    Default Duncan Blackouts, lack of bite !!!

    I´ve got a Ibanet MTM1 with Blackouts but it lacks in treble/bite
    How coud i get more treble/bite out of my Blackouts ?
    Is it possible to change the volume pot to 250k for more treble??
    Or is it only possible on passive ones ?
    what should I do ?

    Raise the pickups a tad?

    Keep your pot values with what shipped with the blackouts... You'll get a bunch of mess if you raise them.

    Stoner Rock and Stoner Metal are interchangeable terms describing sub-genres of rock and metal music. Stoner rock is typically slow-to-mid tempo, low-tuned and bass-heavy. It incorporates elements of Psychedelic Rock, Blues-Rock and Doom Metal into a more repetitive and riff-centred style. Melodic vocals and 'retro' production are also common traits.

    no ; I think it is NOT the guitar ...
    TODAY i put an emg81 in it ....
    much more in your face , more treble, good mids but less bass .
    Used the 81 a long time before i went to passive ones.
    I thing thr blackout is much to balanced for me !

    I hear the Blackouts all the time. The Basslines series and the Seymour Duncan series, (Daddios band are using them). And those things are screamers! But you do have to have them adjusted to the strings just right.
