Seymour Duncan - Jeff Loomis Blackouts Active Mount 7-String Bridge Pickup Black

Jeff Loomis uses his bridge pickup for a lot of different sounds: speed-picked solos, liquid legato licks and aggressive rhythms. He needs a pickup that stays clear under heavy distortion and is able to faithfully reproduce every nuance of his right-hand picking and left-hand phrasing choices. This high-output active humbucker is designed with an Alnico 5 bar magnet and steel pole pieces, and is voiced with a strong pick attack and a pronounced midrange response that allows the pickup to track fast playing very accurately, without sounding thin. The low end is focused to keep the low B string sounding clean and tight.

Jeff tested this pickup extensively on the road with Arch Enemy. Alongside its 6-string counterpart, the 7-string model has been painstakingly calibrated to handle the extended low range of his signature Schecter guitars while retaining the tone and punch that give the pickup its voice.
