Product Description
As the name implies, the SH-6 Distortion is perfect for driving - or overdriving - your amp's input, yielding a ton of crunch while maintaining clarity. This high output humbucker is perfect for metal of any flavor, and also fares well in other styles of high-aggression music. This power/clarity combination comes from the enormous ceramic magnet and hot coil windings that merge to create a sound full of rawness. For punchy tones that cut through the mix - even in drop tunings - the SH-6 Distortion certainly delivers. Seymour Duncan SH-6 Distortion at a Glance: Sound Complete setup Sound The SH-6 Distortion is a high-output humbucker built for aggressive playing styles. It's recommended for old school metal, nu-metal, gothic, garage, punk, thrash, and other heavy rock styles, and is great for drop tunings. The SH-6 yields high output while retaining clarity. The massive ceramic magnet and hot coil windings deliver

I've tried the Invader, and though that's the quietest pickup I've ever heard, this SH has the most dynamic tone I've come across. It distorts so well I'd swear it was active.
I'm not much for pickup adjectives, other than to tell you that I'm about to buy another. That's how awesome this thing sounds.
