Pulverize With Increased Low-End Tightness

Dialed in for the needs of contemporary alternative metal guitarists, the Seymour Duncan Alt.Metal Blackouts deliver tighter low-end response compared to the original Blackouts. This makes them perfect for those crushing riffs and chugs tuned down to depths that shake your bones. The enhanced low-end tightness adds serious punch and impact to your sound, especially when palm muting. No more flub or looseness, even when you drop all the way down to A or G#. The Alt.Metal Blackouts help you harness the power of low tunings by keeping your tone focused and articulate.

Cut Through the Mix With Added Top-End Bite

In addition to the improved low-end tightness, the Alt.Metal Blackouts add some extra top-end bite to your tone. This helps your riffs and leads cut through a dense, heavy mix with a band. The crisp high-end sizzle lets your aggressive rhythm chops and soaring solos sing out above a thundering wall of bass and drums. And Seymour Duncan voiced the pickups to add these upper harmonics without crossing over into harsh or icepicky territory. The Alt.Metal Blackouts give you the lively top-end you need for leads without fatiguing your ears.
