In addition to the improved low-end tightness, the Alt.Metal Blackouts add some extra top-end bite to your tone. This helps your riffs and leads cut through a dense, heavy mix with a band. The crisp high-end sizzle lets your aggressive rhythm chops and soaring solos sing out above a thundering wall of bass and drums. And Seymour Duncan voiced the pickups to add these upper harmonics without crossing over into harsh or icepicky territory. The Alt.Metal Blackouts give you the lively top-end you need for leads without fatiguing your ears.
