Description
The Seymour Duncan MortalCoil 7-String Active Humbucker Set is a next-generation active pickup system engineered specifically for extended-range players demanding uncompromising precision, crushing low-end response, and exceptional tonal versatility.
Designed from the ground up for modern metal and progressive styles, MortalCoil combines three distinct pickup voices into one advanced active platform: the aggressive MC1 modern metal voice, authentic JB/Jazz-inspired humbucker tones, and a powerful single-coil mode for expanded sonic flexibility. Whether delivering ultra-tight rhythm tones, expressive leads, or articulate cleans, MortalCoil maintains exceptional clarity and note separation even under extreme gain and low tunings.
Built using precision-wound high-density copper coils and Seymour Duncan’s latest low-distortion active preamp technology, the MortalCoil set delivers faster transient response, enhanced pick attack, and dynamic feel across all playing styles.
