Frequently asked questions
What's the main difference between these two pickups?
The 7-string version is built for extended-range instruments and includes an active preamp with noise reduction, while the standard version is a passive pickup designed for conventional 6-string guitars with four-conductor wiring for coil-splitting.
Can I use the 7-string model in a 6-string guitar?
The 7-string Blackout is physically configured for 7-string instruments; installing it in a 6-string guitar would require extensive modification and is not recommended. The standard Blackout is the appropriate choice for 6-string guitars.
Which has lower noise?
The 7-string version features an integrated active preamp specifically designed for noise reduction and dynamic frequency shaping. The standard version uses overwound passive coils which have typical passive-design noise characteristics.
Do either of these support coil-splitting?
The standard Blackout features four-conductor wiring that enables coil-splitting capability. The 7-string version does not specify coil-splitting functionality in its active design.
