The Super Distortion S offers the performance of the famous Super Distortion in a humbucking Strat bridge direct replacement-size pickup. We’ve built in the same blend of power and tone that made the original Super Distortion the worldwide standard for high-output humbuckers. We also tweaked the sound to take into account the fact that the Super Distortion S will be installed in the classic slanted bridge position. The new model has 4-conductor wiring for parallel humbucking and split-coil modes, and makes a great bridge position combination with the Pro Track, The Chopper, and Fast Track 1.

Bridge position in solid body guitars, can also be used in neck and middle.

Tech Talk

Since the Super Distortion S will usually be installed in the slanted bridge position of a 251/2″ scale guitar, we’ve adjusted the specs of the original Super Distortion humbuckers to compensate. Treble response is smoother, and bass response is tighter. Because of their narrow magnetic fields, dual-blade Strat replacements are not generally well-known for their splitting ability. However, the Super Distortion S has a very good single-coil sound in split mode that isn’t brittle or weak.

Distortion Pedals

Distortion pedals create a heavier, more aggressive gain sound than most overdrive pedals, giving guitarists the sustain, bite and saturation needed for rock, punk, metal and hard-hitting lead tones. They can turn a clean amp into a high-gain platform or add an extra layer of intensity to an already driven sound.

Some distortion pedals are tight and modern, while others are raw, fizzy or vintage-inspired. Choosing the right one depends on whether you want chunky rhythm tones, singing sustain, scooped metal sounds or a classic hard-rock voice with plenty of attack.

Distortion

Distortion pedals and related effects are commonly used by guitarists looking to shape their tone in a more focused and creative way. Different designs offer their own response, feel and tonal character depending on the style of music and the type of amplifier or guitar being used.

Many players build pedalboards gradually over time, combining different effects and utilities to create a setup that suits their own sound and workflow. Distortion related gear can play an important role in both live performance and studio recording.
