Blackouts: Seymour Duncan's alternative for high-gain tones

The Blackouts AHB-1B is an active pickup designed to deliver immediate power reserve and dynamic response, with a precise feel under the fingers. In the bridge position, it emphasizes definition and impact, making it a highly appreciated choice for fast riffs, aggressive rhythms, and leads that need to stand out effortlessly.

Who is it for and which styles?

This pickup is aimed at guitarists playing old school metal, garage, punk, thrash, and broadly all styles of hard rock requiring a tight and articulated sound. If you play in low tunings, it helps maintain firm lows and clear attacks without muddiness, even on complex chords.

Designed for silence, built for stage and studio

Thanks to its interference-resistant design and shielded 3-conductor wiring, the AHB-1B targets stable performance in demanding environments (lighting rigs, pedalboards, heavy distortions). In use, you get a clean and powerful signal ready to drive a high-gain amp or effects chain, with a sense of control and consistency especially appreciated both live and in recording.
