DiMarzio DP100 Super Distortion High-Output Humbucker Pickup
The DiMarzio Super Distortion revolutionized guitar tone upon its introduction in the early 1970s, establishing the benchmark for high-output humbuckers engineered to push tube amplifiers into rich harmonic overdrive. Designed specifically for solid-body electric guitars, it delivers an authoritative sonic presence characterized by thick boosted midrange, substantial low-end response, and full highs.
Equipped with ceramic magnets and standard 4-conductor wiring, this versatile humbucker offers immediate access to series-parallel and coil-splitting configurations for strat-style tones alongside traditional humbucking performance. It provides exceptional definition and dynamic projection across single-note leads and heavy chord passages alike.
Primarily voiced for the bridge position, this historic pickup serves as an industry standard for rock, metal, and fusion players seeking reliable output and dense sonic saturation. Its time-tested design ensures maximum responsiveness across diverse high-gain and low-gain amplifier rigs.
