How low can the DiMarzio Super Distortion® DP100 go?

I suppose there are pickups that take down drop-tuning better than the Super Distortions. How low can they go without getting muddy? Definitely they struggle with B standard. D? Thanks!

Hey Brother Man, you have the guitar with a Super Distortion, why dont you tune it down and see what works for you with your setup? I have used a Super Distortion down to A Standard and liked it but it may not be your preference. Just give it a shot :metal:

Absolutely depends on the guitar. My favourite pickup (most of the time) is the Seymour Duncan Distortion, but after putting one in my RGT (tuned to drop B) it sounded like dogshit. I tried several other pickups in there, and by far the best sounding one (and the one that's still in there) is the JB - a pickup people generally dissociate with downtuning. If it works, it works.
