Frequently asked questions
What's the actual output difference between these two TB-5 models?
Both share 14.8k Ohm DC resistance and small ceramic bar magnets. The revZeb is described as high-output and sustain-focused, while the White is medium-output with balanced characteristics. The White will respond more naturally to moderate gain, while the revZeb is engineered for aggressive high-gain amplifiers.
Which is better for metal?
The revZeb TB-5 is explicitly optimized for metal with its thick midrange and feedback-free design, making it ideal for modern high-gain rigs. The White TB-5 works for metal too but prioritizes versatility across rock and fusion, so it's the better choice if you play multiple genres.
Do these fit all tremolo bridge guitars?
Both use Trembucker pole piece spacing for wide-spaced bridge configurations. The revZeb is designed for hard-tail and tremolo bridges, while the White specifies F-spacing for modern guitars with increased string spacing. Check your bridge spacing before purchase.
Can either be coil-split for tonal variety?
Both feature 4-conductor wiring that enables coil-split capability and flexible wiring options for expanded tonal range beyond their stock voice.
