Frequently asked questions
Do either of these require battery power?
The YJM FURY is entirely passive and needs no battery. The AS-1S Blackouts are active and require a 9V battery, included with a clip for easy installation.
Which is better for drop tunings and heavy rhythm work?
The AS-1S Blackouts are specifically engineered for drop tunings and deliver a more modern, punchy aggression with switchable high-gain output. The YJM FURY excels at lead definition and note separation but is not explicitly optimized for dropped tuning rhythm.
What's the tone difference between these two?
YJM FURY emphasizes treble bite and midrange punch with a resonant peak at 6.22 kHz (bridge), favoring articulate, snappy lead tones. AS-1S Blackouts use a dual-peak design (4.80 kHz neck/middle, 6.40 kHz bridge) that balances aggressive mids and defined highs for modern high-gain contexts. YJM FURY feels more traditionally 'single-coil' while AS-1S feels more modern and controlled.
Which offers more wiring flexibility?
YJM FURY includes four-conductor cables enabling series, parallel, and split wiring options. AS-1S Blackouts come as a drop-in set with fixed active circuitry and dual-pin output control but no alternate wiring configurations.
