Guitar WiringDiMarzio describes Super 3 as a Super Distortion with more mid-range grind and chopped treble, intended for scooped-mid high-overdrive amps and as a workhorse for heavy metal. Smooth/dark highs for a high-output pickup; low end not very muddy. Primarily a bridge pickup for solid bodies.
