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.

Passive 5-string bass “soapbar” pickup with a double row of exposed Alnico pole pieces.
description
Same dual coil J-type pickup design found in some of the world’s best basses. The four conductor cable allows a wide variety of tonal options. Wire it in parallel mode for a slightly thickened single coil sound that is hum-cancelling; wire it in series mode for high output and maximum punch and fullness, or wire it in single coil mode for a true vintage Jazz Bass® sound. The Alnico 2 rod pole pieces provide a tone that is punchy and focused with a natural and smooth upper midrange. Compared to an active soapbar, the tone is warmer and more organic.
complete setup
Available individually or in a calibrated neck and bridge set.
basses
This pickup is a direct retrofit replacement for the 5-string EMG® 40. The bridge pickup is designed for basses with string spacing of 74mm and the neck pickup is designed for string spacing of 70mm (measured center of low B string to center of G string).

Santa Barbara, California - Some would argue that guitarists are a greedy bunch. They want it all. And they want it now. Two of things they want are the full and rich sound of a humbucker and the fat and clear tone of a vintage P-90. Five decades after the creation of Seth Lover's classic design, the humbucker pickup still reigns. It's the loud and proud sound of rock 'n roll from Zeppelin to black metal. And guitarists love the sound of the venerable P-90 single coil. Predecessor to the humbucker, the P-90 is the archetypal fat single coil that gave rise to the tones that birthed jazz, blues, rockabilly, and classic rock.
Until now, if a guitarist wanted both tones, either they would either have to install both a humbucker and a P-90 in different positions in the same guitar; or they'd have to haul two guitars to the gig. Enter P-Rails™, Seymour Duncan's newest pickup. It's a full-size humbucker that splits to a full-size P-90; and P-Rails are available in both neck and bridge-calibrated positions.
In a guitar setup for two humbuckers, a pair of P-Rails will give even the greediest guitarist the best of both humbucker and P-90 worlds. A single two-way switch (push-pull or mini-toggle) allows the player to switch between both full-size humbucker and P-90 sounds.
But the greediest guitarists would not be content with merely two great and as-yet unachievable tones in the same guitar. No... the greediest guitarists would also want the unmistakable chime and "cluck" of the legendary Stratocaster® as well. For them, P-Rails delivers, thanks to its Alnico-powered rail pickup. A three-way switch (DPDT on-off-on) brings in the added dimension of an authentic-sounding vintage Strat®. And, when both the neck and bridge rails are used together, the tone is reminiscent of the "2" and "4" sounds on a great Strat's five-way pickup selector switch.
P-Rails are available individually or in a neck and bridge set. Other than the addition of the switch, no other modification is necessary to achieve a wide variety of classic guitar tones. Like all Seymour Duncan pickups, P-Rails are hand-built in Duncan's Santa Barbara workshop.

High gain, solid state distortion stompbox capable of myriad tones thanks to a three-band active EQ section. Perfect for all genres of rock.
description
As a guitarist, when you need power, it’s generally because you want to lay down chunky rhythms or you need to bust out a blazing solo. Enter the Power Grid, Seymour Duncan’s newest stompbox, which is designed to provide powerful overdrive and distortion suitable for rhythm and lead playing, thanks to five stages of class A, discrete circuitry, which are cascaded to provide nearly 100dB of gain. Now that’s power!
But the Power Grid is not an untamed beast. All this raw horsepower is managed by a multi-element gain and volume control system that allows fine control. For example, if you crank the gain, you’ll get a very thick, saturated “Modded British” distortion, reminiscent of the big guitar sounds that defined metal. But if you back the gain off, you’ll get a very responsive “crunch” distortion similar to the Rhythm Channel on the SFX-03 Twin Tube Classic. And in between there are myriad levels of overdrive and distortion.
With the Power Grid, your tone is further refined thanks to a three bands of active EQ. Each band allows for up to 12dB of boost or cut at frequencies selected for maximum control of the electric guitar. This allows you to create tones with a far greater degree of surgical precision than what’s possible with any distortion pedal with passive EQ. With all the power and control built into the SFX-08 Power Grid, it could just be the last distortion pedal you buy. Ever!
