Availability:  


Get aggressive with the Deathbucker.

Using patented and patent pending Lace® “current driven” technology, the Deathbucker™ was designed for high output with a heavy metal drive. Extreme output with thunderous bottom end, yet crisp highs allow the player the most versatile of high output pickups. “This passive design yields active pickup performance with absolutely zero noise and no need for a battery” states Jeff Lace. “In split mode, the unique Alumitone design is dead quiet with full range” further stated Lace.Another Deathbucker advantage is there is no volume drop in split mode and working as a single coil; noise is virtually eliminated in comparison to standard old style humbucker designs.Deathbuckers are compatible with all guitars and other pickups. As an easy drop in replacement, the 4 conductor design needs only 250k pots. It is excellent for any playing situation from live to direct to board recording.

  • Clean and Powerful

    As reviewed by Ryan Paxton on 4/13/2011

    I was a little skeptical about buying these pickups, however, I decided to make the plunge. I did not want active pickups, but I wanted a powerful sound. So I went on a limb when buying these, since there are hardly any reviews out there for them. Appeal: I knew they would look sexy upon installing them into my 1982 Washburn Tour 24 guitar. The dark brushed metal goes well with my black guitar. Installation: The wiring diagram was slightly confusing at first, but I decided to not split the coils. The wires that come with them are plenty long, so you definitely won't have any trouble covering the distance inside your guitar's body. Hardware: Solid construction, these things are thin! It honestly feels just like a thin metal bar with wires underneath, but they are strong. Very durable. I will say that one of my favorite features of these pickups was the lack of springs. They give you a rubber tube to compress around your install screws rather than a spring, which makes it much cleaner, sturdier, and balanced. When you compress them, they bulk up and give you columns for support rather than thin screws. Sound: Powerful. I've never heard anything as loud as these pups. They are passive and yet when I set my volume to 1/10, they rock my whole house. To achieve the same volume, I had to crank my amp up to a 4/10 on my Seymour Duncans. The tone is mellow and crisp. It isn't bright and warm, rather, it's a cold, chilling sound. Sounds very much like Explosions in the Sky without using any FX pedals. When hooking them up to an FX pedal, however, the possibilities are endless. I mean, really, these pups brought life back into my guitar and my pedals. Cons: The only downsides, really, are if you want a warm sound, it can be hard to achieve, and if you're short on cash, these could be too steep. Conclusion: You will get what you pay for if you are looking for an icy tone. They make me want to play my guitar again and experiment with different FX. Thank you Lace Alumitone!
