Description
Seymour Duncan Pegasus TB Matte Black Pickup
The Seymour Duncan Pegasus TB is engineered to cut through dense mixes with muscular articulation and impressive sustain, delivering clarity across the frequency spectrum. This Trembucker bridge pickup captures defined attack while maintaining smooth harmonic content, making it equally effective for high-gain tracking and moderate-drive sessions. Hand-built in Santa Barbara with meticulous attention to detail, this pickup translates both aggressive and nuanced playing styles with precision into your recording chain.
Tone & Electronics
Built on an Alnico 5 bar magnet with 12.7k ohms DC resistance, the Pegasus TB achieves a moderate output level with a balanced EQ profile: 5 (bass), 7 (middle), 6 (treble). This tuning emphasizes midrange presence while maintaining controlled low-end and articulate highs—ideal for achieving definition in the mix without excess mud or harshness. The vacuum wax potted construction eliminates microphonic feedback, ensuring squeal-free performance even when tracking at volume or stacking gain stages.
Design & Build
Trembucker spacing accommodates 6, 7, and 8-string guitar configurations, with a nickel silver bottom plate that contributes to tonal clarity and structural integrity. The 4-conductor shielded lead wire (14" length) enables multiple wiring options for series, parallel, and split configurations, expanding your palette during sessions and supporting different mix requirements across projects.

Frequently Asked Questions
What 6-string, 7-string, and 8-string guitars is this compatible with?
The Pegasus TB features Trembucker spacing, which is the wider bridge-pickup spacing found on 7 and 8-string guitars; it also accommodates standard 6-string Trembucker routes. Confirm your guitar's bridge-pickup cavity spacing before ordering—Trembucker is wider than standard single-coil spacing.
What's the output level and will it work with my amp at bedroom and stage volumes?
At 12.7k ohms DC resistance, the Pegasus TB delivers moderate output with tight, articulate response suited to both high-gain and moderate-drive amplifiers. This level works well across a range of gain settings without excessive compression, making it suitable for bedroom play and live venues.
Does this pickup eliminate feedback at high volumes?
Yes—the Pegasus TB uses vacuum wax potted construction to eliminate microphonic feedback and squealing, even when running at volume. This design ensures stable, noise-free performance in both studio and live settings.
What genres and playing styles is this pickup designed for?
The Pegasus TB excels in metal, hard rock, progressive, and drop-tuning applications. Its articulate attack and midrange presence suit aggressive playing, but it also rewards nuanced, controlled technique—making it versatile for both rhythm and lead work.
What wiring options does the 4-conductor lead wire support?
The 4-conductor shielded lead wire (14 inches long) enables series, parallel, and split wiring configurations, giving you flexibility to shape your signal path and tonal response based on your switching scheme and preferences.
