Re: Duncan vs. Dimarzio Super Distortion.
I just have to chime in....
The Dimarzio Super Distortion is just a classic tone. It is Harmonically Rich, Fatter and Bassier than the JB, plenty of mids, the growl of a Custom, and balls out for that classic 70s, push a Marshall to the breaking point tone.
However, it does not have the most open tone, and it compresses a bit much for my taste. I like the Custom for the same application you are mentioning. The Invader is a little too crunchy without the smoothness or bass. I am not familiar with the Distortion, so someone else can give their $.02 USD
