The DiMarzio DP100 Super Distortion Humbucker Pickup in Black is one of the most legendary replacement pickups ever made. Introduced in the early 1970s, it quickly became the first widely popular high-output humbucker designed to push tube amplifiers into rich, natural overdrive. The Super Distortion delivers a powerful, aggressive voice with thick lows, boosted mids, and smooth highs that help guitars cut through the mix with authority.

Designed primarily for the bridge position, this pickup excels at driving amplifiers into saturated rock tones while still maintaining clarity and note definition. Its ceramic magnet and high-output coil design create the punch and sustain that have made it a favorite for hard rock, classic metal, and high-energy blues players for decades.

The DP100 also features four-conductor wiring, giving players flexibility for coil splitting and other custom wiring options. With its classic uncovered black bobbins and unmistakable tone, the Super Distortion remains one of the most trusted upgrades for players looking to add power and character to their guitar.
