Seymour Duncan TB-6 Duncan Distortion Trmbkr Zebra Pickup

Seymour Duncan TB-6 Duncan Distortion Trembucker Zebra Pickup

The TB-6 Duncan Distortion delivers aggressive, articulate high-output tones with a tight low-end and explosive midrange punch. Built as a trembucker for proper string spacing on wide-spaced bridge posts, this ceramic-magnet design excels in heavy rock, metal, and high-gain applications where clarity matters as much as saturation. On stage, it cuts through the mix and holds definition even when the amp is pushed hard.

Tone & Output Character

A 17.4K DC resistance and large ceramic bar magnet generate substantial output without sacrificing note definition. The 5.5 kHz resonant peak emphasizes the midrange aggression that makes this pickup cut through dense mixes and maintain articulation even at extreme gain levels. Players running thick, compressed tones get clarity where it counts most.

Construction & Reliability

Hand-built in Santa Barbara, CA, this pickup features a nickel-silver bottom plate and vacuum wax potting for superior shielding and longevity. The four-conductor wiring enables flexible coil-split and series/parallel switching options for tonal versatility beyond standard humbucker operation. Road-tested construction means it performs night after night.
