Frequently asked questions
Can I use these pickups together in one guitar?
Yes. The Alpha is designed for neck position and the Omega for bridge position, making them complementary. Together they provide articulate leads and aggressive rhythms across the full range of a 7-string guitar.
What is the main tonal difference between them?
The Alpha (9.56k) emphasizes defined midrange clarity and controlled treble with flexibility through coil splitting, while the Omega (15.9k) emphasizes output, punchy midrange, and tight lows for sustained aggression. The Omega's higher resistance generates noticeably more signal.
Are these suitable for standard tuning or only drop-tuned contexts?
Both are engineered for extended-range 7-string guitars and excel in drop-tuned, low contexts where their ceramic magnets resist muddiness. They function across tuning ranges but are optimized for the demands of modern metal and djent.
Do both have coil-splitting capability?
Both feature 4-conductor wiring, which enables flexible wiring configurations including series, parallel, and split options depending on your guitar's control scheme. This allows access to single-coil-type tones on either pickup.
