Seymour Duncan AHB-1 Blackouts HB High-Output Active Humbucker Set Black

Metal guitarists seeking crushing tone with organic character will find their perfect match in the Blackouts high-output active bridge humbucker. This pickup combines the powerful signal level of active electronics with an open tonal response that preserves your guitar’s natural voice. The extended treble and bass frequencies reach beyond traditional active pickups, while the carefully balanced, slightly scooped midrange creates that perfect crunch tone modern metal demands.

Built for extreme playing styles, the Blackouts excels at producing screaming pinched harmonics and maintains articulation during hyper-speed riffage. Dynamic response remains consistent across the entire fretboard, with clear highs and crushingly tight lows that make your riffs cut through right down to low B tuning. Pair it with the Blackouts neck humbucker for a perfectly matched set that covers all your tonal needs.

Installation is straightforward regardless of your guitar’s current setup - these pickups work in instruments routed for either passive or active electronics. Each pickup includes all necessary components: pots, hardware, quick-connector cables, the required capacitor for active operation, output jack, battery clip, and installation wire. If your guitar already features active pickups with quick-connector cables, installation becomes as simple as unplugging the old pickups and connecting your new Blackouts.
