DiMarzio Super Distortion Pickup

The DiMarzio Super Distortion is the industry benchmark for high-output humbuckers, originally engineered to push tube amplifiers straight into rich overdrive. Its signature tonal structure features thick, boosted midrange frequencies, punchy low-end response, and fat highs that cut through any mix.
Equipped with ceramic magnets and 4-conductor wiring, this versatile pickup easily switches between standard series humbucking, parallel modes, and single-coil split configurations for Strat-style tones. It delivers substantial power and sustain whether tracking rhythm crunch or cutting solo lines.
Primarily designed for bridge position placement in solid-body electric guitars, the Super Distortion offers a proven sonic balance trusted by legendary guitarists across rock and metal genres worldwide.
