DiMarzio Pickups for Heavy Rock/Metal

[Guitarfreak]

I am in need of a new bridge pickup and am torn between the Super Distortions and Tone Zone. Here is a sound clip that may help show what style/sound I am going for. Any advice greatly appreciated.

Thanks

I have Super Distortions in a strat bodied guitar. I put them in that guitar to push a Super Lead over the top and achieve a vintage Judas Priest sound (Stained Class and Hell Bent for Leather tone). I also have a couple of modern high gain amps, and the SDs can go out of control quickly i.e. feedback. It may take you a while to balance the gain and EQ settings, so have patience. I can't help you with the Tone Zone. I've never owned one.
