whats the difference? besides the pole pieces.

The Trembucker is hotter I believe.Everything in this post is the sole opinion of the author. The author makes no claims that his word is final, only that the opinions expressed are those of the author and any similiarities to the opinions of others is purely coincidental. -
Re: Distortion Trembucker and Trem spaced Distortion?
why bother making 2 pups though? or do they sound different?Comment

Re: Distortion Trembucker and Trem spaced Distortion?
i thought trembucker just meant trem-spaced...?Comment

Re: Distortion Trembucker and Trem spaced Distortion?
look at the Humbucker section on the main site. I'm talking about 2 different pickups.Comment

Re: Distortion Trembucker and Trem spaced Distortion?
I was just checking that out. Am I seeing that right?
The Distortion Trembucker is 21.3k with a ceramic magnet!
Thats like 25% hotter than a Dimebucker even. Yowssa!
Edit: Hmmm . . . wouldn't that make a killer rockin' machine . . .

Re: Distortion Trembucker and Trem spaced Distortion?
that would be a sweet combo!Comment

Re: Distortion Trembucker and Trem spaced Distortion?
The SH-6b Duncan Distortion and the TB-6 Duncan Distortion Trembucker are the same pickup, just different spacings. The PA-TB2 Distortion Trembucker is a completely different pickup. If you take a look at the pictures you will see one of the differences...the pole pieces. The PA-TB2 is hotter and wound to just over 21.3k while the SH-6 and TB-6 are wound to 16.6k. Hope that clears things up a little bit.Comment

In this case, the DC resistance is misleading. The Invader (16.8?) is hotter than the PATB2. Check the chart & soundclips.Originally posted by ArtieTooI was just checking that out. Am I seeing that right?

Hey, Jessica... you mentioned awhile back that Michael Amott uses a JB/59 & a boost pedal... is it the Duncan clean boost?“I can play the hell out of a riff. The rest of it’s all bulls**t anyway,” Gary HoltComment

yeah, thats the parallel axis one you guys are talkin about.....not a regular trembuckerOriginally posted by AcemanComment

I know they are different pickups but what is the sound difference between the 2?Originally posted by JessicaComment

Re: Distortion Trembucker and Trem spaced Distortion?
Not exactly misleading. Only misleading if you make the mistake of equating DC resistance directly to output. Here's the deal - as you increase the number of winds, you increase DC resistance, which generally, will also increase the voltage output. But not necessarily the percieved output. Thats because the greater number of windings also increases the inductance, which decreases high-frequency content.Originally posted by JB_From_Hell
A capacitor passes high frequencies, an inductor low frequencies. We use a capacitor to shunt highs to ground. Or, we can use an inductor to block them. So, as we add windings, we're sort of "tilting" the frequency response - more towards the bass, and less of the treble.
All these factors work together, or against each other, to shape the character of the pup. I'd still like to hear one.
