The Super Distortion S™ offers the performance of the famous Super Distortion® in humbucking Strat® bridge direct replacement-size pickups. DiMarzio has built in the same blend of power and tone that made the original Super Distortion® the world-wide standard for high-output humbuckers. They 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 four-conductor wiring for parallel humbucking and split-coil modes.

A great bridge position combination with the Pro Track™, Chopper™ and Fast Track 1™.

The original Super Distortion Strat - introduced in 1978. It might look like a Strat® guitar pickup, but the SDS-1™ adds punch, gain, and warmth reminiscent of the best old soapbar pickups. The adjustable pole pieces don't pull as hard as regular rod magnets, so you can get the pickup closer to the strings for stronger output. The highs are less exaggerated and the bottom is deeper than most singles for a rounder, darker tone. If your guitar's bridge position sound is too edgy, without the push needed to drive your amp, remedy the situation with an SDS-1™. Add a pair of True Velvet™ pickups for sparkle, or a True Velvet™ in the neck and an FS-1™ in the middle for balanced tone choices.

Bridge positions

The bar magnets that power the SDS-1™ are ceramic, but the sound and feel are very similar to Alnico-equipped soapbars, partly due to the big steel polepieces and spacer bar. This type of magnet structure also has noticeably less magnetic pull than standard rod-magnet pickups, even though the output is very high for a single-coil.

The famous ToneZone high output humbucker but in a Strat sized package. The Tone Zone® S brings the famous performance of The Tone Zone® to a humbucking Strat® replacement pickup. We’ve built in the tremendous mid-range and bass response of the original Tone Zone®, and the same patented dual-resonance design produces great harmonics. We also took into account the likelihood of installing The Tone Zone® S in the classic slanted Strat® bridge position, warming up the higher frequencies and brightening the low notes a little. It 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, solid body guitars. Neck position when a very warm jazz guitar sound is required.

If you compare the specs of the full-size Tone Zone® with those of the Tone Zone S™, you will notice they don't match. That's because the trick in building a single-coil size pickup to sound like its big brother is to go for the sound rather than the numbers. We also took into account the likelihood that the Tone Zone S™ will be installed in the classic slanted Strat bridge position, so we warmed up the higher frequencies and brightened the low notes a little to compensate.



DiMarzio Fast Track 2  (DP182)

DiMarzio Fast Track 2 (DP182)


Our Price (each): £69.95 (Including VAT at 20%)

Side-by-side humbucker - high output with warm tone. It’s not any bigger than a single-coil pickup, but the sound of the Fast Track 2™ puts it right in the wide open, ?everything - on - 11? school. It’s got three times the output of an average single-coil, with a huge mid-range and bass punch and a strong resemblance to the Super Distortion®. This is DiMarzio's hottest single-coil sized bridge pickup - particularly useful when you need a tightly focused jolt of power to crank your amplifier into rich overdrive.

Bridge position for all Strat-style guitars. The dual-blade polepieces can handle all string-spacing options.

To get some sense of the Fast Track 2™, it's best to think of it as a Strat-sized version of the Super Distortion® or Super 3™, the two pickups it most closely resembles. Using a 500K volume control will open up the top end, and we recommend this value. The best neck and middle pickup combinations with the 2 would be relatively hot models like the Fast Track 1™, Chopper™ and Pro Track™. You can also mix it with Stratier models like the Virtual Vintage® line, if you're prepared for the jump in power of the bridge position.

Seymour Duncan  SSL-4 Quarter-Pound™ for Strat - Flat Seymour Duncan SSL-4 Quarter-Pound™ for Strat - Flat

SSL-4 More than double the power of a stock pickup. You get a fat, punchy sound, clean at lower volumes and high output when cranked. Lead playing with this pickup easily cuts above a humbucker. The hand polished, quarter-inch wide magnets are matched with a powerful coil winding to deliver great sustain.
Available RW/RP. Tapped version for dual output levels.
Available in calibrated sets with a RW/RP middle

High output true single-coil for warm instruments. Recommended for country, pop, blues, classic rock and heavy rock.

This is the next step up from the SSL-5 and SSL-6 with more sustain, fullness, and output - and less treble response. The raised flat Alnico 5 pole pieces are taller for a stronger and deeper magnetic field. Extra coil windings provide extra power making this pickup great for heavier music styles. Only supplied with a white cover.

Calibrated set available with RW/RP middle pickup. Many players use an SSL-3 in the bridge position with vintage output pickups, like SSL-2's, in the neck and middle for tonal versatility.

Seymour Duncan  STKS-2 Hot Stack® Seymour Duncan STKS-2 Hot Stack®

STK-S2 The complex and distinctive sound of the old Stratocaster® guitars was due to the narrow, sharply focused magnetic field of the single coil pickup. With staggered magnet heights, our Classic Stack® pickup duplicates this sought after sound. By stacking two coils on top of each other, the annoying noise and hum of the single coil pickup is eliminated. Available in white or black. Four conductor cable
