Damn, that means he's going for a more "beefy" tone. And further away from the sharpness of FtR

9-volt active humbucker for aggressive playing styles. Recommended for old school metal, garage, punk, thrash, drop tunings, and other heavy rock styles.
Description
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 cancelling hum. Our engineers figured out how to capture the tone that players want in an active design, but 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.
Complete Setup
Blackouts are available in individual neck and bridge models, or as a two-pickup set. All versions come with all necessary mounting hardware, including pots, jack, and a battery clip.
Guitars
For all humbucker guitars. The blade magnets make this pickup suitable for both humbucker and Trembucker string spacings.
Cool, i wonder what kind of tone he'll have on the new album. I hope it won't sound as thrashy as it did on AYDY.
Is that tr00? I have no idea how those pickups sound, if so, that kind of sucks!
i wouldn't judge Duncans with this sound sample, yes the sample is GAY just as all the rest of their samples unfortunately. but i must tell you from my personal experience this pickups are do able to provide killer tone.
i am really curious to see what alexi will do with his tone on upcoming album
awesome stuff! I bet Symbiotic in Theory was awesome?
Just got back from Summer Slaughter at Soma in San Diego.
Here is my review:
Got there at about 6 pm. Saw the first two bands Beneath The Massacre and Ion Dissonance.
BTM: This band was probably the worst of the night, I just didnt like it.
Ion Dissonance: More heavy than technical, but they were good.
Up next, ARSIS!!!!:
Boy was this a good set. Opened with The Face Of My Innocence which is my favorite. Don't know the other 2 songs because the mixing was bad and I couldnt hear a thing.
Then The Faceless:
Pretty good, though I dislike the singer. Guitarists are good.
Then me and my buddies went to the lobby to escape the chance of having to sit through 2 1/2 hours of shit. In this gap, I met The Faceless's lead guitarist, and James Malone from Arsis (FUCK YEAH).
Then, the glory of the night, NECROPHAGIST:
I couldnt have been more happy with the setlist.
They played the entire Epitaph album in order!!
Then Marco Minneman (Has Played with Paul Gilbert) had a good sized drum solo about 6-7 minutes long. This is guy indeed the best drummer I have ever seen!
Then Necro jumped into Full Body Autopsy which was epic.
Then Intestinal Incubation
Then Extreme Unction
Then they ended with the perfect song, FERMENTED OFFAL DISCHARGE, by crowd request.
Very good night and I suggest every one see this tour!
Did anyone hear that Alexi switched from EMG to Seymour Duncan?
wtf, you didnt see decapitated? you are ghey.
ould this mean my guitar would become rarer because, a)they were going to discontinue it anways and b)because it has an emg?
ass-raping music?? decapitated is fucking awesome
meh, i have a seymour duncan jb jr. in my dean...i am NOT impressed with it
Congrats EB. Seeing that shit must have made you feel like I felt when I saw and met Paul Gilbert. I hope there's a least 1 fucking decent video/audio from this tour.
