Description
Seymour Duncan Corey B Blackout Set 7-string Active Mount Pickup
The Corey B Blackout 7-string set captures articulate, controlled aggression tailored for extended-range tracking and high-gain recording sessions. These active humbuckers respond dynamically across the full seven-string range, maintaining clarity and definition even at extreme volumes and gain staging. Built for engineers and producers tracking modern metal and djent, this set combines handcrafted quality with professional-grade active electronics that sit tight in dense mixes.
Pickup Configuration & Magnet Design
The set pairs an Alnico 5 magnet in the neck position with a ceramic magnet in the bridge, providing balanced output and tonal separation across positions. This magnet pairing delivers responsive lows and controlled highs—essential for capturing articulate complex chord voicings and fast lead layers on a seven-string instrument during recording and overdubbing.
Active Electronics & Installation
An integrated active preamp with high gain and dynamic response shapes your signal at the source, reducing noise while preserving playing dynamics and tracking nuance. The complete system includes all necessary components for installation: potentiometers, hardware, quick-connector cables, capacitor, output jack, battery clip, and installation wire—everything needed for efficient studio setup and rapid session changeovers.
