High output, aggressive highs that enjoy nudging tones into overtones, and a full-bodied sound that doesn't turn muddy in the lower frequencies - these make the Seymour Duncan Distortion an ideal lead pickup for fans of truly distorted sounds.

Aggressive overtones

Over the last two years, I've tried a huge amount of pickups, because I am constantly on the hunt for the ultimate tone.
Throughout the process of trying pickup over pickup, I have become a great fan of Seymour Duncan.
The SH-6 aka. the Duncan Distortion has become one of my favorites.
It has plenty of bight and grunt without getting muddy. It retains clarity even when the guitar is tuned down.
It definitely has some 80's shred mojo.
In a few (very few guitars) the Distortin tended to get a little hard to controll in the high end, though nothing one cannot fix by dialing the amp a little more carefull.
It works absolutely great with maple, by the way!

Versatile AND Brutal!

Really awesome pickup. I purchased this with the neck version and they are an awesome combo. Very articulate tight attack for palm muted rhythm work and chug. Individual note clarity for me is a big highlight of this pickup, which really makes it excel from Metal to Blues.
The pickup is very aggressive, but not so much as to become a muddy mess. You have to be smart with your gain controls on your amp though.
Highly recommended for Metal/ Rock players who also want to delve into other distorted territory. 5 out of 5 beers!

High output, very clear and articulate sound with high and middle frequencies in the center. Outstanding work with high gain amps.
Unfortunately there was an error. Please try again later.

SH 6 : Le micro idéal pour le gros son metal !
Raphaël D. 26.05.2011
Possédant une Flying V Gibson, je cherchais à remplacer le micro chevalet d'origine qui ne me satisfaisait pas.
Je joue du metal, principalement du thrash old-school (Megadeth, Metallica, Slayer...) et je cherchais donc un micro précis, agressif mais ayant quand même du grain, donc moins lisse qu'un EMG 81 par exemple.
Je pense avoir trouvé toutes ces qualités avec ce Seymour Duncan Sh6 ! En effet, contrairement au micro d'origine, en distortion le SH6 envoie des basses très tendues et les aigus sans juste comme il faut, c'est-à-dire agressif mais sans percer les oreilles.
Le clean n'est bien évidemment pas le fort d'un tel micro typé High-gain, mais j'ai quand même été agréablement surpris, le son clair est bien plus exploitable que sur d'autres micros du même genre et ne sonne pas trop sec.
En conclusion, je pense avoir trouvé LE micro metal qui me convient et ce n'est pas un hasard si un certain Jeff Waters (Annihilation) en est friand aussi !
