The SH-6B Distortion is a powerhouse pickup – a modern classic for shredders and players who want serious bite. Its 4-wire capability gives you some tonal options, but really, it’s built for high-gain mayhem. If you’re after that searing lead tone and don’t mind a little extra noise, this is a great choice.

Product Description

Seymour Duncan SH-6B 4C Zebra, Humbucker

With high output, aggressive heights, that likely make the sound tilt into the harmonics and an enormously rich sound that does not tend to squish the lower frequencies, the Seymour Duncan Distortion is a strong lead pickup for the supporters of really distorted sounds.

Due to the 4-wire connection cable variants such as single-coil and parallel connection of the coils are possible. This way, even this "Powerhouse" elicit clear sounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

It’s genuinely usable – it produces a surprisingly clear single-coil tone, though it’s still colored by the SH-6’s inherent characteristics.
