Seymour Duncan has been making a marked effort to cater to metal players in recent years. Between hiring Keith Merrow to work for them, their line of pickups designed for high-gain metal tones (Black Winter, Nazgul, Sentient, Blackouts, Retribution) and signature artist sets for the likes of Gus G., Dave Mustaine, Mick Thompson, Synyster Gates and Dino Cazares, they’re covering a wide range of modern and classic metal sounds and subgenres.
One of their recent endeavors has been their line of pedals. They now make exactly one of each different type – compressor, overdrive, delay, distortion, boost, bass compressor (no reverb yet) and it seems they wanted someone to demo them. But who can play anything and everything, enough to demo them all in a musical way across genres? Surely no such man exists.
Enter Wes Hauch.
Chops is his middle name.
But how could one ever choose a pickup from such an extensive lineup? Even once you’ve narrowed it down to one company, there’s so many. If only there was some kind of interactive pickup selector……
