I have just read up on the SD on the DiMarzio site and I have come to understand there is an extra MID-boost. Can anybody support this? Because, if this is true, I'm buying it. I want mids, mids and MORE mids.

Norton? What is this? I've never heard of it.... DiMarzio? Seymour Duncan?

Norton® is the name, and nasty is the game. Following in the footsteps of Fred®, Norton® has the kind of rich harmonics you thought you could only get from a single-coil. It also has more volume, mid-range and bass than a vintage humbucker. We achieved this through our patented "dual-resonance" design. It's the only way to get a bridge humbucker to sound so solid, or a neck pickup to sound so big.
Recommended For: Bridge position. Can also be used in neck position with hotter humbuckers like Tone Zone®, Super Distortion®, Super 3™. All solid body guitars.
Tech Talk: Norton® was originally designed to extend the tonal range and power of standard output humbuckers without going over the top. It's more modern than a PAF® sound: the benchmark Les Paul/Marshall combination yields more midrange crunch and high frequency pick harmonics than vintage-style pickups were capable of putting out. Really good for opening up the sound of mahogany set-neck guitars.

Re: DiMarzio Super Distortion
in that case, the norton still may be what you're looking for but the EVO is another choice too. but the evo is extremely hot, and i mean really hot. but i still say for the norton.

Re: DiMarzio Super Distortion
The Super Distortion is a really harmonically rich pickup, with good mids and a heavy bottom end. It's one of those pickups that keeps sounding better and better the higher you turn the gain up.
I think the Super Distortion is higher output than the Norton, if that's your thing.

Re: DiMarzio Super Distortion
Get the Super 3 for straight up mids....it's got all the mids of the Super Distortion but it's tighter and the bass isn't quite as big/loose sounding. It's got a ceramic mag too so it has a nice bite to it as well.
Although I admittedly love the Super Distortion too...

Re: DiMarzio Super Distortion
Basically, what I want is a tone most identical to Slayer. What I meant by "low bass" was, I want more mids than bass. I dont like my sound to be drowned out by bass like with the Invader. I just want it to sound as DEATH-metal as possible

Re: DiMarzio Super Distortion
I have some songs using the Super Distortion. Click on My Latest Music in my sig. I believe I used it on "The Excitement!" and "Battletoads Theme". Hope that helps! Super Distortion is one of my favorite pickups. Definitely my fav for 80's style lead work. :13:
