A Super Distortion in a P90 cover? Cool! DiMarzio’s Super Distortion
has been the industry standard since its introduction in the early 70s.
The new P90 Super Distortion is our highest-output humbucking
“soapbar” replacement, and it gives players with guitars routed for
P90-style pickups the ability to upgrade their pickups without any
modification to the guitar. Like the original Super Distortion®, it has
12 adjustable pole pieces and 4-conductor wiring for split and parallel
humbucking modes.
Because of its slightly different coil
architecture, the P90 Super Distortion has a little smoother treble
response than the original, which you'll hear mostly at the higher
frets. Like the original Super Distortion, the P90 version was intended
primarily for use in the bridge position. It can also be used in the
neck position, where you'll get the best results with most amplifiers"
clean or moderate-gain channels. Parallel and split wiring drop the
volume and increase treble response, and these modes are equally useful
in any position. Not available in a "dog-ear" version.
