Gibson Les Paul Standard - DiMarzio Super Distortion DP100 + Gibson 490R Pickups Matt Thorpe

My Gibson Les Paul Standard 1990 model in Wine Red. This was for a long time my main gigging guitar. It is now returned to the pickup configuration I used then. This DiMarzio Super Distortion Humbucker DP-100 I bought back in the 70's. The neck pickup is the original Gibson 490R that came with the guitar. The track is played through my Line6 PODxt

has the dimarzio nice cleans ?

[Mattukgtr]

@socratesvak on its own it can sound a little brash when clean although if you dig in for a country solo through a clean valve amp it absolutely scorches ! Sounds nicer with twin pickup sound on LP when clean.

Hi dear, is your DiMarzio the Early SUPERDISTORTION on Paf design with 3 wires only? made around the 70s? I have one, but I never installed it.

[Mattukgtr]

@MALSTROM02 Yes my older on is a Super Distortion the PAF was a different pickup. However it is 3 wire. One black one white and then the shielding braid. Install it !!

[thefaketahare]

fuck line 6. everything from them has a horrible mettalic, kissy tone. having said that, you're playing is top notch.

[MATTIEBOYY88]

@Mattukgtr Yeah the original SD is great

[lesleypaul59]

sounds AMAZING with that bit of overdrive... how does it do in a high-gain setting?

[TheSunshineSwine]

Smokin' blues jam my friend. Kudos to you!

[angelsg1000]

mmmmmmm DiMarzio Super Distortion :D

[Rizenchaos]

@JPCvids -THANKS!

[JPCvids]

@Rizenchaos NO!! The name Super Distortion arose in the 70s presumably because of the pickups ability to make a valve amp distort. If the amp is clean you get clean. The pickup overdrives the amp to get the distortion but it does so more easily than say a standard Gibson humbucker.

[Rizenchaos]

DOES IT MEAN IF YOU HAVE THAT PICK UP(DI MARZIO SUPERDISTORTION)THE SOUND IS DISTORTED EVEN YOUR NOT USING ANY GUITAR EFECTS PROCESSOR/EFFECTS/PEDAL?

[myampsonfire]

you got chops bro

[djmm1397]

@Nobody2336 it depends. if you play heavy metal or hard rock, this definitely is for you. decent price. you can even choose what color you want.

[brazwen]

Is that a Jimi Hendrix song in the beginning?

[Rocknweb]

One thing is sure better you play less important are pickups

Well done !

[Guitar8870]

@Brndnrchrdsn85 YEAH ISN'IT UT AWSOME?!?!? =)

[Brndnrchrdsn85]

@Guitar8870 IS YOUR CAPS LOCK BUTTON BROKE LIKE MINE?

[Nobody2336]

I'm looking for a pick-up to replace my Dirty Fingers Humbucker on my Tom DeLonge signature. Would this be any good? I was gonna get a Seymour Duncan Invader but I'm not sure. (Any advice would be GREAT)

[desr2395]

i just got a set from the 80's for free. i cant wait to get them put in

[HearingLossProvider]

Outstanding!

[AnuluFijoDeMama]

Killer tone!

[Fluffypopcicle]

@royalguard08

yeah. if they're the right size then it shouldn't be a problem.
