What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Gravity Storm
“The bridge has a little punch while presenting some bold high end and mids to spare.”
“Chimey, glassy, crystalline, but with a little snap and spank when pushed.”
On the DiMarzio Super Distortion
“the Super D and DD are two VERY different sounding pickups.”
Comparing with Seymour Duncan Distortion (SH-6)
“The DD is very different from the SD. As mentioned the DD is tight, percussive and hot, while the SD is big warm and fuzzy.”
