Warm and fuzzy. .gif "unstrung") My limited personal experience with the Blackouts is that they're much less harsh than EMG 81s; a fuller sounding (better sounding) pickup.

That was awesome. I loved the tone. Were you using any plugins? |

Hell yeah thanks guys  It sounds a lot fuller and warmer in the room too - its crazy because to me they dont even sound like active pickups, at least not what I'm used to hearing with EMG's. For plugins I was using Kefir to load Catharsis impulses, and ampeg SVX for the bass. Little bit of TC M30 reverb and Voxengo Overtone EQ on the lead riff. |

This. My metalhead friend put them in his Shred-X Explorer and it was an immediate and massive improvement in his tone from the stock pickups. Part of me wants to hear the Blackouts in a less gainy setting (other than totally pristine metalcleans) to get a better feel for 'em, how they compare to passives otherwise. They seem a better pickup than 81s all around. Anyone done a side-by-side with them and 85s? That might be a better comparison, because they  on 81s.

I haven't done a side by side comparison but I used the 85 for years in my main axe (my Cali) and always thought it stomped the 81 for the stuff I do. It was by far my favorite active pickup but I think I like this EMTY even better - it has a bit less bass than the 85 but still plenty and it stays uber tight. My roommate got the AMT V1 Vox preamp pedal and I've been wanting to do a clip with it - maybe I'll do one with the AMT and the EMTY pickup - that would be a real mindfuck

I like that tone a lot. Very thick and meaty... the polar opposite of the tones I usually go for/end up with. |

I get thick tones sometimes, yes, but most of my tones are more in the "aural sodomy" area. You know, high mids, treble, super tight, and twangy. That's the noise I want my guitar to make, hence having a main guitar with a maple body, maple neck, and maple fretboard. I wasn't insulting myself, more like comparing Tussy Hole to myself, and complimenting him in the process. |

I think of MF's toans as having a low mid as fat as my ass, with some gnashing high mids also. |

Low mids as fat as your ass are good. |
