Blackouts Metal are the active bridge pickup for metal players who will accept nothing less than the highest output.
The Blackouts Metal humbucker is the reincarnation of Duncan's original LiveWire Metal humbucker. With its infamous brain melting output level and headroom, this pickup is so hot that they added a feature that gives you access to a second, moderate, output level.
The Blackouts Metal comes from the factory with a slide-on shunt connecting the two pins. Simply remove the shunt and the pickup will be in moderate output mode. You can also run the two pins to a pushpull or mini-toggle switch so you can switch between the two output levels for a built-in boost switch. This pickup is thick and crunchy, and will provide a massively saturated distortion tone with tons of string sensitivity.
Comes with pots, hardware, quick-connector cables, capacitor (active pickups require a special cap value), output jack, battery clip, and wire needed for installation.
