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.
