The Blacktops purportedly have ceramic magnets, vs. HS Filtertron's alnico V magnets. This may account for part of the difference in sound, particularly the percieved "harshness" of blacktops when compared to HS Filtertrons.

Please realize all I have owned were Prolines with TV Classics and HS Filters alnico. My thoughts are that these pickups are some seriously great pickups. Honestly given a regular decent amp these things are no entry level pickup and can hold there own with any pro pickup.They are very classic Filtertron and they are ballsy and loud.
Currently, the brightest humbucker pickup in the whole Creamery range. The Black bridge pickup is jangly, attacking, powerful & bright, designed to break up the amp at gain for good bite. 12 Pole screws for dialling …
Simply - the 54 and 56 series Gretsch Electromatics are by far THE best value for $$ mid priced guitars made by anyone. The blacktop filtertron pups are excellent and very versatile for all music styles. 54 and 56 series E's with blacktops are …
What I found - The Black tops had a bright top end but the mid range and bottom end was not as full or warm as the HS filtertrons. I think the HS have a more complex mid range. I'm curious as to what others think of these two pickups. Anyway I'm going to order a set of the HS Filtertrons to put in my left-handed 5420.

Drew816. No, filters and 90's as mentioned above are a different size; contact TV and he'll give you the options. That being said, depending on the guitar with a little creativitiy you can get a 90 in a Filter slot. I moded a baseplate for a P-90, setup it up to with little notches on the sides, wired it up and then you'd put the baseplate in ...
I predict the BT Broadtrons have the same short magnet in a Blacktop filtertron, and same small screws, but wound hotter. The Proline Broadtrons have a Filter-like metal cover and HS Filtertron screws. Just another guess but I bet they have tall Filtertron bar magnets and likely mimic a TV Jones Powertron Plus. Not sure of the latter two, but I ...
5,182. New Jersey. Jan 23, 2013. #12. The new Black Top FilterTrons don't impress me. They don't have that growl I like, in fact, they sound more like Dynasonics. The older ceramic FilterTrons are it, as far as I'm concerned, which is weird, because I can't stand Gibson ceramic humbuckers, which are too harsh.
L'aimant étant plus éloigné des cordes qu'avec des humbucker classiques (en raison d'une bobine plus haute), les Filter'Tron offrent le meilleur d'eux-mêmes lorsqu'ils sont réglés au plus près des cordes. TV Jones recommande de placer le micro manche à 4,7 mm des cordes et les micros chevalet à 3,9 mm des cordes.
Les blacktop, il y en a deux sortes, ceux fabriqués dans les 60's - 70's avec un aimant alnico qui ont la réputation d'être difficiles à régler, et ceux qui sont fabriqués depuis 2010 avec un aimant en céramique, qu'on trouve sur les gretsch coréennes. Le filtertron US PAT c'est pareil, des années 60 à 90 les filtertrons sont ...

Location. DELCO, PA. I'm looking at a G5220 BT as one of several possibilities for my next purchase and was wondering about the Broadtron pickups it comes with. I play classic rock/Blues so the hotter BT's seem like the better choice but I haven't had a chance to play the 5220 yet. I was at GC today and played a used G5230T with the Filtertrons ...
Soundwise, that blacktop makes my '70 Viking sound like my '09 Country Gentleman. I don't have the feeling there is much difference between the two (vintage blacktop vs. modern HS). What differences I -could- hear were more related to the differences in bracing (parallel tonebars vs waffle bracing on the Gent) and bridges (space control vs TI ...
354. Oct 13, 2018. #2. I have a Gretsch G2655 with BroadTron PUPs. I haven't played FilterTrons, but I absolutely love the sound of my Gretsch. It is a humbucker, but has a unique character to it. A bit of bite or growl. To my ear and for my needs, they are the best humbuckers I've tried. Playing though an AC15.
Filtertrons are Gretsch's own humbuckers, designed by Ray Butts for Chet Atkins. The patent on them was granted later, but the prototypes seem to predate Gibson's humbuckers. Typically, they're fairly low output, around 4 to 5K, and brighter than a PAF type humbucker, much thinner than a typical fat Gibson humbucker.
The ring mount is designed to house the Filtertron pickup and slot into your guitar's pickup cavity. For example, if your guitar originally housed a P90 or PAF Humbucker, you will need to purchase the correct ring mount to slot into the pickup cavity and accommodate the Filtertron. If your guitar has single-coil pickups, skip to option number 3.
Oct 11, 2009. Location: Hogtown. Nope, haven't fiddled with the heights, but will try: the guitar has been given a pro setup set up and the heights look to be in the right ball park, but a little tweaking won't hurt. I used to own the 3-pickup electromatic, center-block version of this guitar. It had Hilotrons in it.

Neck Pickup 3/16-7/32 on bass side and 3/16 on treble side. Bridge Pickup 5/32 on both bass and treble sides. They also mention that these are a good starting point and that adjustments may be different due to string gauge, playing style or amplification. Works for me and I didn't touch the pole heights.

**Comes as set. If only wanting bridge or neck pickup individually, message me and we maybe can swing a deal!These pickups work great. I upgraded to TV Jones in my Electromatic Jet so I don't have a need for these any longer. They were used for maybe 6 hours total. No significant scratches whatso...

The hook-up wire was simply clipped to the pickup. Filter'Trons also use a magnet that is nearly twice as large as a traditional PAF magnet. The bobbins are also taller than PAF bobbins, which contributes to brighter tone. …
The HS FT, the BT FT, the DC SHT are the same building quality. The HS FT = High Sensivity FilterTron, is the classic FilterTron that you find on most Pro Line Gretsch. The BT FT = Black Top FilterTron, is a slightly more "PAF-Gibson-ey" version of the HS FT, but still retaining the Gretsch character.
Electromatic. Dec 4, 2014. 64. Middle of WV. Feb 18, 2015. #1. The Blacktop Filtertrons are a nice "Gretschy" sounding pickup. What are you all finding works well for pickup/polepiece height? I'm (of course) after Gretsch jangle & clarity but with maximum oomph and sustain too without causing string pull (How bad are these for string pull if ...
FilterTron. He was out of stock, of course! So, I decided to use the 2nd 1/8 Alnico V from my Streamliner BroadTron pups (gathering dust) and stack them with the existing magnet in Blacktop to "make" a 1/4 inch Alnico V. Stacking the magnets was not that difficult. The hardest part was getting the pup cover separated from the baseplate of the ...
Clear, a lot less muddy than "regular" humbuckers IMHO, great note definition, even when overdriven. I love them! Note that Filtertrons are slightly narrower than humbuckers or Blacktp Broadtrons, so you'll need different mounting rings. TV Jones (and others) sell them. $60 is a great price for the pair. I say go for it!

Toronto. Jun 4, 2019. #3. Hi Conan—welcome to the forum! Most of the 54xx series guitars come with Blacktop Filtertrons. There are a few exceptions: some models released in the last year or two come with a new pickup called the Blacktop Broadtron, which looks similar but is the size of a regular humbucker. The Broadtrons have a darker sound ...
