Parallel Axis Distortion: a "high output" approach by Seymour Duncan
The PA-TB2B Parallel Axis Distortion is designed to deliver a modern sound with a high output level, featuring a sharp and massive personality. Thanks to its ceramic magnet and denser winding than usual, it maintains excellent clarity in the upper spectrum while pushing strongly in the lows, making it an excellent choice for tight rhythms as well as leads that need to stay present in the mix.
For which styles and guitars?
Recommended for rosewood fingerboards, this bridge pickup naturally fits into genres that require gain, impact, and good harmonic control. It is particularly comfortable in old school metal, nu-metal, gothic, garage, punk, thrash, and heavy rock. For increased versatility, it is often paired with a PA-TB1 or a PA-STK in the neck position to cover a broader spectrum ranging from thick and aggressive sounds to more nuanced textures.
