I've always been a fan of the Super Distortion. A great, big, thick sounding rock and roll pickup. They have a lot of punch and are very open sounding. I love them.
I’m as impressed that you found a set of 70’s Super Distortions as I am the sound. I’ve always been a super distortion, as a classic hard rock guy. But, those sound especially killer! Btw, I agree with you on the Burstbuckers. I love Gibson pups, but not those. Give me ‘57’s, 498’s, or Custom buckers. Very cool video.
I totally get what your saying,,, as far as Gibson pick ups are concerned,,,I have never been a fan,,,but I do have some 57’s that do howler sound great, So with that being said. I have been a faithful Dimarzio fan since hearing Ace playing his famous budakon Les Paul. Super distortion, and the PAF’s do a remarkable Job for make your NUTZ TINGLE in the sound dept! Hope this helps! Great vid, jam on young rocker!
I didn't think the Burstbuckers sounded that bad. But I can see how you like the Super Distortion pups. They are well suited to your playing style. Man, I'd like to see how you would sound with one of those "Virtual Jeff" rigs on that guitar. Badass black on black. You won't have to worry about tuning. I hope all is ok, John...
My 2011 Gibson Midtown Custom came with Burstbucker 1 in the neck position and Burstbucker 2 in the bridge & they sound Fantastic_ but you are absolutely right , the Burstbuckers in your SG did Not sound good at all _ but the Dimarzios sound Great_ Vast improvement _!!
The Marshall Origin amps are low gain amps. Even cranked all the way up, my Origin 20 stays pretty much clean when I play single coils into it. I’d say that is the actual reason you were struggling to get distortion with the BurstBuckers more so than the pickups themselves.
