Description

The Super Distortion® S offers the performance of the famous Super Distortion® in a humbucking Strat® bridge direct replacement-size pickup. We’ve built in the same blend of power and tone that made the original Super Distortion® the worldwide standard for high-output humbuckers. We also tweaked the sound to take into account the fact that the Super Distortion® S will be installed in the classic slanted bridge position. The new model has 4-conductor wiring for parallel humbucking and split-coil modes, and makes a great bridge position combination with the Pro Track™, The Chopper™, and Fast Track 1™.

Since the Super Distortion® S will usually be installed in the slanted bridge position of a 25 ½” scale guitar, we’ve adjusted the specs of the original Super Distortion® humbuckers to compensate. Treble response is smoother, and bass response is tighter. Because of their narrow magnetic fields, dual-blade Strat® replacements are not generally well-known for their splitting ability. However, the Super Distortion® S has a very good single-coil sound in split mode that isn’t brittle or weak.

Recommended for Bridge position in solid body guitars, can also be used in neck and middle.

    First and foremost, this pickup is above any and all expectations I had for it. I’ve got it in the middle position of a Jem jr, with a D Activator X in the neck and an X2N in the bridge, with a 1 meg pot installed. It has a lot of great low end, the mids are nicely pronounced and the treble has plenty of presence to cut through. Nice and powerful and holds it’s own well between two humbuckers.
