A Blackouts "Retribution" crafted for stage and studio
Part of the Seymour Duncan Blackouts lineage, the DINO-B2-7STR "Dino C 7 PH2" is a bridge pickup developed around Dino Cazares' needs: more headroom before saturation, a sharper attack, and more stable string response when gain levels rise. The goal is simple: maintain a massive sound without becoming muddy, even on fast riffs and very low tunings.
For whom and for what
This active humbucker is aimed at 7-string guitarists who want a bridge pickup capable of handling heavy distortion without losing articulation. It excels in metal, aggressive rock, tight rhythms, djent, and all situations where attack precision and low-end retention make the difference. Ideal if you're looking for a pickup that "cuts" through the mix while remaining dense.
Active preamp, reduced noise, and more defined response
The active design of this model emphasizes a dynamic response and controlled noise level, with a preamp calibrated to retain clarity and presence. In the bridge position, the magnet and voicing are designed to deliver firm lows, effective mids, and precise highs, to better control distortion and limit unwanted compression. The 4-conductor wiring facilitates modern setups (including coil split, depending on electronics and chosen wiring scheme).
