Description
Seymour Duncan Psyclone Vintage Gold Cover Pickup Set
The Seymour Duncan Psyclone Vintage set delivers authentic Filter'Tron character with refined hum-cancelling performance—perfect for stage use where a clean, noise-free signal matters. This pairing balances the neck pickup's period-correct warmth against a slightly hotter bridge pickup, creating responsive articulation that cuts through a live mix without feedback or hum issues. Handmade in Santa Barbara, these pickups drop directly into Filter'Tron routing and accept both direct mounting and pickup-ring configurations.
Design & Construction
Built with a hum-cancelling architecture and single conductor lead wire for straightforward installation, the Psyclone Vintage maintains the visual authenticity of the gold cover finish while eliminating the 60-cycle hum inherent to vintage designs. The set functions as a direct drop-in replacement for Filter'Tron style routing, accommodating both direct mounting and pickup-ring setups with included hardware—reliable and road-ready without modification.
Tone & Character
The neck pickup is engineered to recreate the original Filter'Tron specification from the 1950s, delivering woody fundamentals and articulate midrange that sits well in a band context. The bridge pickup receives a slightly hotter wind for increased output and snap, ensuring balanced response across both positions so you can dial in your tone and trust it under the lights.
