Product Description
The Seymour Duncan Blackouts 7 String Phase II Humbucker Set - black. FREE shipping anywhere in the USA!Application
Same amazing 9-volt active pickups as 6-string Blackouts, but built to direct retrofit nearly all 7-string electric guitars, thanks to two cover sizes. Perfect for old school metal, garage, punk, thrash, drop tunings, and other heavy rock styles.
Description
Like 6-string Blackouts, the 7-string versions use balanced inputs with a differential preamp for reduced noise. They’re voiced for heavy rock with greater dynamic range, less scooped mids, and less compression than other active pickups.
Guitars
There are two versions of 7-string Blackouts: Phase I and Phase II. Phase I Blackouts are a direct retrofit for most passive 7-string humbuckers, including those by Seymour Duncan and DiMarzio®. Phase II Blackouts are a direct retrofit for the EMG® 707 humbucker.
Complete Setup
7-string Blackouts are available individually or in calibrated neck and bridge sets. Includes 25K pots, stereo jack, battery clip and other mounting hardware. Whether you use the 6-string or the 7-string versions, pair Blackouts with our SFX-04 Twin Tube Mayhem for maximum tonal aggression.
Players
Dino Cazares / Divine Heresy
| Please note that these clips are made to be as similar as possible to the other clips for SD's pickups for objective reference. Most people will use these pickups for heavier riffs and styles. About the Guitars: We used a '56 Goldtop for the humbuckers with a fresh set of American Flyer 10-46 gauge strings. About the Amps: We employed the "highest common denominator" philosophy in our amp selection. For clean tones, we used a silverface Fender Super Reverb with stock 4x10 "blue frame" speakers. We kept the Bright Switch "On" throughout. For crunch tones, we used a well-worn Marshall JCM 800 50 watt master volume head through a new Marshall 1960A Celestion®-loaded 4x12 cabinet. We plugged into the High output. With both amps we close miked straight-on with SM-57s through a Soundcraft Spirit Folio Mixer. These are the amp settings:
