Re: Trembuckers compared to humbuckers?
i gotta believe that the two versions (hum/trem) of any given pickup model will have essentially the same output and tonal characteristics, with the only differences being attributable to manufacturing variances ... there is no 'intentionally designed-in" differences between trem and hum versions aside from the string spacing ...
you only select the trem version for the bridge position of a guitar with a trem bridge that results in the wider string spacing ... the only purpose is to make the strings line up over the pole pieces
hope this helps

Re: Trembuckers compared to humbuckers?
Regular trembuckers are the same as humbuckers, they are just spaced wider due to the wider spacing of tremolo bridges. Duncan makes a set of pickups with parallel axis polepieces, and those are only available as trembuckers. The PATB-3 Blues Trembucker is my favorite, I've never tried the other two.
