Super Distortion 7.

thrill74 · 03-18-2007, 02:11 PM

Is there anything that's similar to a Super Distortion but for a 7 string? I'm thinking about sending my specs to Searcy Stringworks and have him make me up a 7 pickup that's just like it. I just want to know if there is anything out there already that I'm missing besides the usual Blaze, D-Sonic, Evo etc....
Passive and not over a $100. Does it exist?

the dimarzio D Activator bridge is the closest thing to a dimarzio super distortion that i've found. i'm personally not a fan of the super distortion myself but the D Activator bridge has all the good qualities of the that pickup and none of the bad (ex. ice picky higher notes, overall harsh thin sound)

I totally couldn't do the Duncan Distortion in my 6 string RG. Initially it was awesome, good harmonics, no mud etc. But there was this little high end sparkle that I couldn't dial out. The more I tried to cut my EQ the worse it got. Even though I was cutting out high end I just couldn't get rid of that top end sparkle/twang. Still not as bad as a Pearly Gates, THAT thing is almost useless cause it's so over the top! But I really do like the Super Distortion's characteristics. I can dial more bass or less highs or whatever and still have good mids. Duncan's Custom Custom comes to mind, except more defined. How much are D-Activator's going for?

The "New 7" bridge pickup from an RG7620/7621.

I would not say the SD Distortion is like the DMZ Super Distortion, they're almost opposites from looking at their EQ curves, the Invader is more like the Super Distortion than the Distortion.

that being said, Toshiro is right, DMZ says the bridge New 7 is based on the Super Distortion.
