TONE SAMPLES
Welcome, friend. You are clearly one of us, someone who cares about great guitar tone. This page is your personal tone sample library, a place to hear every one of our pickups in action.
We put together demo videos for our humbucker models, played by guitar players in different contexts, so you can get a feel for how each set responds, reacts, and inspires. No demo is perfect for everyone, but we hope you feel inspired by the potential of having Lambertones in your own guitar.
humbuckers
Our humbucker sets are designed to give you complete control of your tone, regardless of the genre. We make three full-sized humbucker models: The Crema, the Grinder, and the Red Eye in addition to a true vintage-sized Filter'Tron-style model: The Lamber'Tron.
Each cut through the mix in their own unique way.
Clear | Crisp | Quiet
the crema
The Crema produces detailed highs and an unparalleled single coil-like clarity. It was designed specifically with the Worship/CCM guitarist in mind, driving effect pedals extremely well. If you're looking for a dynamic PAF-style pickup on the edge of crisp drive tones, look no further!
"Cremas give you the warm and fullness of PAF humbuckers without the muddled tone. They provide amble clarity in tone, great with cutting through the mix." - Aaron S.
"I bought a set of Cremas to throw in my strat and I could not be happier with the outcome! Unbelievable tones and amazing dynamics, I absolutely recommend this brand to anyone in the market for new pickups of any style!" - Luke P.
Punchy | Articulate | Compressed
the grinder
The Grinder is 10% higher output than our Crema model, and has been compared to a vintage PAF with a modern flare. The Grinder sits at the edge of breakup, with a subtle compression sag when dug into, yet still maintaining incredible note articulation. No dark muddy mids, lost lows, or piercing highs.
Thick | Sensitive | Raw
the red eye
Designed with enhanced midrange, tight low end, and a smooth top-end response, the Red Eye thrives in high-gain environments while staying articulate and dynamic — even with heavy effects chains or digital modeling rigs.
"I have never played a set of humbuckers with an ability to get such grit yet still maintain the dynamics of individual notes. Now my “go to” guitar." - Jack K.
"Beautiful sounding Humbckers. Very quiet when not in use. Great tone. I am very happy with them!" - Angelo A.
Articulate | dynamic | full-range
the lamber'tron
The Lamber'Tron is a true vintage-size replacement for Filter’Tron-style pickups — engineered to bring balance, clarity, and dynamic range back to your Gretsch or other Filter’Tron-equipped guitars.

"I have had a few weeks now to play through my new Lambertrons that were installed on a stock Gretsch Electromatic. It is like having a new guitar. Expressive, full, and clean. Thank you so much for the great pickups and overall experience!" - Dan B.
I love these LamberTrons! They’re gritty and warm yet have the voice to cut through as well! They greatly exceed my hopes! My favorite guitar now! - Justin R.
