Re: Tell me again, why they call this the "Distortion".
Yeah, I think that buzz is a temporary thing. This is the guitar that is missing the bridge pup, and I have a Hipshot on order for. I threw it back together real quick, and I probably left off the bridge ground.
If the computer's turned on, it buzzes. (When split.) Hopefully, my Hipshot will come in soon.

That was really nice Artie!!!!!! It sounds almost acoustic! What kind of rig are you running it through?

Re: Tell me again, why they call this the "Distortion".
Thanks Theodie. I suppose I cheated a little. I run into a DBX163x, (compression off), used just as a buffer, then split into a Johnson J-Station and an older Yamaha FX-500. Both the J and the Yamaha are set on the "acoustic" setting.
But even so, it doesn't mask the basic character of the pup. Just enhances it. For example, if I run my Strat through the exact same settings, it sounds like a Strat.
The Distortion is just so versatile. If I dial in the grunge, it rocks with the best of 'em.

Re: Tell me again, why they call this the "Distortion".
I guess one reason is because of the name they've given it. When one is in search for a pickup and they're not really familiar with the SD line, one would normally pass on it because of the name "Distortion". People easily misjudge it and move on to the next model without even trying it. I don't have an SH-6 on any of my guitars but my 16 year old have it on two of his Ibanez RG's and the SH-6 not only rocks but sings as well. It is a very versatile pickup in my opinion. It's how one uses it. Dimebag Darrell made some of the heaviest riffs out there that became legendary in the metal world with a single Bill Lawrence L-500-XL Humbucker...a pickup designed for JAZZ!!

Ehm , artie?? WHAT did you do to that DIstortion. THe poor pickup sounds like lil puddytat instead of a Roaring Lion
Nice clip, and DEFINITELY shows off the DD´s versatility (that it can do aggressive stuff we all know)
