Description
Mick Thomson doesn’t do subtlety, and neither does this set. The Seymour Duncan Blackouts active humbucker pair was designed directly with the Slipknot guitarist to nail his rhythm tone: percussive, tight, and merciless on palm-muted riffing without turning into mush on the low strings.
Being an active design, the Blackouts run on a preamp circuit rather than relying purely on magnet strength and coil winding, which is exactly why they can push serious output while staying articulate. Chugging through downtuned riffs or 7-string territory, you get defined note separation instead of a blurred wall of low end, plus enough clarity up top for leads to cut through a dense mix.
Built for players who track heavy, gain-saturated tones and need their pickups to keep up rather than fight back, this set suits both 6-string and 7-string guitars.
- Signature active humbucker set designed with Mick Thomson (Slipknot)
- Active circuit for tight, high-output performance
- Compatible with 6-string and 7-string guitars
- Voiced for aggressive, palm-muted rhythm and clear lead cut-through
If your current pickups turn to sludge the moment you drop-tune and dig in, this is the set built specifically to solve that problem.
