What players and reviewers say
On the DiMarzio Steve Morse Model
“It works great in the Steve Morse model guitar or in an ax pushing a Mesa Rectofier as it doesn't get muddy and is very punchy through an amp with a lot of lows like the Mesa.”
“Yes, it's dark ish, I had treble at 3 o'clock, but it DOES sound like Steve Morse, that's his tone.”
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.”
