Updated, redesigned, and re-launched version of LiveWires Metal humbucker with
new preamp, new voicing, and ability to switch between output levels. Perfect
for all styles of metal, punk, garage, thrash, drop tunings, and heavy rock.
description
Blackouts Metal pickups are voiced for extreme heaviness. They are our highest
output electric guitar pickups. Period. They have a screaming voice with amazing
mid-range punch and they produce thick, dark chords, and hard-hitting leads.
When you play extreme aggressive styles and you have to cut through above the
other instruments in your band, Blackouts Metal are the call.
complete setup
There's only one version of Blackouts Metal, but you can dial up two very
different output levels (see below). Paired with our SFX-04 Twin Tube Mayhem,
Blackouts Metal pickups in high-output mode are so extreme, so brutal, and so
vicious, you might want to check with local law enforcement to make sure they're
legal. Not really. But you get the idea.
available mods
Use Blackouts Metal pickups in any humbucker-routed electric guitar. Includes
25K pots, stereo jack, battery clip, pin jumper (see below), and other mounting
hardware.
players
Blackouts Metal have a unique dual pin configuration on the underside of the
pickup for two modes of output: loud and louder. With the same
aggressive tonality in each mode, you now have a choice in output. With the
jumper removed, you have a high output bridge humbucker that’s still compatible
with a neck pickup or the clean channel on your amp. However, with the jumper in
place, you unleash all the raw power, incredible output, and untamed aggression.
The pins can also be wired to a mini-switch or push/pull, for an on board boost!
Not splitable. Available with black or white covers.
