The D Activator 7™ Neck pickup solves the age-old dilemma of active humbuckers — brilliant tone without the typical drawbacks. Traditional active pickups are known for their powerful, clean sound with exceptional harmonic overtones and tight low-end response, making them ideal candidates for 7-string guitars. However, they’ve long suffered from sterile characteristics and limited headroom that many players find restrictive.
This innovative pickup eliminates those common issues while maintaining all the benefits that make active humbuckers so appealing. The Neck model combines impressive power with remarkable clarity, ensuring your low “B” string remains solid and defined even under extreme overdrive conditions — no muddy mess here. Meanwhile, the higher strings maintain their singing quality right up the fretboard, giving you consistent performance across the entire range.
Best of all, you get this active-style performance without the hassle of battery dependency. The D Activator 7™ Neck model gives you that distinctive open sound and excellent harmonic content that serious players demand, making it a practical choice for both studio work and live performance.
