which do you prefer? and why?
Darren you could make a shoelace tied to a broomstick sound good..just slap a pickup on it and you'd be set loldstroud":1f7royom said:I prefer the Duncan Distortion. I used the Dimarzio Super Distortion for years and on a whim tried the Duncan. I much preferred the feel of the Duncan. I like the way it reacted to my playing better. I think the Dimarzio was a bit blocky and cold - the Duncan seemed very natural and goes along with my playing and there's no fighing it as much with the Dimarzio.

The Dimarzio has a more biting, "in-your-face" aggressiveness that continues to make it popular to this day...nearly 40 years after it was first released.
In a word:
Duncan = "bigger"
Dimarzio = "bolder"
