Frequently asked questions
Can I use either version with nickel or gold-covered Trembuckers?
No. Both the TB black and TB Cr versions explicitly state that nickel- and gold-covered Trembuckers are not compatible due to housing geometry constraints.
What wiring modes does each version support?
Both units provide access to series, parallel, and split-coil configurations via two onboard switches, offering identical tonal flexibility regardless of finish.
Which version fits in a tighter pickup cavity?
The TB Cr chrome version has a smaller overall footprint (2.78 × 1.47 inches inside) and is explicitly designed for extended-range and space-constrained builds, making it the better choice for guitars with tight cavities.
Do both work with standard 4-conductor humbuckers?
Yes. Both versions are compatible with virtually any humbucker or Trembucker equipped with a 4-conductor cable, making installation straightforward on most guitars.
