Frequently Asked Questions
The TB-4 is specifically designed to combat the ‘magnetic pull’ of Floyd Rose tremolos, resulting in more stable tuning and a tighter feel; it also generally has a higher output than many standard models.
It *can*, but you might experience increased string pull and tuning instability. It’s best suited for Floyd Rose systems or hardtails, but can be used with caution on other tremolo types.
It's versatile enough for recording, but its high output means you’ll likely need to dial back your amp or interface gain. It’s great for driving amp sims and creating powerful, modern tones.
