APPLICATION: Hot but balanced single coil tone in a direct retrofit for Stratocaster® guitars. Ideal for heavy blues, classic rock, and heavy rock. DESCRIPTION : Blackouts Singles are voiced for heavy rock. They’ll drive your amp harder and they’re great for use with pedals or other signal processing. They’re perfect for everything from chunky rhythms to searing leads. COMPLETE SETUP : Blackouts Singles are available individually or in matched sets of three. Match Blackouts Singles with a high-gain pedal like the SFX-04 Twin Tube Mayhem or the SFX-08 Power Grid (available Spring 2008) for extreme heavy rock tones. GUITARS: Perfect for any electric guitar set up for a standard Stratocaster® pickup route. Includes 25K pots, stereo jack, battery clip and other mounting hardware. AVAILABLE MODS: Blackouts Singles have a unique dual pin configuration on the underside of the pickup for two modes of output: moderate and high-gain. With the jumper removed, you have a moderate output that’s still comparable to passive pickups. However, with the jumper in place, the output is significantly boosted, making Blackouts Singles compatible with full-size Blackouts humbuckers. The pins can also be wired to a mini-switch or push/pull, for an on board boost! Available with black or white covers.
