DP704BK

EvolutionxAE 7 DP704BK.

The basic characteristics of the 6-string EvolutionxAE Bridge model sound like a perfect description for a 7-string lead pickup: power, attack and presence. Combining the basic EvolutionxAE design with Virtual VintagexAE technology results in a 7-string pickup possessing crunching lows and intense highs. The output of the EvolutionxAE 7 is concentrated towards the upper mids and treble, so there’s a lot of cutting power, and the low end stays hot and clear.

Recommended For Bridge position.

Tech Talk
Making a 7-string version of a pre-existing 6-string pickup is not a simple matter of copying specs. Particularly with a high-output pickup, it's important that the low x93B’ string doesn't get muddy-sounding. We made the coils on the EvolutionxAE 7 brighter sounding than the 6-string version to make sure this doesn't happen. We then used some of the same technology that went into the Virtual VintagexAE design to warm up the sound of the high strings without affecting the low x93Bx94. The bass strings have a lot of clean power and the high strings cut through without sounding thin.
