    I use the microwave for three months in the bridge position on a jackson I found the sound a bit rough with the Metal Muff MXR. I am happy for trs use that I do. Fans and crystal clear sound go your way. Even if it is doing quite respectably on a clean channel, it feels faster than the lion would like to get out of his cage. Indeed, it sufit to push a little gain to feel a crunch subreption happen. Well, I used plutt of the metal (at the same time, I have a jackson, Gretsh not ... but I would like to have one :-)). In clean sound is fairly neutral and homogne supports some SETTING THE knob to draw what you want.

    Let the distortion. Personally, I go - see above - on a Metal Muff, a matter of taste. L I must say that I used t. A well-Defines the trs, trs prcis see too much sustain, acute plutt medium, which allows not empiter on bass in a prod but it is dpourvu not provided. Be careful, this microphone is VERY prcis, it supports some errors because some drooling, big sound but not adborde has s'arrte sec. No breath, the only one I have is of my pedals.

    Careful editing, Di Marzio has its own color code, so first of all, READ THE DOC!

    I referrer that choice without hsiter

    Old school high output pickup

    DiMarzio DP100 Super DistortionPublished on 05/17/11 at 17:01
    The Dimarzio Super Distortion was one of the first aftermarket guitar pickups introducted. In the early 70s guitar players were looking for pickups that would push their amps harder. The PAF pickups at the time were low output and the guitar players needed more. Dimarzio decided to take the PAF design and add more powerful magnets to it. When the Super Distortion came it it had nearly double the output of the classic PAF pickups. With twice the output guitar players were able to push their amps harder and it was easier to get a more distorted heavier sound. The tone of the Super Distortion is more balanced towards the low end and mids. Too much high end in a high output pickup may cause the…

When the Super Distortion came it it had nearly double the output of the classic PAF pickups. With twice the output guitar players were able to push their amps harder and it was easier to get a more distorted heavier sound. The tone of the Super Distortion is more balanced towards the low end and mids. Too much high end in a high output pickup may cause the guitar to sound too bright. The old Super Distortion is still the standard when it comes to high gain pickups. It is a very versatile pickup, it can do anything from classic rock to metal. It is intended to be used in the bridge of a guitar but can also be used in the neck position in a lower gain setup. When the Super Distortion came out it came with a single conductor setup. This was ok at the time but now people want more versatility. The Super Distortion now comes with a 4 conductor setup which allows the coils in the pickups to be split. When you split the coils of a humbucker it turns into a single coil. With a single coil you can replicate the tones of a stratocaster guitar. With the 4 conductor setup you can also wire the pickups in parallel which gives a unique sound. Parallel pickups are still humbucking but they have a more hollow sound.

    The original high output pickup

    DiMarzio DP100 Super DistortionPublished on 03/22/11 at 10:39
    DiMarzio was one of the first aftermarket companies to form, and the Super Distortion was one of the world’s first high output pickups. During the 70s and 80s, it gained tons of popularity for those wanting to drive their amps even harder.

    The Super Distortion is one of those pickups that, even though it’s old, it’s still somewhat relevant today. It’s a high output pickup that doesn’t clean up too well, but it can still do that oldschool hard rock vibe no problem. Plugged straight into a Marshall, it’ll give you that famous KISS style sound – enough breakup but not too much over the top distortion. It’s a fairly compressed pickup, but it still retains the character of the guitar, unli…

It’s a high output pickup that doesn’t clean up too well, but it can still do that oldschool hard rock vibe no problem. Plugged straight into a Marshall, it’ll give you that famous KISS style sound – enough breakup but not too much over the top distortion. It’s a fairly compressed pickup, but it still retains the character of the guitar, unlike certain other pickups on the market.

    This pickup works best in guitars that are a bit lacking in the bottom end, IMO. It’s a fat pickup with lots of midrange. If you have a single pickup guitar, I’d say your best bet would probably be either this or a Seymour Duncan Custom. The low notes are fat without sounding flubby, and the high notes sound very round. You don’t have to worry about your treble strings getting too harsh when using this pickup.

    The adjustable pole pieces help make this super versatile when it comes to dialing in the magnetic string pull. If you’re finding there’s a bit too much output with this pickup, try lowering it. As it gets lower, it helps clean everything up. It’ll also ghost note less. If you have a four-conductor version, try adding a push/pull pot to split it. Once you do, you’ll have the DiMarzio Dual Sound.

    Those of you looking to try out a new pickup for your guitar, this is still worth checking out. It’s a bit more compressed than most boutique pickups, but since the market is saturated with these, you can find them real cheap on eBay or online forms. If you don’t like it, it should be easy enough to flip, unlike certain other rare pickups.

    I had bought was the time for a les paul, and after this was no longer at all the same.! rage, that aggressive sound change and too soft blues of the beautiful. it looks beige coils was apparent also much more beautiful than large caps chrome gibson cheesy ... Of course, I bought the same in the neck position. And my les paul has become a real aggressive tigress. I love the grain of typical old Di Marzio. I recommend to all.! and then I put the same on a Start ... see the result! it's beautiful ...

    I use the DP100 for 1 week on an JACKSON dx10d with my multi effects g92TT zoom through 2 amps, 1 performer 1000et a JCM900 4501!

    I used different microphones and Seymour Duncan DIMARZIO DIMARZIO really and honestly, for me a typical grain! what they did not bite that DUNCAN! At DUNCAN, I used the hot rail bin compared to the super Distortion is not photo! Hot Rail is a petty bourgeois, so that the super distortion is a bit edgy guy who breaks everything! Many users say it is very precise, it is indeed the case ! is a dedicated micro déjas experienced players, he does not forgive and we must know how to balance the energy of his guitar!

    Ais as I said above, I love the teeth typical of DIMARZIO, but he must remain what its shipments !!!!! you can do anything with (aside for clean sounds, or c ' is a little tight, but we j'pense not buy it for that, anyway, not me !!!!) By the way Adrian Smith and Dave Murray use this mic on their guitars!
    In DIMARZIO, son of different colors from other manufacturers, so be careful, but otherwise standard connection, no problems!

    For 77 euros, is given a note that it may go at neck and bridge! Of course, I would do this election !!!!!!!!
