Seymour DuncanAlt.Metal Blackouts 7-String Active Mount Humbucker Pickup Black Set
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Alt.Metal Blackouts are a black active-mount humbucker set for 7-string guitars, pairing a customized bridge pickup with a customized neck pickup. The bridge is tuned toward percussive attack, controlled low tunings and aggressive midrange bite; the neck keeps clean tones articulated, then adds midrange snarl and singing sustain under high gain. The set uses an active soapbar mount, includes mounting hardware and connects to a 9V battery without soldering.
Strong match
Who this is for
- 7-string alternative-metal rigs built around low tunings, palm-muted rhythm parts and high-gain leads.
- Multi-guitar metal mixes where the bridge pickup’s aggressive mids need to cut through.
- Players wanting articulated neck-position cleans alongside high-gain sustain and midrange snarl.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Guitars that do not use the specified 7-string active soapbar mount.
- Passive-mount pickup installations.
