Seymour Duncan reveals 7-string Mick Thomson Blackout pickups

<p><strong>PRESS RELEASE: The pulverizing tone that defines Slipknot and Mick Thomson is now available in a 7-string pickup, just like our regular Blackouts. </strong></p> <p>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." </p> <p>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. </p> <p>The result: EMTY Blackouts, an active pickup that has become a weapon of choice for metal guitarists worldwide. </p> <p>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Information taken from official press release, for more visit <a href="http://www.SeymourDuncan.com/mickblackouts">Seymour Duncan</a><br></strong></p> <p>-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------</p> <p><strong>Submit a press release: </strong>email <a href="mailto:musicradar.pressreleases[MENTION=17840]future[/MENTION]net.com">musicradar.pressreleases[MENTION=17840]future[/MENTION]net.com</a></p> <p><strong>Connect with MusicRadar: </strong>via <a href="http://twitter.com/MusicRadar">Twitter</a>, <a href="http://facebook.com/musicradar">Facebook</a> and <a href="http://www.youtube.com/musicradartv">YouTube</a></p> <p><strong>Get MusicRadar straight to your inbox: </strong><a href="http://www.musicradar.com/register">Sign up for the free weekly newsletter</a></p> <img src="http://cdn.mos.musicradar.com/images/Product%20News/Guitar/july12/seymour-duncan-emty-blackouts-7-string-full-460-100-200-70.jpg" width="200" alt="Seymour duncan 7-string mick thomson blackout emty pickups"> <a href="http://www.musicradar.com/news/guitars/seymour-duncan-reveals-7-string-mick-thomson-blackout-pickups-553858">Read more about Seymour Duncan reveals 7-string Mick Thomson Blackout pickups at MusicRadar.com</a><img width='1' height='1' src='http://rss.feedsportal.com/c/673/f/8601/s/218d7775/mf.gif' border='0'/><div class='mf-viral'><table border='0'><tr><td valign='middle'><a href="http://share.feedsportal.com/viral/sendEmail.cfm?lang=en&title=Seymour+Duncan+reveals+7-string+Mick+Thomson+Blackout+pickups&link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.musicradar.com%2Fnews%2Fguitars%2Fseymour-duncan-reveals-7-string-mick-thomson-blackout-pickups-553858" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/images/emailthis2.gif" border="0" /></a></td><td valign='middle'><a href="http://res.feedsportal.com/viral/bookmark.cfm?title=Seymour+Duncan+reveals+7-string+Mick+Thomson+Blackout+pickups&link=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.musicradar.com%2Fnews%2Fguitars%2Fseymour-duncan-reveals-7-string-mick-thomson-blackout-pickups-553858" target="_blank"><img src="http://res3.feedsportal.com/images/bookmark.gif" border="0" /></a></td></tr></table></div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/musicradar/all/news/~4/0ekYjJYOHQo" height="1" width="1"/>
