Seymour Duncan MortalCoil Multiple-Voiced 6-String Active Humbucker Set - Black | No Limit Guitar Co, Idaho Falls
The Seymour Duncan MortalCoil is a three-voiced active humbucker set engineered for 6-string players who refuse to be limited to a single tone. Built on 50 years of Seymour Duncan pickup-voicing expertise, the MortalCoil combines a crushing modern metal voice, authentic JB and Jazz-inspired passive voicings, and a punchy split-coil single-coil tone — all in one drop-in active set. From extreme high-gain metal to pristine cleans, this pickup set handles it all with surgical precision and exceptional dynamic clarity.
Product Overview
The MortalCoil set is constructed around precision-wound high-density copper coils with optimized low resistance, delivering faster transient response and stronger pick attack than competing active designs across all playing styles and tunings. The covered HH configuration houses a Ceramic magnet in the bridge and Alnico 5 in the neck — a pairing that balances the tight, focused aggression of the bridge voice with the warmer, more organic character of the neck. Standard 6-string spacing makes this a straightforward upgrade for most guitars.
The three-voice system is what sets MortalCoil apart. Voice 1 (MC1) is built for modern metal — tight lows, focused mids, cutting presence, and zero fizz even under extreme gain. Voice 2 faithfully reproduces the character of Seymour Duncan's legendary JB Bridge and Jazz Neck pairing, bringing singing highs, full-bodied bite, and organic passive-style feel into an active format. Voice 3 delivers a sparkling split-coil sound with enough output to hold its own in any mix, handling everything from blooming cleans to light-gain edge-of-breakup tones with equal ease.
Powering all three voices is an all-new preamp built on advanced audio op-amps, contributing harmonic richness, dynamic feel, and extremely low distortion. The efficient circuit design prioritizes battery life, keeping you performing reliably whether you're on stage or deep into a studio session. The MortalCoil 6-string active humbucker set is available now at No Limit Guitar Co in Idaho Falls.

Key Features
Three Distinct Voices On Demand Voice 1 delivers modern metal brutality with tight lows and surgical clarity. Voice 2 reproduces the beloved JB Bridge and Jazz Neck character with singing highs and full-bodied sustain. Voice 3 introduces a split-coil sparkle with enough output for any mix — three completely different tonal personalities in a single matched set.
MC1 Modern Metal Voice The primary MC1 voice is engineered specifically for extreme high-gain applications, maintaining note separation, low-end focus, and cutting presence without high-end fizz or nasal midrange coloration — even under the most aggressive gain settings.
High-Density Copper Coil Construction Precision-wound high-density copper coils with optimized resistance produce faster transient response and stronger pick attack than competing active humbucker designs, a meaningful advantage whether you're playing drop-tuned riffs or fast single-note runs.
Advanced Audio Preamp The all-new active preamp utilizes advanced audio op-amps for rich harmonic detail, dynamic feel, and extremely low distortion — a noticeable upgrade over standard active pickup circuitry in both feel and fidelity.
