Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Damocles Blackouts are active, high-gain humbuckers with a custom voice developed for Corey Beaulieu’s detuned progressive-metal approach. Ceramic magnets and an active preamp provide boosted output and defined individual notes. The voicing adds presence and clarity, while its scooped mids, ample low end, and smooth highs shape chugging passages and detailed lead work. The series is offered in both six- and seven-string versions, with passive- and active-mount options.
Strong match
Who this is for
