So my Agile Septor Elite with SD Blackouts Phase II's arrived yesterday and while they are excellent pickups I've noticed that they seem to be noisier than the EMG 81-7/60-7 in my Ibby 7321 and also the EMG 81/85 in my Schecter C-1 Hellraiser.
What I want to know is, is there any reason why...
After months of waiting, it has arrived!...
Specs:
27 inch scale
Neck-thru
Seymour Duncan Blackouts Phase II PUPS
Tribal Green finish
Hipshot 7 Bridge
Now on to the pics...
**EDIT - File link updated with audio of the neck Blackout in the bridge position and versions with just the guitars, no drums.
I quickly threw together 4 generic riffs for a 40 second recording comparing the EMG85 in the bridge position of my BC Rich Warlock Deluxe and the newly installed...
Hey all,
To get straight to the point...I bought a Hellraiser C-7 off of ebay, the ad said it has EMG 707s, which are stock on the Hellraiser only it has some sort of Seymour Duncans. Now, they are active so I assume they are the Blackouts...but I'm a noob in this area. All in all they sound...

Accessories (hardshell case etc)...
Can anyone help me out? What are the big differences in sound? I like to have a slightly more treble then bass, but I would still like to have a nice chugging sound. Can someone just tell me the differences in the 2 pickups? thanks :shred:
Sorry for the crappy cell phone pics but its all I have ATM.
So I just got home from work and the UPS man left me a present!
Gonna need something excessive to open this thing.....AHHH this will do
Easy does it
Alright, got some fresh strings:shred:
Hmmmm whats this hiding...
Alright guys, I got this done yesterday cuz it snowed over here so I didn't go to work. I have seen a lot of threads talking about the Phase 1 Blackouts, but I hadn't seen an install thread. Well here it is, my NGD might help some people instead of just being a showoff thread.
First I have a...
So.. been thinking about getting new p'ups for my xpt700 for a while now. The decisions coming down to
A.) sticking with the D-activators
B.) EMG 81/85s
C.) SD Blackouts.
I was dead set on the emg's for a little while, but now I'm reconsidering because for one thing i want to still have a...
I just completed a trade with forum member cyril V, who was awesome to deal with by the way. I just got home from work and this is what I had waiting for me (besides my roomies annoying girlfriend lol)
I was taunted by the Yuengling box, we can't buy it here in Ohio!!!
Pulled out the case...
Hi. I've some kind of problem with feedback in my and my other guitarist's guitar. We have replaced our stock pickups with SD Blackouts 7 Phase 1
and we both have serious issues with feedback.
I use maxon od 808 with ISP decimator throught the mesa triple rectifier and orange PPC412 with...
I want to either sell this to fund a SD Blackout to replace my middle pick-up in my SC 607 (just for shits and giggles) or do a straight up trade.

So, after wanting one of these for however long they've been in existence, finally sold my RG7620 and a few other extraneous parts and bought me a used Hornet 7 Pro, from Renegadedave. There are a few finish scratches from stuff he did, and I made a little mark on the front of the body adjusting...
Hey guys, just got a set of blackouts for my RG7420, I just downloaded the wiring diagram and was gonna make sure I got everything I need:
But I noticed the switch in the diagram, and I think it's supposed to be a traditional les paul style 3-way toggle, like this:
Now my RG7420...
Hey all,
I'm a fairly new member, always shy about posting, but I've read about a million pages, lol. Been playing guitar for about 15 years now off and on. Played lots in high school, then almost not at all thru college. After settling down a bit, I've started playing again.
Yeah who cares...
Hello All.
I'm planning on buying an Agile Septor 727:shred: and I'm not sure what pups I should replace the allegedly crappy stock pups with.
I am using Blackouts in my Agile Baritone right now and they sound awesome. However, I wanted to put out this thread for suggestions before I throw...
:lol:
I'm pretty sure a lot of you have seen this already because of these threads: Question About Jackson COW 7 String, and Neck Pickup in a COW7 but here are some good pictures of the guitar:
(those silver screws are starting to bother me)
(aww it's my kitty :wub:)
The new route is...
I don't think this was posted already, pardon me if it has but I didn't see it after searching a few pages! :D
Looks like Seymour Duncan had the same idea of putting out the blackouts with gold, nickel and black nickel tops. :rofl: Nice try, EMG.... maybe next year you guys should retaliate...
