A Return to the Roots of Jeff Loomis's Metal Sound
Before becoming synonymous with a modern sound featuring active pickups, Jeff Loomis crafted his initial metal textures with passive humbuckers, selected from guitar catalogs at the time. The Noumenon Signature kit pays tribute to this period and highlights what makes a good passive pickup strong: touch response, attack nuance, and direct interaction with the guitar's volume control.
Who It's For and Intended Use
This set is aimed at metal guitarists (rhythm and lead) who want a powerful output without losing note clarity, precision in palm-muting, and gain control through playing dynamics and instrument settings. Ideal for low tunings, fast riffs, and articulate solos, on 6- or 7-string guitars depending on the version.
Design Adapted for 6- and 7-String Guitars
The 6-string set uses Alnico 8 magnets to deliver powerful output and deep lows while maintaining smooth highs to avoid harsh brightness under heavy distortion. The 7-string set employs Alnico 5 magnets, chosen to keep tight lows and precise attack, especially useful when the low string demands impeccable sustain and consistent definition. For installation, the Noumenon Signature Jeff Loomis humbuckers come with base plates featuring triangular legs, suitable for standard mounting and direct installation on Jeff's signature guitars.
