Jason Lollar	Re: Filter-trons VS. Gibson's PAF Filter Trons have alot more top end than typical Gibi HB's although once in a while you can find a really good 335 with really good PAF's that sound pretty good. I gig with a guy that has a gretch with filtertrons and we both use Super Reverbs, If I take my average sounding 335 he stomps on me even though the output of the filtertrons is rather low. He will cut through right over the top of my 335. A better match for me to play in that situation is a guitar with P-90's. So the filtertrons are not the typical HB sound, almost single coil like.
