Seymour Duncan Psyclone Hot, Bridge, Nickel Cover Pickup

Seymour Duncan Psyclone Hot, Bridge, Nickel Cover Pickup

The Psyclone Hot delivers aggressive, articulate output with tight low-end response and pronounced midrange punch—a bridge pickup engineered for hard rock, metal, and high-gain applications. Its Alnico V magnet and elevated output produce cutting lead tones and responsive rhythm attack without losing note definition even at saturation. Handmade in Santa Barbara, this is a no-compromise upgrade for players demanding maximum clarity and aggression from their bridge position.

Tone & Output Character

With high output and a 12.29k DCR, the Psyclone Hot pushes amplifiers into natural overdrive while maintaining pick dynamics and harmonic complexity. The Alnico V magnet focuses midrange aggression and snap, making this pickup ideal for cutting through dense stage mixes and delivering precise articulation on lead lines during live performances.

Design & Installation

The pickup features a nickel cover that reduces magnetic flux slightly for a refined treble character compared to uncovered designs. Its Filter Tron mount type ensures straightforward installation into compatible 6-string guitar cavities, while the 2-conductor, single conductor lead wire configuration provides standard wiring flexibility for coil-split or series/parallel switching options.
