Frequently asked questions
Do both pickups work in any 7-string guitar?
The Active requires a guitar engineered with a battery cavity and preamp circuit already installed. The Passive mounts directly into standard passive 7-string cavities without modification. Check your guitar's wiring scheme before purchasing.
Which has more output and sustain for heavy metal?
Both deliver high output for metal. The Active prioritizes signal consistency and noise rejection; the Passive emphasizes natural compression and organic sustain through passive circuitry. The difference is in feel rather than raw volume.
Can I use the Passive model if my guitar has active electronics installed?
Technically yes, but the Passive bypasses your preamp entirely and may require rewiring. The Active model is designed to integrate with your existing powered system for optimal performance.
Are these pickups Corey Beaulieu's signature spec on both versions?
Yes. Both the Active and Passive versions carry Corey B voicing optimized for Trivium's extended-range metal tone, adjusted for their respective electronics architectures.
