DiMarzio® Super Distortion® Pickup
Standard Spaced – Black
The Original High‑Output Humbucker
The DiMarzio Super Distortion is a true classic, famed for kick‑starting the high‑output pickup revolution.
This standard‑spaced version with a sleek all‑black cover delivers the same legendary power, sustain and midrange punch that has made it a staple for rock and metal guitarists worldwide, with a clean, understated aesthetic that suits any instrument.
Power Your Amp, Shape Your Sound
Designed to hit the front end of a valve amp harder, the Super Distortion uses an overwound coil design and ceramic magnet to produce thick lows, aggressive mids and singing highs.
Whether you’re upgrading a darker guitar or looking to add authority to your bridge position, this pickup excels at driving distortion while remaining tight and focused.
This pickup is ideal for:
- Rock, hard rock and metal players
- Bridge-position pickup upgrades
- Guitars lacking output or midrange presence
