DiMarzio Super Distortion 8 Pickup
The DiMarzio Super Distortion 8 brings the power and tone of the legendary high-output design to 8-string guitars. Engineered to deliver exceptional output voltage, it delivers remarkable versatility across musical styles, producing everything from pristine cleans to saturated overdrive.
Tailored specifically for the extended range and longer scale length of 8-string instruments, this pickup features slightly enhanced output with tighter low-end response and warmer highs. It provides balanced clarity and sustained punch across all eight strings without becoming muddy.
Built with ceramic magnets and standard four-conductor wiring, the Super Distortion 8 accommodates complex coil-splitting and series-parallel switching setups. It serves as an ideal drop-in upgrade for high-gain performance and modern progressive playing.
