I guys, I'm back from the dead (little Halloween humor)!!  I'm over hauling my guitars again with a full size super distortion and a pair of super distortion s (different guitars) and was curious if anyone has wired them in parallel and what their results were.  I'm also glad to see my "Madness" icon is still here!!    :madness: :madness: :madness: :madness: :madness: :madness: :madness: :madness: :madness: :madness: :madness:
My first aftermarket pickup was a Super Distortion back in the 70's.  I strayed and tried Rio Grandes, Duncans, and EMGs only to come back to Dimarzio.  Funny were life takes you.

I had one installed in a 24 fret guitar in the neck position which was wired in parallel. I found it too bright that way so I added a small capacitor to ground. Volume and tone pots were 500k each.
