    The DiMarzio Super PAF is the same legendary Super Distortion pickup that put high-output ceramic humbuckers on the map, now available with a vintage PAF look.

     

    Dimarzio DP500BK Super PAF Ceramic Pickup Black Features:

    • Specifically designed to kick a tube amp into total overdrive
    • High-output with ceramic magnets
    • The perfect blend of power and tone
    • Thick, boosted mids, big lows and fat highs
    • 4-conductor wiring enables split, series, or parallel modes
    • Primarily a bridge position pickup

    The Super Distortion started a sound revolution. Replacement pickups simply didn’t exist before the invention of the Super Distortion in the early Seventies. The Super Distortion was the first pickup specifically designed to kick a tube amp into total overdrive and is still the standard by which all other high-output pickups are measured. The Super Distortion has a perfect blend of power and tone: both single-notes and chords jump out of the amp and fill the room (or the track) with a wall of sound. The balance of tones is classic — thick, boosted mids, big lows and fat highs. This is the sound you’ve heard for five decades on platinum records, from players as varied as Ace Frehley, Al Di Meola, Phil Collen, Tom Scholz, Paul Gilbert and many more. It’s also versatile: 4-conductor wiring allows instant access to Strat-like split and series-parallel modes. Discover what thousands of great players know: the Super Distortion is the best all ’round high-power pickup ever made.

     

    Recommended For:

    The Super Distortion 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.
