Seymour Duncan Corey B Blackout Neck 7-String Passive Mount Pickup
The Corey B Blackout neck pickup delivers articulate, controlled output with tight low-end response ideal for recording and tracking 7-string guitars. Designed in collaboration with Whitechapel's Corey Beaulieu, this pickup excels in both high-gain and moderate-gain sessions where clarity and note definition are essential for capturing usable takes. The passive mount configuration integrates seamlessly into existing 7-string instruments without requiring active electronics, simplifying your recording chain and signal flow.
Recording Character & Mix Placement
This pickup produces a focused, mid-forward frequency response that sits intelligently in dense guitar mixes while maintaining tight articulation on complex chord voicings during overdubs and layering sessions. The output level sits in the moderate-to-hot range, delivering substantial signal to your preamp or interface without excessive compression or frequency masking, allowing you to capture punchy, definition-rich recordings in post-production.
Construction & Studio Integration
The passive mount design means no battery, no preamp circuit, and no active electronics—just direct coil-to-jack signal path. This configuration preserves natural pickup dynamics essential for recording and allows straightforward installation into any 7-string guitar with standard neck position routing, minimizing downtime between sessions.
