Seymour Duncan alt.metal Blackouts 7-String ActMt Pickup Set

Seymour Duncan alt.metal Blackouts 7-String ActMt Pickup Set

The Seymour Duncan alt.metal Blackouts 7-String ActMt delivers aggressive, articulate response across extended-range tunings with the stability of active electronics and hand-built Santa Barbara craftsmanship. These pickups excel at high-gain applications where clarity and note separation matter—drop tunings stay tight, and individual strings cut through the mix without mud or compression artifacts. Built for modern metal, djent, and heavy alternative styles, this set brings professional-grade output and consistency to 7-string instruments.

Tone & Electronics

The combination of ceramic bridge magnet and Alnico 5 neck magnet creates an asymmetrical response that pushes aggression in the bridge position while maintaining articulation and touch sensitivity on the neck. Active circuitry powered by a single 9V battery ensures stable output impedance, reduced noise floor, and consistent gain across the entire pickup range—critical for thick, modern tones that refuse to soften or thin out during extended sets or studio tracking.

Installation & Road Reliability

The active soapbar mount integrates seamlessly into 7-string instruments designed for active electronics, while comprehensive included hardware—potentiometers, quick-connector cables, capacitor, output jack, battery clip, and connecting wire—provides everything needed for installation. Each set is hand-built in Santa Barbara, California, meaning you get the same attention to detail and consistency that professionals depend on night after night.
