DP100
This pickup started a sound revolution. Replacement pickups simply didn’t exist before the invention of the Super DistortionxAE in the early Seventies. The Super DistortionxAE (and its original 3-conductor version, the Dual SoundxAE) 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 DistortionxAE 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 over three decades on platinum records, from players as varied as Ace Frehley, Al Di Meola, and Paul Gilbert. It’s also versatile: 4-conductor wiring allows instant access to StratxAE-like split and series-parallel modes. Discover what thousands of great players know: the Super DistortionxAE is the best all ’round high-power pickup ever made.

Recommended For Bridge position.
The Super DistortionxAE 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.
Tech Talk
When we first built the Super DistortionxAE, it was a 1-conductor pickup. As a 4-conductor pickup, it's extremely versatile. Coil-splitting produces a very StratxAE-like option, both in tone and power. Parallel wiring is similar to splitting, but it's still humbucking and a little more hollow-sounding; Paul Gilbert used to use two Super DistortionxAE pickups wired in parallel when he was in Racer X.
