Seymour Duncan Duality Neck Black Pickup
The Seymour Duncan Duality neck pickup delivers a hybrid active/passive platform that bridges traditional pickup character with modern amplification control. This black uncovered bobbin design integrates an onboard active preamp for versatile tonal shaping without sacrificing the organic responsiveness that defines quality neck pickups—essential for capturing detailed, articulate recordings in the studio.
Hybrid Design & Recording Versatility
The active/passive hybrid topology allows this pickup to operate in both modes, giving engineers and producers flexibility in how they voice instruments during tracking and overdubs. The integrated active preamp provides gain and tone-shaping capabilities while maintaining the core character of a traditionally wound pickup, making it equally effective for warm jazz sessions or cutting through dense rock mixes.
Specifications & Construction
Built with an Alnico 2 magnet for balanced harmonic content and warm midrange, this pickup employs a 1C + Battery Wire cable configuration for straightforward wiring integration. Manufactured in Santa Barbara, California, each unit meets Seymour Duncan’s rigorous quality standards.
