What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Fast Track 2
“The crunch factor is top notch and is excellent for 80s riff-rock and modern extreme tight chugging.”
On the DiMarzio Super Distortion S
“On paper, it delivers the bite and sustain of the original Super Distortion with more focus, less flab, and a tighter low end for Strat bridge positions.”
“The low end stays tight and responsive, not the mushy kind that gets lost in distortion.”
