Seymour Duncan AHB-2B Blackouts Active Humbucker Pickup

Seymour Duncan AHB-2B Blackouts Active Humbucker Pickup

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. 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. 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.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!

Here’s how it works:
So you are thinking about purchasing a pickup but just not 100% sure it’s the right model for you. What do you do? Well, with Seymour Duncan®/Basslines®, as Mannys is an Authorised Seymour Duncan Dealer, you’re covered under our 21-Day Real World Exchange Policy TM.

You purchase your pickup and check it out carefully for up to three weeks with your own gear, in the places you normally play. Gigs, the studio, and your bedroom— wherever. In other words: “The Real World”. Does the pickup work for you? If it does, great! Enjoy!!! However, if you’re unhappy with it for any reason, you can exchange it for another Seymour Duncan model of the same value. Or, if you want to exchange it for one of a higher value and you pay the difference.
Some important things to remember. Make sure you take care of any Real World exchanges strictly within 21 days of your purchase. Make sure you have your original purchase receipt.
Also, make sure the pickup isn’t totally thrashed (please).
We only ask that you explain why you are not happy with the pickup. This is to help us to recommend a more appropriate pick-up. When we get it, provided everything checks out ok, we’ll exchange the pickup. That’s it!! Pretty easy, huh?
