Now hard rock and metal guitarists can get the explosive power they demand without sacrificing the expressive, hair-trigger response of a great passive pickup.
Created for the electrifying young virtuoso Gus G. [Ozzy Osbourne, Firewind], the Gus G. FIRE Blackouts System includes a pair of traditional-looking humbucking pickups and a low-noise, high-output dual active preamp. Expect ferocious distortion and remarkable sustain, with strong note definition and a crisp, clear attack. It’s the most organic-sounding active pickup system you’ve ever heard.
The Gus G. FIRE Blackouts System includes two pickups handmade in Santa Barbara, California, and a U.S.A.-made Blackouts preamp that replaces one of the guitar’s volume pots. The preamp features the bare-wire lockdown system used in Seymour Duncan’s Liberator Solderless Pickup Change System, so players who already have active pickups in their guitar can install the new system using only the included screwdriver. The package also includes three 25K potentiometers for guitarists who are migrating from passive pickups.
“This system combines the massive tone, kick, and distortion of Blackouts with the rich tone and expressive feel of my favorite passive pickups,” says Gus. “It responds perfectly to all my picking techniques, and more of my personality comes through than with any active pickup I’ve tried."
The Gus G. FIRE Blackouts System communicates every nuance of your playing. You’ll hear your hands. You’ll hear your guitar. You’ll hear you.
Details:
• Combines active and passive. The Gus G. Fire Blackouts System is a matched set of two passive humbucking pickups and a dual preamp that replaces one of the guitar’s volume pots.
• Traditional humbucker design with individual pole pieces provides the note definition and string-to-string feel of passive pickups.
• Alnico 5 magnets deliver rich, detailed tones. The bridge pickup’s larger magnet adds more low-mids for fatter, fuller-sounding leads.
• Custom-wound coils create a remarkably open, airy sound.
• A high-output, low-noise differential dual preamp captures every nuance of the passive-style pickups—with plenty of headroom. Most other active preamps clip too easily, decimating your dynamics.
• Long battery life. A single 9-volt battery provides approximately 750 hours of playing time.
• Bare-wire lockdown connectors. Uses the same solderless connectors as our Liberator Pickup Change System. No soldering required if replacing existing active pickups. Screwdriver included.
• Includes three additional 25K potentiometers for users who are replacing passive pickups.
• Organic sound. Instead of tone that sounds as if it was created by a preamp, you’ll hear the wood of your guitar. You’ll hear your picking style. You’ll hear you.
The JB is designed for bridges with traditional string spacing of 1.925" or 48.9mm measured over the bridge pickup.
