Jeff Loomis Unveils His Noumenon™ Signature Pickup Set

- Jeff Loomis highlights the powerful sound of his Noumenon™ Signature Humbucker Pickup Set, combining the dynamic range of passive humbuckers with modern metal power. Available now on Seymour Duncan's website:
www.seymourduncan.com/single-...
Before active pickups like his signature Blackouts® became synonymous with Jeff Loomis’ sound in Nevermore, Arch Enemy and his solo work, Jeff’s foundational experiences in sculpting his highly influential metal tone were forged by passive humbuckers, bought from guitar catalogues in the 1980s. The Noumenon™ Signature Humbuckers call back to those formidable years, as Jeff wanted an option to achieve the dynamics and control that passive pickups offer.
The 6-string Noumenon™ set is built with Alnico 8 magnets, providing high output and thick bass, while maintaining a smooth treble response. The 7-string set is built with Alnico 5 magnets, necessary for maintaining tight low end and sharp attack. All Jeff Loomis Noumenon™ Signature Humbuckers are available with triangular feet bottom plates for standard humbucker routes and direct mounting in Jeff’s signature guitars.

I love that Jeff played Conquering Dystopia material ❤
Yeah man, I think I have to go revisit that album :)
@@MercutioUK2006 By pure coincidence I'm listening to it again these days, good tech metal work!
@@alessioturturiello Also digging Zero Order Phase, he's such a great player.
Fuck yeah! 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
I like how those songs have become a benchmark for Duncan metal playing lol
Jeff sounds so much better with passive pickups.
What a great set.
I thought with 707 and ENGL Powerball first one he sounded the most brutal possible. :) This has more mid material and crunch, but previous was extremely mean and heavy machinery. :)
Placebo
@@DadoSimicStudiostriver I agree
EVERYONE does
@Lenser First and foremost they're trying to sell a product. That being said, he still seems genuine about his opinion on this set. In the video he even states he prefers active for recording. Will these be his go to? Probably not. I personally prefer passive pick ups, so I'm definitely willing to give these a try. Placebo though? I think not lol
I looooove the name is a callback to Nevermore. Always been a massive fan of his work in all his bands but Nevermore was special.
Jeff Loomis + Seymour Duncan + Jackson guitars - what more can you ask for?
NOPE...Loomis is EMG707 + ENGL POWERBALL ..GIGAN MONSTER TONE🔥🤘🏻
Engl fireball 100W 🔥
Jeff = Schecter to me. But I like Jacksons better. Especially a decent 7 string Kelly.
You know what's cooler and more kick ass than his playing? He is actually one of the nicest musicians you can meet!! He's one of us, that was fortunate enough to make it!!! This gentleman is a musicians musician!!!
I miss Nevermore… also, Jeff's Miles of the Machine is my fave. It's great to know that He was also inspired by the Maestro Yngwie Malmsteen and EVH. Those are the best. Cheers.🤘
Noumenon is a criminally underrated track on Enemies of Reality. That whole album in very underrated overall, a shame it went through production and label hell and didn't survive as well as it deserved to
I agree - That remaster is beautiful though!
I see Jeff Loomis i click like!
Met Jeff when he toured with conquering dystopia in 2015 and he’s the nicest guy. He deserves ALL of the pickups.
Imagine Vog and Loomis writing a album together.
Or with Wes Hauch!
Why not all 3? Vogg has probably the most effortless looking picking hand I’ve seen. Even after standing 5 feet in front of Loomis and just analyzing everything I could…… Some of that rhythm work from Winds of Creation and Nihility is just wicked….. and Wes Hauch rules too.
@@ShredForthanother record with Merrow is also a must!
I want a full record of Ihsahn and Loomis.
Jeff sounds so wholesome when he speaks lol. You expect this kind of grit to him and instead he’s like warm bread. My favorite scene of him is when he’s trying to figure out the fist bump with Tony Macalpine hahaha.
Jeff, comes straight out with some Conquering Dystopia for your face!
Jeff Loomis's first 2 solo albums are some of the best guitar work I've heard of. I'd kill to see him play live with Chris Broderick and Nevermore again.
The almighty Loomis. Hope to hear some new solo work from him soon, guy's a genius
Jeff is the GOAT
Please start another NEVERMORE like project man!! I really miss those type of songs!
I remember seeing them open for megadeath many years ago.Never heard of them.My jaw was on the floor.So much talent in that band.
Absolutely 👌
I just put this set in an Ibanez RG7620 and they sound great (thought my Mesa Mark IV) super tight riffing but still "liquidy when playing lead.
I always use the opening riff to "Ambivalent" to see if a pickup is tight enough or a mud mess, this one is crystal clear. the neck pick up is not muddy at all but not shrill either, Duncan did a great job on these :)
Man, I really miss Nevermore. 🥺Great work Jeff! 🤘
3:35 This Sacrament!! Haven't seen him play this one in a while! 😁
Still to this day,this guy's playing is fresh as a lobster!
Damn the active pickups are what kept me from buying the signature guitar, hopefully we see the update made to the production models soon
Those are some amazing sounding pickups. I love how heavy and growly it is, yet still very clear. I can hear all of the notes.
Impressive sound for a passive pick up!!And of course, Jeff's mastery behind them!!
Jeff is such a Monster
I was glad Jeff played a little Nevermore, This Sacrament 3:35 from The Politics of Ecstasy.
Such amazing sounding pickups!
Awesome! Sounds killer!!! Looking forward to your solo album!!! 😎
Interesting that he went with passives, after playing active pickups for so long.
Oh an I concur, new Conquering Dystopia album would be awesome.
One of the best modern metal guitarists out there, and I'm glad he finally left Arch Enemy because it seemed like he was stifled into a very predictable and formulaic approach with them. They never let him play as much as they should've, too. Here's to hoping he goes on to making better music than that in the future!
Honestly, I like Arch Enemy but Mike and his songwriting were holding Jeff back from his potential
Jeff is such a beast man, love all his work.
I wish that this Set was also custom shop to have the choice to maintain the cover on the bobbins like his first set as an option.His pickups are also unique to his playing style and articulation and this is what I love about the legendary Jeffrey Loomis,Guitar God since his High School days!!!🤘🏽🙏🏽

When I see Jeff, it's an instant thumbs up! 🤟❤
thx for the video .. never forget the really nice master class in Germany Guitar Summit .. it was really interesting and really cool to meet you in person
I'm all over this... Thanks Jeff for this
Jeff is a Beast.
(Brazil 🇧🇷) pickups Jeff loomis 👀🫵🦻😬👍🤘 pickups monsters.
Sounds pretty great!
Wow a metal guitarist not using EMG or Fishman for once
I have his 6 & 7 string Blackouts, can't wait to try these out!!! I love the Blackouts, I've owned just about every set!!!
I always wished Jeff had a set of passive pickups because my guitars are set up with passive. Always loved his sound with active pickups, and Jeff Loomis is my favorite guitarist, and Nevermore is my all-time favorite band. When I get new pickups, I'll definitely be getting these, for sure.
Always listened to his music but this is the first time I hear him talk.
I dig the chirping pick sound on the pick attacks, you can actually bring this out in EQ with the 8kHz just bump it up +1.1db.
That guitar is SO sick looking
What a legend.
Jeff's riffs are so sickie!! \m/
Jeff you're such a legend. I've been learning a handful of songs from This Godless Endeavor. Super fun and very nostalgic for me.
noumenon - now thats a song i havent heard in a long while! long live NEVERMORE
Love the tones I'm hearing! Man, I want to put these in my ESP E-II Horizon FR-7!
sounding killer Jeff, these look great!
I might have to give these pickups a try. Jeff got me interested in Schecter guitars. Only found out about Jeff since 2012 maybe. Very late to the game as Nevermore had already broken up by then. I adore Jeff’s playing he’s a generational talent in my opinion.
Those Jackson guitars though! They look so cool! And it sounds amazing too!
I wish a 7 string Kelly with fixed bridge an the new Noumenon passiv pickups. 😍
Jeff Loomis is my Metal Guitar Hero.
Jeff Loomis is so brilliant, he doesn’t know it himself. These pups are really interesting.
Ok, another set I need to try 😅
JEFF IS SOOOO AMAZING!🤘🤪
Eu amo Nevermore ❤
Jeff - please release an updated signature Jackson with these and stainless frets. Instant buy from me
Tell Jackson not Jeff
what a legend
Awesome!! ❤
That Jeff's a hell of a picker.
The riff master in a dead world ❤
His signature strings are killer,nevermore,zero order phase and conquering dystopia are amazing albums from jeff
nevermore is my favorite band
Bill L. was my Drummer in Bellingham for a minute.
YETI.
We had some killer tunes.
YEAAAH FINALLY...IT GOES BRING BACK THAT HUGE NEVERMORE GIGANTIC SOUND🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🤩🤩🤩🤘🏻
Jeff, killer bro, killer!!
Sounds very much like the SH-4….I love those pickups to death
These sound lush.
His Jackson Models are the hottest looking Metal Guitars 🔥🙌🔥
Please make Conquering Dystopia's material great again! Give us the second one!!!
Man Jeff still sounds so surgically precise
Jeff Loomis 🐐🍻🤘
I hope someone from SD product development sees this:
The biggest reason I favor active pickups in 7 string guitars is metal oriented 7 string guitars are generally not set up for the diverse wiring options that passive pickups offer.
As an example, Jeff's guitar here only has one volume knob. Like most 7 string guitars, Jeff's guitar is also not set up for pickup rings. The only way to use diverse wiring options is to drill holes into the body for more push/pull pots and mini toggle switches.
I really don't want to do those modifications. So, if the series mode of a pickup is the only mode I'm going to use, I might as well just use an active pickup.
To use a 4 conductor passive pickup in series only wastes so much of the pickup potential.
If 7 string guitars were offered in pickup ring versions that used 7 string Triple Shot mounting rings, I would be much more interested in passive 7 string pickup designs.
In that kind of setup, I could use all four conductors of the passive pickup instead of just its series wiring mode.
I realize there is not much of an incentive for SD to make 7 string Triple Shot mounting rings because so few 7 string guitars come with pickup rings, but if SD did make a 7 string Triple Shot, I'd be much more interested in 7 string passive pickups.
We have yet to bridge the gap between 7 string guitars and the complex wiring mods of traditional Strats. Someone needs to work on merging those worlds.
Bro just drill the holes, it’s not super difficult and as long as you measure twice it’s hard to fuck up.
@@Eliphas_Elric Most luthiers would recommend buying a stand up drill press for this. Table mounted drill presses would not be sufficient. It's not worth the cost of the press just to drill 8 holes each in a few guitars.
Additionally if you use the wrong screw type and direction you can damage the paint and crack the finish, especially for guitars with arch tops and sculpted bodies.
Edit: Even then there is not a 7 string Triple Shot. Last I checked with SD, they will not make you one at the custom shop. This is probably because the Triple Shots are manufactured overseas and imported.
Mystery solved! That ring on right hand for sure is some sort of picking accelerator!
I have to say the pickups sound great, but I don't like that chirpness up in the highs. I've seen in a Facebook post he swapped his ultex sharp for a 2.0mm flow pick. Probably the noisiest of all picks regarding to chirp. If the pickup is voiced to accentuate even more that noise... Not my cup of tea.
The man knows how to get the tone right for sure, and I'm glad it works for him.
Ok Jeff COOL Jackson..👍😁🇧🇷
The top guys in this genre are: Romeo, Petrucci, Loomis, and Louriero.
Nice pickups. I only use passive.
Romeo, Petrucci suck. 😂😂😂 other two are fine.
@@ClinicalDecisionYikesYT You must be high. Clown talk. 🤡
Sounds heavy as F#cK!! Great tone 😎👍
Super curious to know which duncans he had in his 'b' guitar
JB 0R DIST0RTI0N ID GUESS!
Now some new music!
What was that first riff from? Brutal
Teasing new Conquering Dystopia stuff I see.
What song is he playing in the beginning of this video?
Bro out here playing Hauchian solos, I could not ask for anything more. 😫
What is the opening song?
What a monster holy jesus. 😳
3:04 you.....want? to hear the pick "cherp"? I've always wondered if there was a way to eliminate that excess noise. Im not sure why it would be desired. Help
🔥
What song is he playing in the intro? I need to know hahah
nice
I need that seven-string model in a non-Floyd model.
Holy shit he played the solo to This Sacrament!
I miss Nevermore 😥
Sadly you don't ship to Austria 😢 and my local guitar store don't have them..
I see JL.. I hit like. That being said his blackouts sound better to my taste.
I wouldn’t mind a new solo, Conquering Dystopia, or even a team-up with Chris Broderick album.
Super aggressive, fuck yeah. I might grab me some🙏
Anyone have initial thoughts how this might compare to a Dmarzio D Activator in the bridge and neck… specifically for heavy metal?
They'll sound basically the same as any other humbucker when distorted. The difference will come down to output. If one is quieter than the other, you might be inclined to boost it going into the amp or turn up the gain on the amp for it to sound how you want. 👍
@@MichaelSheaAudio No they don't, that's a complete misnomer. I have 3 Les Pauls with different passive HB's in each one, they all sound completely different, distorted or clean, I mainly play metal and I'm a complete ear only player, been playing for over 45 years. One set Alnico2 warm wound, one set Alnico 8 hot wound and one set Ceramic hot wound, all completely different, and obvious, clean or distorted....
@@MickH60 Do you have DI recordings of the same riff that you can play through the same signal chain so you can listen to them back to back?
My Nevermore bois the solo from This Sacrament is at 3:50 ;)
