Seymour Duncan AHB-1 Blackouts Active Humbucker Guitar Pickup Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I replaced the stock ESP LTD pickups in my LTD 251HM with Blackouts and they have turned a practice guitar into a scream machine.They have great dynamics and good balance with added lower mids which make my 5150 seem a great deal thicker.I would give them 5 stars but the electronics are completely disassembled.EMGs have some of the wiring done when you get them so they will take longer to install.The posts on the pots were wider than stock so I had to drill out the holes to make them fit.These can supposedly be swapped out with EMGs which I'm considering because they are superior to your standard EMG 81 85 set in tone.We'll see how the newer SD metal and EMG X series pups compare.It looks like there are a ton of new choices for actives and the quality of these pups I think re-energized the industry.

Product Description:
Seymour Duncan AHB1 Blackouts are the result of serious research.These 9-volt active humbuckers deliver a less compressed tone, with a more extended frequency response. In Duncan's efforts to solve the issues involved in achieving that goal, they discovered that some of the most popular active pickups have what they consider a design flaw in their circuit architecture.They use unbalanced inputs in a differential preamp. The problem is, an unbalanced differential preamp is not very effective at cancelling hum. Seymour Duncan engineers figured out how to capture the tone that players want in an active design, but using balanced inputs.The result is that not only do these Seymour Duncan Blackouts active humbuckers have less hum than the competition, but they also have more lows, more highs, and more output. Simply put, the Blackouts have more tone than other active pickups. Players will notice the benefits of the reduced hum when they record, especially if they're around computer monitors or fluorescent lighting. As for the benefits of having more tone, well those will be apparent everywhere.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.
