Frequently asked questions
Which pickup is darker or brighter?
The TB-10 is brighter and more aggressive, with a 5.5 kHz peak and 4/4/8 EQ voicing. The TB-11 is slightly warmer and more controlled, with a 5.2 kHz peak and 3/7/7 EQ voicing that pulls back treble slightly.
Are both trembuckers suitable for standard bridge positions?
The TB-10 is specifically designed for wide-spaced tremolo systems. The TB-11 is described as F-spaced for humbucker-spaced bridge positions, making it more versatile for standard bridge setups.
How do the magnets differ and what does that mean tonally?
The TB-10 uses Alnico 5, which delivers higher output and tighter, more articulate sustain ideal for heavy aggression. The TB-11 uses Alnico II, which provides warmer, more musical sustain and slightly smoother response on sustained notes.
Which is better for studio versus live performance?
Both are suitable for both contexts. The TB-10 excels in dense live mixes demanding maximum cut. The TB-11 offers more versatility in studio settings where warmth and note definition matter equally, though it also performs well live.
