Description
Seymour Duncan Jeff Loomis Noumenon 7-String Pickup Set – Matte Black
The Seymour Duncan Loomis Noumenon is a signature 7-string humbucker set engineered for extended-range metal and progressive rock applications. Handcrafted in Santa Barbara by Seymour Duncan's team, these pickups deliver the aggression and clarity Jeff Loomis demands from his instruments. The set combines high output muscle with articulate definition across all seven strings—built for gigging musicians and session players who need reliable, cutting tone night after night.
Tone & Electronics
The Alnico 5 magnet structure produces a balanced response with strong midrange presence and extended treble clarity—essential for cutting through dense arrangements on a 7-string platform and translating well to live PA systems. The 15.98k DCR bridge pickup generates substantial output for aggressive lead work and rhythm tones with road-tested reliability, while the 9.38k DCR neck pickup remains responsive and articulate for cleaner passages and harmonic content that sits tight in a mix.
Design & Build
Both pickups ship with a 4-conductor shielded cable for flexible wiring configurations and noise rejection—critical for touring and venue stability. The triangular feet bottom plates mount to standard humbucker routes, ensuring straightforward installation in most 7-string platforms without fuss between gigs. The matte black finish complements modern instrument aesthetics while the passive humbucker design requires no batteries or active circuitry, meaning zero downtime worries on the road.
