The Blackouts Series: Seymour Duncan's Active Pickups with an Organic Sound
With the Blackouts range, Seymour Duncan designed active pickups tailored for extreme music, while maintaining an organic character that lets the guitar express its personality. This approach aims for a powerful and modern sound without overpowering the wood, craftsmanship, or playing dynamics-a key point for 7-string guitars where low-end definition makes all the difference.
Who is it for and in what playing contexts?
The Corey Beaulieu Blackouts 7-string set is aimed at metal guitarists seeking a massive yet precise tone, whether in low tunings, ultra-tight rhythm playing, or lead. Both at the neck and bridge positions, it remains clear and smooth, ideal for switching between fast riffs, technical passages, and expressive solos, in the studio or on stage.
Frequency response, gain, and noise: the recipe for fast and clean riffs
These active pickups offer a better response in lows and highs than most active pickups, with a slight scoop in the mids to avoid a "muddy" effect under heavy distortion. The result: sharp attacks, immediate note definition, and solid lows on the 7th string, while keeping highs present to highlight harmonics and picking detail. Designed to handle any gain level, they also help reduce unwanted noise for a cleaner, more controllable signal in modern rigs.
