New Product - Mick Thomson EMTY Blackouts for 7-String

[Evan Skopp]

The pulverizing tone that defines Slipknot and Mick Thomson is now available in a 7-string pickup, just like our Original Blackouts. And like our Original Blackouts, 7-string EMTY pickups will be available in both Phase I and Phase II cover sizes.

Mick was already a Blackouts fan before we collaborated on his signature pickup. “Blackouts have a lot more tone than your typical active pickup,” he says. “They sound more real. It’s a bigger sound, with richer harmonics and a wider frequency range.”

EMTY Blackouts maintain those qualities, but they’re custom voiced to suit Mick’s signature low tunings. We’ve tightened the bass response for better low-end articulation, avoiding the “woofy” sound that can plague dropped tunings. Mick also requested more high-end “cut,” but without added harshness.

The result: EMTY Blackouts, an active pickup that has become a weapon of choice for metal guitarists worldwide. Now available for 7-string players.

Spam.


Oh wait, nevermind


Seriously, though, do these fit standard direct-mounted routes (assuming there is such a thing as "standard"), or would I have to hack my cavities?

Awesome!

Do they have ceramic or alnico magnets?

Badass ass - I always preferred these to Blackouts which I found have too much bass especially for 7s.
