Seymour Duncan TB-6 Duncan Distortion Trembucker Bridge Pickup — Black

The TB-6 Duncan Distortion delivers aggressive, articulate output with the clarity needed for high-gain applications and modern metal tones. This trembucker-spaced bridge pickup combines a ceramic bar magnet with a balanced EQ curve that cuts through dense mixes while maintaining string definition across the full range. Hand-built in Santa Barbara and vacuum wax potted to eliminate microphonic feedback, it performs squeal-free even at extreme gain levels.

Tone & Output Character

The TB-6 produces a midrange-focused voice with a DC resistance of 16.6 kΩ and a resonant peak at 5.5 kHz. The 5/8/9 bass/mid/treble EQ balance provides a scooped low end, pronounced midrange presence, and controlled high-end snap—ideal for modern distortion and lead work.

Design & Construction

This hand-built pickup features a ceramic bar magnet and nickel-silver bottom plate for durability and consistent magnetic field strength. The 4-conductor lead wire allows flexible wiring options, while vacuum wax potting ensures squeal-free performance in high-gain contexts.
