DiMarzio DP100FBK Super Distortion 4-Conductor Ceramic Humbucker F Spaced Black

The original high-output humbucker that changed guitar tone

The DiMarzio DP100F Super Distortion F-Spaced humbucker is one of the most influential replacement pickups ever created. Introduced in the early 1970s, it was designed specifically to drive tube amplifiers into rich overdrive, helping define the powerful rock guitar sound heard on countless recordings for decades.

Built with a ceramic magnet and a resistance of 13.68 kΩ, the Super Distortion delivers thick mids, strong low end and fat highs that give chords weight and single notes strong projection. Its high output helps push an amp harder, producing the saturated tones associated with classic hard rock and metal. The F-spaced (meaning Fender-spaced) pole spacing makes it suitable for guitars with wider bridge spacing, such as many tremolo-equipped instruments.

Four-conductor wiring expands tonal flexibility with coil-splitting and series or parallel wiring options, allowing humbucking power or brighter, single-coil-style sounds when needed.

At Riffs & Licks Music, we think the Super Distortion remains a benchmark bridge pickup for players chasing powerful classic rock tone with versatility built in.
