Guitar hardware firm DiMarzio has just announced three new Filter’Tron-inspired pickups, and they look set to be something really special. Get the lowdown on the New’Tron, PAF’Tron, and Super Distor’Tron here!
Filter’Tron pickups have long been associated with the iconic tones of Gretsch guitars, and with this trio of new arrivals, DiMarzio is looking to cater for anyone seeking vintage tone without sacrificing modern playability.
The New’Tron is a modern take on the classic Filter’Tron, offering a dynamic, balanced tone that promises to pair beautifully with modern amps and digital modeling. The midrange growl and bite sound particularly exciting, don’t you think?
The PAF’Tron, on the other hand, packs a classic PAF formula into a Filter’Tron housing, balancing warmth and clarity in style. And then there’s the Super Distor’Tron, which promises to bring an ’80s hair metal edge to your Gretsch that sound equally cool and ridiculous – we’re sold!
If you’re after a truly versatile pickup that will handle anything from fingerstyle picking to powerful pop playing, these new arrivals are bound to catch your eye. And with the New’Tron and PAF’Tron priced at $149.99 for the bridge units, and the Super Distor’Tron coming in at the same price, they’re also refreshingly affordable.

Happy NAMM 2024!
