Product Description
The Seymour Duncan AHB-3 Mick Thomson EMTY Blackouts 7 String Active Phase II Humbucker Set. FREE shipping anywhere in the USA!The pulverizing tone that defines Slipknot and Mick Thomson is now available in a 7-string pickup, just like our regular Blackouts.
Mick was already a Blackouts fan before we collaborated on his signature pickup. “Blackouts have a lot more tone than your typical active pickup,” he says. “They sound more real. It’s a bigger sound, with richer harmonics and a wider frequency range.”
EMTY Blackouts maintain those qualities, but they’re custom voiced to suit Mick’s signature low tunings. We’ve tightened the bass response for better low-end articulation, avoiding the “woofy” sound that can plague dropped tunings. Mick also requested more high-end “cut,” but without added harshness.
The result: EMTY Blackouts, an active pickup that has become a weapon of choice for metal guitarists worldwide.
Application
9-volt active humbucker for aggressive playing styles. Recommended for all metal and heavy rock styles, including extreme low tunings.
Description
Seymour Duncan Blackouts represent the pinnacle in active pickup technology, and Mick Thomson agrees. In his relentless quest for the ultimate tone, Mick asked for even tighter bottom, and more searing top end cut, and Seymour Duncan delivered with the EMTY, a pulverizing addition to our Blackouts line.
Guitars
