Seymour Duncan Psyclone Vintage, Bridge, Nickel Cover Pickup
The Seymour Duncan Psyclone Vintage bridge pickup captures articulate, vintage-voiced clarity with natural harmonic complexity that translates well across classic and contemporary recordings. Built on a Filter-Tron platform, this pickup responds dynamically to pick attack and playing dynamics while maintaining tight, controlled low-end definition that sits clearly in a mix without muddying other instruments.
Tone & Electronics
With a 5.32k ohms DC resistance and Alnico 5 magnet, this pickup generates a balanced, vintage output character that retains note separation and sustain without sacrificing harmonic richness. The hum-canceling design effectively eliminates 50/60 Hz noise while preserving the organic resonance expected from a premium bridge-position humbucker, making it reliable for tracking and layering in the studio.
Design & Construction
Handcrafted in Santa Barbara, CA, this 6-string pickup features a nickel cover and single conductor shielded cable for clean signal transmission and minimal noise interference during recording sessions. The Filter-Tron style routing accommodates both direct mount and ring mounting configurations, offering flexible installation options across various guitar platforms used in professional and home studio setups.
