Description
Seymour Duncan Mark Holcomb Alpha & Omega Set Matte Black 7-String Pickup
The Mark Holcomb Alpha & Omega set captures aggressive, articulate response across both neck and bridge positions, engineered specifically for extended-range seven-string tracking and overdub sessions. Designed in collaboration with Trivium's Mark Holcomb, these high-output passive humbuckers cut through dense tunings with clarity and definition while maintaining tight low-end control in the mix. The matte black finish integrates seamlessly into modern instrument aesthetics during recording.
Tone & Output Characteristics
The neck pickup (9.56k output) delivers balanced midrange articulation for tracking chords and lead passes, while the bridge pickup (15.9k output) provides aggressive gain and pronounced treble response for high-gain tracking and layering. Ceramic magnets drive the pickup behavior toward bright, cutting tones that sit forward in dense mixes and cut through heavy production typical of modern metal and progressive recording sessions.
Electronics & Installation
4-conductor wiring on each pickup enables coil-tap and series/parallel switching options for expanded sonic flexibility across different recording takes and session requirements. The included 4-conductor shielded cable ensures noise-free signal transmission and straightforward routing during studio setup.
