life, capturing the vibration of the strings and shaping your tone before it even reaches the amp. Single coils offer bright, clear sounds perfect for crisp rhythm work, while humbuckers deliver a fuller, warmer tone with plenty of punch and sustain. Active pickups provide extra output and clarity for modern high-gain styles, while vintage-style designs keep things smooth and dynamic. Whether you’re chasing clean sparkle, gritty blues, or heavy distortion, the right pickups make all the difference to your sound.. Pickup — A pickup is the heart of an electric or electro-acoustic guitar, converting the vibration of the strings into an electrical signal that can be amplified. Most electric guitars use magnetic pickups, which come in two main types: single-coil and humbucker. Single-coils offer bright, clear tones with sharp attack, while humbuckers use two coils to cancel noise and deliver a thicker, warmer sound. Acoustic guitars often use piezo or microphone-based pickups to capture their natural resonance. The choice of pickup has a huge impact on tone, making it one of the most important parts of a guitar’s personality.. Super.
