The Super Distor’Tron offers the performance of the infamous Super
Distortion in a Gretsch Filter’tron-style package. We've built in the
same blend of power and tone that has made the original Super
Distortion® the worldwide standard for high-output humbuckers for over
50 years.
The Super Distortion started a sound revolution.
Replacement pickups simply didn’t exist before the invention of the
Super Distortion in the early 70s. The Super Distortion was the first
pickup specifically designed to kick a tube amp into total overdrive
and is still the standard by which all other high-output pickups are
measured. The Super Distortion has a perfect blend of power and tone:
both single-notes and chords jump out of the amp and fill the room (or
the track) with a wall of sound. The balance of tones is classic -
thick, boosted mids, big lows and fat highs. This is the sound you’ve
heard for over five decades on platinum records, from players as varied
as Ace Frehley, Al Di Meola, Phil Collen, Tom Scholz, and Paul
Gilbert. It’s also versatile: 4-conductor wiring allows instant access
to Strat-like split and series-parallel modes. Discover what thousands
of great players know: the Super Distortion is the best all ’round
high-power pickup ever made.
The Super Distor'Tron includes optional mounting hardware for humbucker mounting applications. (see second image)
