Seymour Duncan AHB-1s Blackouts, Set, Black Chr Pickup

Seymour Duncan AHB-1s Blackouts, Set, Black Chrome

The Seymour Duncan AHB-1s Blackouts deliver aggressive, articulate tones with exceptional clarity and punch. These 9-volt active humbuckers are engineered for modern metal and high-gain applications, offering tight low-end response and defined midrange presence that cuts through dense mixes. The set includes both neck and bridge pickups with all necessary hardware and installation components.

Tone & Active Electronics

Each pickup operates on a single 9-volt battery, providing consistent output and noise-free operation across all dynamic ranges. The Neck magnet (Alnico V Bar) and Bridge magnet (Ceramic Bar) are paired with tuned resonant peaks—750 kHz (Neck) and 530 kHz (Bridge)—to deliver balanced articulation without feedback or muddiness. The EQ circuit (Bass/Mid/Treble: 6/5/8) on both pickups remains neutral and transparent, preserving natural pick attack while controlling harmonic bloom.

Installation & Compatibility

Both pickups utilize blade magnets compatible with humbucker and Trembucker string spacing, ensuring flexible mounting options across different guitar architectures. The included three-conductor shielded cables and quick-connector connections streamline solderless installation, while the complete hardware package—potentiometers, capacitor, output jack, battery clip, and installation wire—provides everything needed for a professional setup.
