A Pickup Developed to Meet the Demands of 7-String Guitars
The Retribution Dino C 7 was developed with Dino Cazares to provide the key combination sought after in a 7-string: definition on the low strings, clarity on pick attacks, and dynamics that stay lively under heavy saturation. The goal is simple: to maintain an open and organic sound while benefiting from the efficiency of active electronics.
For Which Guitarists and Styles?
This pickup in the neck position is aimed at guitarists who want a clear low register, tight palm-mutes, and tight riffs without muddiness, whether in modern metal, industrial, djent, or heavy low-tuned rock. It is also very suitable for leads: the output level and precision help keep notes well-defined, with a more direct response feel and better noise control than many classic active pickups.
Sound Character and Design: Precision, Punch, and Articulation
At the heart of this model is an Alnico V magnet paired with a dual coil winding for an effective balance between warmth, attack, and sustain. The Phase 2 soapbar format allows for a clean integration on guitars designed for this type of footprint. To simplify installation and ensure a complete setup, the pickup comes with a wiring diagram and necessary accessories (including a capacitor, potentiometer, and battery clip ).
