No, the Dimarzio Super Distortion is a passive pickups, which means it does not need batteries. Active pickups, such as EMGs and Seymour Duncan Blackouts do require batteries. Passive pickups get all their sound from the magnets and the coil windings. Active pickups get their sound from that as well but they have a preamp ( a set eq ) which requires power from a battery.

How to get a tone similar to Nirvana's In Utero?

In Utero's tone was achieved by the careful placement of microphones around the room, to give it a great reverb effect. Kurt used his Fender Jaguar with a Dimarzio Super Dimarzio pickup into a 135-watt Fender Twin Reverb. His effects were Boss DS-2 distortion and Electro-Harmonix Polychorus (used for Radio Friendly Unit Shifter and Scentless Apprentice).


What is the best pickup adjustments for total distortion crunch metal for the ibanez rg 120 series?

It really depends on what sound you are looking for. EMG Active pickups are great for metal but lack tone. On the other hand try perhaps Di Marzio Super Distortion. It's got great sound for Classic rock & metal with plenty of tone floating around. Or Seymore Duncan Distortion is a good pickup in a Basswood body like your ibanez. Good luck...


What is the best pick to use on electric guitar?

I like Bare Knuckle War Pig ceramics, Seymour Duncan Blackouts and the odd EMG like the passive HZs that I had on my LTD M200 (super strat) but keep in mind the type of wood your guitars pickups made out of will make or break the sound of the pickup, say if you put a evolution (dimarzio) pickup inside a Dean ML thats all mahogany it wont be what its supposed to sound like. the best piece of advice i can give you is either see what your favorite guitarist is using but avoid signature pickups or google "whats the best pickup for a alder bodied guitar metal".


Is there a bi sound switch pick-ups system on a Yamaha sg 1802 and if not is it possible to install one?

bi-switch as in coiltaps. You can put them on any guitar with pickups that have 4 wires. Which is Dimarzio , Seymour Duncan , Lundgren , Bare Knuckle ...ect pickups. To do this you need a coiltapping potentiometer or a super switch if its say two humbuckers. additional information: if you're not sure we're on the same page , coiltaps split the coils of a humbucker and make it sound like a single coil.
