Frequently asked questions
Can I use both products together?
No. The SSL-7 is a passive single-coil pickup for Stratocasters, while the STC-2C-BO is a tone circuit module designed exclusively for active Blackouts pickup systems. They are incompatible and serve different purposes.
What guitar type does each fit?
The SSL-7 installs in standard Stratocaster single-coil pickup cavities. The STC-2C-BO is a control circuit module for guitars already equipped with Blackouts active pickups and limited control cavity space.
Which is better for rock and metal?
The SSL-7 is explicitly designed for rock, metal, and hard rock with high output and aggressive tone. The STC-2C-BO is a tone control for active systems and does not replace a pickup; it only shapes tone on existing Blackouts pickups.
Do either require soldering or special installation?
The SSL-7 is a plug-and-play pickup replacement requiring standard soldering skills. The STC-2C-BO integrates into an existing active Blackouts wiring harness and is designed for minimalist control layouts in crowded cavities.
