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-around high-power pickup ever made.

The Super Distor'Tron™ includes optional mounting hardware for humbucker mounting applications.

My favorite pickups or all time are the Super Distortion, Super 3, Tone Zone, Air Zone, X2N, and Norton. I love what DiMarzio have done with the Filtertron form factor and bringing the Super Distortion into this format was brilliant.

Thats nasty… ❤ I just picked up a PAF 36th and it has become my favorite pickup I’ve ever purchased from dimarzio.

[Viper_]

[patrickkem]

Think the idea was great! And they sound amazing

[tymanngruter]

"So how did you become the wealthiest man in Harlem, Tron?" "Hot hand in the dice game baby girl'" - man simply known as TRON

[gscgold]

Allegedly, I can't really confirm this, but from what people say, Randy Rhoads polka dot v had super distortions

[MrScrofulous]

This would be the perfect mod to spice up the low output pups in the Gretsch baritone.

[BoyAditya]

LOL never seen someone shred so hard on Gretsch guitar

[GuitarDave]

Hey brother! As you already know, I recently put a super distortion in my charvel dk 24 and I love it!! But damn you make it sound great!

[philippgrunert]

Since a while I am thinking that the Filter'tron actually is the better humbucking design. I this just a Super Distortion in a Filter'tron format or is it actually a Filter'tron design tuned to super distortion specs? Or is teh difference between both rather minor?

[yobelaji]

Now I’m curious on that NewTron pups 🔥

[wzardfh]

Did you use the original Gretsch pots? I'm thinking of getting these for my electromatic.

[joshjenkins]

I want to know does the Super distortion or the pad in the bridge sound better for EVH

[transparent]

3.15 is that symphony x/michael romeo?, ,

[kirkgreenman]

I know, I just dint see any w block inlay thats all. They seem to have dot inlay. The pickups sound killer

[kimtruong]

great playing, also I’m looking for a guitar, and I’m considering an Evh, any tips?

[DomingoMolina]

Hi Cameron! I love the sound you get out of these pickups. One question about them because I can't find much info: are they both the f-spaced version? Thanks.

[mufasa]

Can they be installed in a gretsch baritone?
