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]

Thanks for the info. Yeah, I'm a "classic rock" kinda guy for the most part- makes ya feel old, huh? But I'm rediscovering the guitar again, and want more "oomph" from my Ibananez' with a grittier, metal-ish kinda sound. So your info has decided it for me- not the type of pickup for me. I can get the 70's sound out of my Fenders. I was never much of a guitar modder; pretty much stock everything, so your last coupla lines is Greek to me, lol. But your info is enough to have allowed me to make an informed decision. Thanks much.
