[font=trebuchet ms]I've been using a DP101 Dual Sound in my Yamaha SBG1000 since '86. It's a 4-wire version of the Super Distortion. If you like 70's music, that's your baby. I prefer the wiring versatility of the DP101 over the 2-wire DP100, but I bought new, so I had that option. The Super Distortion is the sound of Classic Rock. That's the pickup that started the whole replacement pickup industry.

It works best with a high value of volume pot resistance. 250 k Ohms will make it sound dark and muffled. Try a 500 k pot, or even a 1 meg.[/font]
