The DP100FCR is a direct descendant of the legendary Super Distortion – it's got that signature high-output, mid-focused growl. This is your pickup if you're chasing a modern rock or metal tone with plenty of punch and sustain, particularly in a Floyd Rose guitar. It's a workhorse pickup, plain and simple.

Product Description

DiMarzio DP100FCR, Super Distortion-F

  • Pretty much everything began with the DiMarzio Super Distortion. We remember the '70s: everyone wanted the fat
  • creamy tube overdrive
  • but this was only possible at downright harmful volumes (since the master volume control was not so widespread). Many pickups simply delivered too little output and sustain because the amp couldn't be sufficiently overdriven. But then
  • Larry DiMarzio built the Super Distortion
  • and thus the blueprint of all distortion pickups was born. Even today the SD sounds good: high output
  • combined with a significant increase in mids
  • makes any amp jump for joy. Even today
  • it is for many people the pickup for life. With the DP101 FBK
  • the Super Distortion is available for guitars with F-spacing.

, Ceramic magnet, Ideal for the bridge position, Ideal for the '70s and '80s rock sound, Colour: Spaced-cream

PROS
  • • Classic high-output DiMarzio tone, instantly recognizable and powerful.
  • • Ceramic magnet delivers aggressive, tight lows and focused highs.
  • • F-spacing design accommodates Floyd Rose tremolo systems seamlessly.
  • • Provides substantial sustain and harmonic complexity for modern rock styles.
CONS
  • • Can be overly aggressive for cleaner, vintage-style tones; lacks nuance.
  • • The ceramic magnet can sound slightly harsh with certain amp pairings.
  • • High output may require adjustments to amp settings or EQ.

Frequently Asked Questions

The DP100FCR is specifically designed for F-spacing, making it ideal for Floyd Rose systems; the original Super Distortion is for standard spacing and has a slightly more open, less compressed tone.
While it *can* work, it’s really designed for driven amps – a clean setting will likely sound thin and underwhelming due to its high output and aggressive character.
Absolutely; the ceramic provides a tighter, more focused sound with more aggressive high-end frequencies than Alnico, offering a more modern, 'scooped' tone.
