Re: Humbucker for a wimpy guitar
Super Distortion wimpy? Try a Tone Zone or a Crunch Lab. A Duncan Distortion might do the trick too.

Re: Humbucker for a wimpy guitar
What guitar woods? Does it have a trem bridge?
My first thought was a PATB trembucker, assuming it is has a trem bridge. If by wimpy you mean low output, an Invader or Alt 8 would be great high output choices.

Re: Humbucker for a wimpy guitar
wow i have heard the DSD called a lot of things but NEVER whimpy?
Get a tone zone,that pup will cure any weak sounding guitar instantly and of the thicker/fatter/ballsier pu's out there is still has great definition and dynamics something the INVADER lacks:cool2:

This^1. Or, if it is even a DSD. Some have thought they had it, only to realize later that they had a Super Distortion 2(totally different).

Re: Humbucker for a wimpy guitar
drop a JB in that bad boy! you'll get much brighter tones and higher output.

Re: Humbucker for a wimpy guitar
I had this issue once- i traded the guitar for something heavier.
That day there was an Asian Charvel in the store. It was a toss up between the Schecter Diamond series & Charvel: sentimentally, i took the Charvel. Oddly enough, it had all the extra mass & resonance i needed to get the chunk back outa my Dunc Distortion Sh6. (i wont say what the too lite guitar was, but it rung like a tennis racquet unplugged).
Unplugged it was significantly more mass, but not heavyduty SO much more. So my 2 cents is, is it tradeable? If not, cool. If so, it could be like $50 coupon to something that grants your Super D or whatnot the ballsiness, woodiness & resonance you want from the start. Because if its not there at the start ( in the guitar), then the balls may just sound dialed in ultimately.

Re: Humbucker for a wimpy guitar
By wimpy I mean that there is no sustain, very thin, no balls. Almost everything about the guitar is cheap so a year ago I added the Super D and I was not impressed. The wiring for the pickup isn't screwed up, probably the wiring for the guitar is the problem.
