Manufacturer's Description for DiMarzio DP100F F-Spaced Super Distortion

This is the pickup that started it all. Many of the classic Rock guitar sounds of the 70's and 80's were produced by a Super Distortion¬ and a raging tube amp. But don't confuse classic with outdated. Diverse artists from Al DiMeola, Frank Gambale, and Vinnie Moore to Metal veterans Iron Maiden and Ace Frehley have chosen the Super Distortion as an integral part of their personal sound. With plenty of output and mid-boost to boot your amp into overdrive, Super Distortion humbuckers put out a hot, thick tone with a tight bottom-end: a classic tone when plugged directly into the front-end of any high-gain tube amplifier. Used in the bridge position of a locking-trem equipped guitar, the Super Distortion puts back low-end the tremolo can bleed off.

The Super 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 DiMarzio first built the Super, 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 2 Supers wired in parallel when he was in Racer X. zZounds is an authorized dealer of DiMarzio products.

Read 1 DiMarzio DP100F F-Spaced Super Distortion Review

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Dimarzio keeps on keepin on."

Sound: In 40 years of professional experience, playing everything from country to jazz fusion I have run into no pick-up as versatile as the "Dimarzio super distortion." It misses nothing. When my pick attack is light for mellow jazz chords, every note and every thing my right hand is doing is crystal clear. When I play fusion I get the same results no matter how aggresive my pick attack may be. I recently replaced an EMG in the bridge position with the DP100 and there is no comparison. Compared to the Dimarzio, the EmG sounds like a transistor radio that has been turned up way too loud. The Dimarzio has more punch and more volume (had to reduce my post gain to more than half of what it was for the EMG) and it never loses it's tonal quality - extrordinary! Truely, the most productive pick-up around today. Sincerely, Mike E. Montgomery The Wow Factor: If you can play your feelings. You'll have no problem sharing them with the audience. Overall: I have used the Dimarzio in the past and do not expect to use anything else. I have come back to the ultimate pick-up - for good!

Style of Music: Jazz influenced R&B and fusion.
