the old mighty mite 1300 and the dimarzio super d?

[Marshall SL12301]

These two have the same exact spec's, was wonderin if anyone has heard both in a similar guitar?
are they really the same or is it just the spec's that are
the MM 1300 was also known as the screamer

I hear them as being very similar.

Its simple really, just thinner wire and about double the turns as a paf. This, with that fat ceramic magnet, sort of gives you a 'broader' tone, as well as more gain. I think that the players who think of a DSD or MM as 'dull' or overlly 'bottom' endy, are judging this spec (13.6 is spec, my DSD reads 14.2) by hot ALNICO winds. Those will get dull and 'thubby'.

My DSD is brighter, broader and tighter as compared to my lower output paf 'knock offs', but is a little more of a 'vacuum' type closed attack. This is only (closed aspect) when comparing to alnico. Very hard to describe.

I hear a definite 'Lynch on Back For The Attack' type of ceramic bite , push and crunch on Ed's '77 era stuff (including that first album). Lynch obviously had been using the Duncan Distortion since it's inception.

I also hear a MAJOR amount of this SAME tone aspect in certain old Ace Frehley (Alive 2) and Rhoads (definately the Mr. Crowley live Picture disc, 'Mr. Crowley' (Polka dot V DSD) 'You Said it All' (Les Paul 'T-Tops) and 'Suicide Solution' (Polka dot V DSD).

Those were the 3 tunes on it and I can HEAR that same attack.

TS that definitely answered my question, i couldn't see how two pu's that use the same wire,turns,magnet would be all that different from one another, some cork sniffers will disagree with this but two DSD and MM are one in the same.
I just never got to try them both in the same guitar.
the duncan distortion is a killer for that old lynch tone without a doubt.i have one of those in a alder charvel and it screams old lynch all day!

The MM is said to have been created by Duncan as a copy of a Super Distortion, so similarities (physical, tonal, etc.) would be both intentional and expected.
