Designed to reach the pinnacle of passive high-gain performance, the Zenith delivers a thick, chunky tone that hits hard and stays articulate under pressure. Built around oversized ceramic magnets and dual slug coils, it unleashes crushing power with a full-bodied voice that remains clear and responsive, even at extreme gain levels.
The bridge pickup is massive and aggressive, with dominant low-mids that give every note weight and punch. Despite its girth, the low end stays compact and well-defined, avoiding boominess, while the upper mids cut through with precision — perfect for tight riffing and effortless pinch harmonics. Highs are smooth and controlled, keeping the tone from becoming harsh or brittle, even with the most saturated settings.
The neck pickup is brighter but no less commanding, with a fluid, sustaining quality that makes it ideal for solos and rich, punchy cleans. Asymmetrical windings give it a wide dynamic range and nuanced response, allowing it to breathe and react naturally to playing dynamics despite its high output.
Thanks to its dual slug coils, oversized ceramic magnet, and heavily overwound bobbins, the Zenith combines the aggressive clarity and output of an active pickup with the warmth and dynamic touch of a passive. It delivers saturated tones with power and control, while preserving the feel and expressiveness that modern players demand.
The power of an active with the soul of a passive — Zenith delivers modern high-gain tones without compromise.
