PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
- MC1 voice for modern metal precision The primary MC1 voice is purpose-built for modern high-gain playing delivering exceptional tightness fast transient response and clear note separation. Its voicing emphasises controlled low frequencies and a focused midrange ensuring complex riffs maintain even under extreme distortion. Palm-muted passages stay punchy while extended chords retain definition across all strings. The top end remains smooth and controlled avoiding brittle fizz or nasal harshness. This makes MC1 especially well suited to modern metal styles that make use of down-tuned guitars 7-string and extended-range instruments and aggressive right-hand technique. It also maintains consistent tracking across fast picking complex rhythms and dense arrangements where definition is critical. Classic JB and Jazz-inspired voicing Voice 2 draws directly from Seymour Duncan&rsquo
- s legacy recreating the feel and tonal balance of the classic JB bridge and Jazz neck pickups. This mode delivers the familiar Seymour Duncan punch warmth and dynamic response ideal for rock and expressive lead playing. Attack remains immediate with harmonics blooming naturally as gain increases. By incorporating these proven voicings into an active platform MortalCoil offers both vintage-inspired character and modern output preserving touch sensitivity while offering the headroom and consistency expected from contemporary active designs.
