Description
Seymour Duncan Jeff Loomis Blackouts 7-String Bridge Pickup – Passive Mount, Black
This high-output active humbucker captures aggressive pick attack and articulate midrange response engineered specifically for extended-range 7-string guitars in the studio. The Alnico 5 bar magnet with steel pole pieces generate a powerful, focused signal that cuts through dense mixes with clarity—essential for heavy tracking where each note needs definition and presence in the final mix.
Tone & Recording Characteristics
The Jeff Loomis Blackouts voice emphasizes strong pick attack and pronounced midrange response, ensuring every recorded note registers with presence and aggression. Calibrated specifically to keep the low B string tracking clean and tight rather than muddy, this pickup maintains articulation across the entire frequency range even under high-gain conditions—critical for layering takes and post-production clarity.
Studio Installation & Compatibility
Built as an active humbucker in passive mount configuration, this bridge pickup uses a black brushed nickel cover and installs into standard passive-style routing without requiring active circuitry modifications. The 7-string bridge position voicing is engineered to handle extended-range demands with balanced response from lowest to highest strings, translating consistently across different session guitars and recording environments.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes this pickup different from standard active humbuckers?
This is an active humbucker design that uses passive mount housing, so it installs into standard passive-style routing without requiring active circuitry modifications or battery compartments. It delivers active-level output and aggression while maintaining compatibility with any existing passive setup.
Will this pickup work with my 7-string guitar, and does it handle the low B string well?
Yes, this bridge pickup is specifically calibrated for 7-string instruments and engineered to keep the low B string sounding clean and tight rather than muddy, even under high-gain conditions. The Alnico 5 bar magnet with steel pole pieces maintains articulation across the entire frequency range.
Is this pickup suitable for genres other than metal and djent?
This pickup is optimized for metal, djent, progressive, and hard rock where aggressive pick attack and pronounced midrange are desired. It is not recommended for jazz, blues, or folk styles, which typically require warmer, more nuanced voicing.
What is the physical footprint, and will it fit my guitar?
The Jeff Loomis Blackouts uses a standard humbucker footprint and passive mount housing configuration, compatible with any guitar routed for passive humbuckers. No modification to your existing routing is required.
How does this compare to other high-output extended-range pickups?
The Jeff Loomis Blackouts is comparable to the EMG 81/85, Fishman Fluence Modern, and DiMarzio D-Activator, but distinguishes itself through its emphasis on tight low-end control and articulation across dense mixes, making it particularly effective for modern heavy genres.
