The PAF® 36th Anniversary
Neck DP103 humbucker
It combines all of the characteristics of great vintage humbuckers: a soft magnetic field, sweet tone, perfect balance between
warmth and clarity, the ability to go from clean to distorted by pick attack alone. It''s not merely a clones— DiMarzio
re-engineered the PAF® using their patented technology and Larry DiMarzio's own 1959 cherry sunburst Les Paul® as
the reference. Larry's Les Paul® has a uniquely amazing sound and it's not only due to the pickups - it's the total fusion
of many elements of the guitar itself. Although the pickups have a weak magnetic field, the sound is well defined - almost
like a single-coil. We duplicated the weaker magnetic field in order to allow the strings to vibrate longer, as well as focus
and articulate the attack and output. We use computer-controlled winders to consistently layer the 42-gauge custom-coated
wire, achieving the exact frequency response we want. Then it's dipped in our custom formula to eliminate squeal and microphonics.
The cover is made from nickel-silver and our new plating makes it more magnetically transparent than the originals. The PAF
36th Anniversary Neck humbucker is smooth but not muddy.
Super Distortion DP100 (F-spaced)
This pickup started a sound revolution. Replacement pickups simply didn't exist before the invention of the Super Distortion®
in the early Seventies. The Super Distortion (and its original 3-conductor version, the Dual Sound®) was the first pickup
specifically designed to kick a tube amp into total overdrive, and is still the standard by which all other high-output pickups
are measured. The Super Distortion® has a perfect blend of power and tone: both single-notes and chords jump out of the
amp and fill the room (or the track) with a wall of sound. The balance of tones is classic—thick, boosted mids, big
lows and fat highs. This is the sound you've heard for over three decades on platinum records, from players as varied as Ace
Frehley, Al Di Meola and Paul Gilbert. It's also versatile: 4-conductor wiring allows instant access to Strat-like split and
series-parallel modes. Discover what thousands of great players know: the Super Distortion® is the best all-round high-power
pickup ever made.
The Super Distortion® is primarily a bridge position pickup, although it can be used in the neck position with a relatively
low-gain amp. Specifically designed for solid-bodies: hollow and semi-hollow guitars can be hard to control with warm, high
output pickups.
