Seymour Duncan: Mark Holcomb Scarlet and Scourge

  • Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
  • Mark Holcomb’s musicality continues to push progressive metal forward. The sound of Scarlet & Scourge was inspired by his use of high-gain amp-modeling technology. With his modeler delivering Periphery’s ideal overdriven amp sound, Mark’s new pickups required enhanced clarity for complex chord voicings, coil splitting, and drop tunings. Through rigorous testing, Mark & the Seymour Duncan engineering team created the Scarlet neck and Scourge bridge pickups. Like Mark’s other signature neck pickup Alpha - which is suited for Mark’s heaviest riffs - Scarlet features a ceramic magnet, but with an output calibrated for note definition in clean & mid-gain applications. The Scourge, with its Alnico 8 magnet, provides the low-end and focused mid-range needed to anchor Mark’s modern sound.

    Anyone knows how the low end sounds as to 7 string version(especially bridge pickup)?
    Some said it was more traditional sounding so it is muddier than contemporary metal pickups such as bkp. However in this video Mark mentioned it was aimed for clarity and could get articulation of 6 strings, is it true?

    • @travislee9662
      @travislee9662 Год назад +1

      @@jessegolden23 yeah I have both Alpha and Omega 6 and 7 loaded older Holcomb models and I’m interested in hearing these. I loved the Omega bridge but not crazy about the Alpha neck. I guess he was going for more clarity at the time, but I found them a little harsh and trebley sounding. When I switch to a neck I like a little fatter warm sound. From what I heard the Scarlet is supposed to be a more traditional warmer sounding neck pickup than the Alpha.

    • @nvmbrsdoom5
      @nvmbrsdoom5 Год назад +5

      Honestly you can achieve that with either the Omega or Scourge, but there's some differences there that may or may not work better for you depending on your situation. For example, are you using a modeler? If so, Mark specifically designed and voiced the Scourge to work with a modeler by having a little less output and a sound that works a bit more cohesively with high-gain modeler settings. Also if you are a fan of coil-split tones and like that kind of clarity and response you get when using coil-splitting, the Scourge is designed for that particularly. It's got an Alnico 8 magnet in there which is favored a lot by players who like the ceramic magnets and alnico V magnets but want a bit more of a focused low end and midrange, an a less harsh response in the upper-mids. I'd say if you're looking for your pickup to drive the front of your amp harder and be a bit more aggressive, then the Omega is probably the way to go. Otherwise, if you want a bit less push from the pickup itself and a bit more of that clarity and midrange-y sound and let the amp do most of the heavy lifting in terms of gain and aggression, then the Scourge would be a solid choice.
