SUPER DISTOR’TRON
Description: 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.
Tech Talk: Designed for the
bridge position. Uses the same ceramic magnet as the infamous Super
Distortion® to capture the same power and
dynamics.
