      Seymour Duncan AHB-1 Blackouts Humbucker Set with Metal Covers (360818)
Availability:  


A full set of screaming, hard-hitting Blackouts.

With this set you get 2 Seymour Duncan Blackouts AHB-1 9-volt active humbuckers with metal covers for the heavy tone of a high-output bridge pickup and screaming leads from the neck. Voiced for extreme heaviness, the Blackouts are perfect for all styles of old school metal, punk, garage, thrash, drop tunings, and heavy rock. They have a screaming voice with amazing midrange punch, producing thick, dark chords and hard-hitting leads.Use Blackouts pickups in any humbucker-routed electric guitar. Includes 25K pots, stereo jack, battery clip, pin jumper, and other mounting hardware.The "other" USA-made active humbuckers use unbalanced inputs in a differential preamp. The problem is, an unbalanced differential preamp is not very effective at canceling hum. Seymour Duncan engineers figured out how to capture the tone that players want in an active design, while using balanced inputs. The result is 12dB to 14dB less noise, plus more lows, more highs, and more output. Simply put, Blackouts have more tone than other active pickups.

With our Guaranteed Lowest Price, you can be assured of complete satisfaction and the lowest available price, or your money back!

  • Best Active Hum Pup our there

    As reviewed by Mark Rakemaker on 5/20/2010

    I've owned the EMG 81/85 set and I took them out because they were a one trick pony and somewhat lifeless. This is not the case with the Blackouts. I installed these into a PRS just last night and I played for hours. I really enjoyed the tonal range and you can actually dial these in, unlike the EMG's. The cleans were bell like and if you backed of the volume pot, they cleared up really nice. And like one other person said, these can also get really really hot, too. The distortion did not wash out and you could still retain your sonic clarity. The installation and instructions were all good. These pups are going to live a long life in my PRS. I really like them.

  • Amazing

    As reviewed by "B" on 12/31/2009

    Just like in the description, Blackouts offer MORE! They own any EMG made. More punch and clarity. More chug, but with awesome definition. Very natural, but hot as hell. Get some now, you'll be amazed~!
