Description
Seymour Duncan Psyclone Hot, Gold Cover, SET Pickup
The Psyclone Hot delivers aggressive output with a balanced hum-cancelling design that cuts through on stage without sacrificing articulation. This set pairs a lower-output neck pickup with a hotter bridge pickup, giving you responsive dynamics across the fretboard while maintaining clarity in high-gain live settings. The distinctive gold cover adds visual character while the handmade construction ensures consistent performance night after night.
Tone & Output
With an output DCR of 12.29 and Alnico 5 magnets, these pickups deliver punchy midrange and defined highs suited to hard rock and metal applications. The hum-cancelling design eliminates 60-cycle noise without requiring dual-coil construction, maintaining the single-coil responsiveness players expect from the Psyclone line—crucial for gigging musicians who need reliability under touring conditions.
Construction & Installation
Both direct-mount and pickup-ring mounting options provide flexibility for various guitar platforms. The 1C shielded cable and single-conductor lead wire ensure clean signal transfer with minimal interference, while handmade construction in Santa Barbara, CA guarantees attention to detail in every set for dependable road performance.
