A Return to the Roots of Jeff Loomis's Sound
Before active pickups became inseparable from Jeff Loomis's sound (Nevermore, Arch Enemy, and his solo projects), his initial metal tone explorations were built around passive humbuckers discovered through 1980s guitar catalogs. The Noumenon Signature Humbuckers embody this spirit: a more "organic" response, with true touch sensitivity, to shape gain without losing nuance.
Who Is It For, and What For?
This 7-string humbucker kit is aimed at guitarists who want a pickup capable of handling heavy distortion while maintaining excellent definition on the low strings. Perfect for modern metal, precise riffing, percussive palm mutes, and leads that need to stay clear even with heavy compression from amps or pedals.
Alnico 5 on 7 Strings: Tight Lows, Precise Attack
In the Noumenon range, the 6-string version is designed with Alnico 8 magnets for powerful output, deep lows, and smooth highs. For the 7-string version of this kit, Seymour Duncan uses Alnico 5 magnets, specifically chosen to preserve tight lows and a precise attack : a key factor for maintaining control in low tunings and avoiding a "muddy" effect on the lowest notes. Regarding installation, the pickups come with baseplates featuring triangular feet to suit standard mounting as well as direct mounting on Jeff Loomis's signature guitars.
