Description
Seymour Duncan Jeff Loomis Blackout 7-String Pickup Set (Passive Mount, Black)
The Seymour Duncan Jeff Loomis Blackout set delivers aggressive, articulate response tailored for extended-range 7-string instruments and modern high-gain applications. Designed in collaboration with touring professionals in progressive metal and djent, these pickups combine punchy midrange attack with controlled low-end clarity, making them reliable workhorses for players who demand definition and punch on stage and in the studio.
Magnet Configuration & Output Character
The bridge humbucker employs an Alnico 5 bar magnet with steel pole pieces, engineered for high-output performance with pronounced midrange response and strong pick articulation—essential for cutting through a dense mix without muddiness. The neck pickup uses Alnico 5 rod magnets at each pole, providing balanced clarity and definition across the lower register without sacrificing sustain, so your chords and lead lines remain distinct even in drop tunings.
Construction & Installation
Both pickups feature black brushed nickel covers for a professional aesthetic while maintaining signal integrity. The passive mount configuration simplifies installation in standard 7-string cavities without requiring active circuitry or external power supplies, making this set compatible with straightforward wiring schemes and road-friendly for quick maintenance or swaps.
