A smokin' bridge-position pickup.

Take a DiMarzio Super Distortion humbucker, add a mini-switch and 4-conductor wiring for parallel and single-coil operation, and you have the DiMarzio Dual Sound pickup! The extra flexibility puts cleaner, crisper tone choices at your control. Lighten up on the lead tone in parallel operation, then roar back in with the standard series position or use the single-coil mode along with the neck or middle pickup for chopping rhythm tones. If you crave brighter, more transparent sounds from your bridge or neck pickup without sacrificing wide, singing crunch, the Dual Sound fills the bill.

DiMarzio DP101 Dual Sound Bridge Pickup Features:

• Parallel and single-coil operation with mini-switch
• Tonal flexibility from crunchy rhythm to searing leads
• Recommended for bridge position

DiMarzio Super Distortion

This pickup (DP101) is the same as the Super Distortion (DP100). While I prefer lower output vintage style p'ups I installed one into one of my guitars and added a switch for single coil or normal series humbucking mode. A TON of output compared to classic PAFs. A nice dark push in the low-mids. Great for hard rock or metal. Even good for Classic Rock. Single coil mode takes down the output and brightens the sound.

My best guitar inprovement

For sentimental reasons, I wanted to play an old off-brand guitar (my first) and the pickup were not much to speak of. I could not throw it away so I bought the DP101. Wow, what a cool sound. It reminds me of old ZZ-Top, AC-DC sounds. It keeps the true tone as well as tons of mid-range and low crunch. I would have to say the instructions are a little vague but I figured out how to wire it for single and full Dual coil. This is good since it has such high gain, I like to play clean some and the single coil mode sounds more thin and clean. By the way notes just keep going. It does take a little effects adjustment such as EQ and gain. With the more modern music at church, I needed a better sounding distortion pickup as well as more subdued lighter sounds.

Greatest pickup ever made

My father bought two of these killer pickups 1 year after DiMarzio went into business. They were an unheard of company, and they still beat anything I've ever heard. Todays dual sound is cleaner and better than ever. If you have to buy any pickup, BUY THIS ONE!!!

I bought this pickup a year ago and it has been great. I put it in my Les Paul and it made it sound like a whole new guitar. The price isn't bad ether.

Upon ordering the Dual sound i didn't know what exactly i was looking for, i knew i wanted some bada** tones from the 70s-80s to keep my tonal palette well rounded. when i installed the pickup i was very pleased to hear the difference it made instead of my old single coil. a radical departure, i know. with the wiring set to parallel, it didn't sound weak or anemic, it had a nice transparent quality with most of its output intact, though dropping off ever so slightly. which helped when i put it back into phase posistion. it screams, and it shreds with a warm almost rounded sound that cut very well no matter what i was doing.
