The Parallel Axis Distortion high output passive humbucker pickup, with its dual pole design, provides a searing, saturated bridge tone that’s great for all styles of heavy rock and metal.

This unique Trembucker (F-spaced) pickup combines our dual-pole design, a powerful ceramic magnet, and over-wound coils for a huge, screaming tone with a clear, articulate high-end and plenty of grind on the bottom. Chords will have a thick, saturated edginess, and leads will jump out with over-the-top midrange harmonics. The Parallel Axis Distortion is often paired with a PA-TB1n Original Parallel Axis Trembucker or PA-STK1n Parallel Axis Stack in the neck position for versatility. Like all Trembuckers, the Parallel Axis Distortion has a wider pole piece spacing, perfect for symmetrical positioning under the strings of guitars with a tremolo or wide spaced hard tail bridge (2 or wider from the center of the Low E to High E directly over the bridge pickup). Hand made in Santa Barbara, CA, the Parallel Axis Distortion high output passive humbucker pickup uses our unique dual-pole design for added sustain, a large ceramic bar magnet, 4-conductor wire for multiple wiring options, and is vacuum wax potted for squeal free operation.
