What players and reviewers say

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.”
