Frequently asked questions
What's the key difference between active and passive pickups here?
The Jupiter is passive and operates without a battery, relying on magnetic field alone. The Blackouts are active and require battery power to amplify the signal, delivering louder, more defined output especially in dense mixes.
Will the Jupiter fit my 7-string guitar?
No. The Jupiter is designed for 6-string guitars. The Blackouts are engineered specifically for 7-string passive mount configurations with proper string spacing and response across all seven strings.
Do I need to buy additional wiring or hardware with the Jupiter?
Yes. The Jupiter is pickups only with 4-conductor wiring for coil-splitting. You will need to source pots, switch, jack, and wiring harness separately. The Blackouts include all electronics and wiring as a complete package.
Which pickup set is better for metal and high-gain styles?
Both excel in metal, but they suit different instruments. The Jupiter delivers articulate high-gain tone for 6-string metal guitars. The Blackouts are optimized for 7-string metal and djent, with active electronics for maximum clarity in dense, down-tuned mixes.
