Seymour Duncan MortalCoil Neck Black Pickup
The MortalCoil Neck is a three-voice active humbucker system engineered to capture articulate, controlled output without sacrificing dynamic range in your recordings. This pickup combines high-density copper coils with an all-new low-distortion preamp, making it responsive to pick attack and finger dynamics while maintaining clarity across all frequency ranges. In the mix, it tracks clean chord voicings and single-note lines with precision, sitting tight in dense arrangements.
Recording & Tracking Performance
Built with high-density copper coils and a carefully voiced preamp circuit, the MortalCoil achieves low-distortion operation across its entire frequency spectrum for transparent tracking and layering. The three-voice architecture lets you shape your neck tone from warm and focused to bright and articulate within a single session, eliminating the need for pickup swaps during recording sessions.
Studio Tone & Mix Clarity
The all-new low-distortion preamp maintains signal integrity and responsiveness on tape, ensuring that articulate chord work and single-note lines both register with precision in your final mix. This pickup excels at clean tones and driven applications where definition matters—it won't collapse under gain staging and stays tight in the low end alongside bass tracks and kick drums.
