Think of the Super 3 as a
Super Distortion with more mid-range grind and chopped treble. If you
play your amp with scooped mids and intense overdrive, this is your
pickup. The Super 3 pickup’s smooth highs allow you to turn up your
amp's treble and presence without fear of thinning out your sound, and
the crunchy mids ensure you won't get lost in the mix. It's also a
great pickup to use with distortion pedals - it drives them hard and
allows full use of their tone controls.
The Super 3 has been
getting the reputation for being a real workhorse for heavy metal. The
top end is very dark (especially for a high-output pickup), but the low
end isn't real muddy, so you can turn both bass and treble controls up
on your amp to get both scream and crunch.
Recommended For:
The Super 3 is primarily a bridge position pickup. Specifically
designed for solid-bodies; hollow and semi-hollow guitars can be hard
to control with warm, high output pickups.
