They support the pickup’s clear response, slight treble emphasis, and focused low end.

Independent shopping perspective
Jeff Loomis’ seven-string neck Blackouts humbucker is voiced for articulate lead work while retaining sustain and usable clean dynamics. Alnico 5 rod magnets at every pole support a clear response with a small lift in the treble range, while the low end remains focused so extended-range notes do not become boomy. The feel is modeled after a passive humbucker, paired with the output, headroom, and very low noise associated with an active design.
