Yea it is, I have them and yea these are those renamed. They legit do the same exact thing. Maybe they tweaked some things but I can’t imagine they spent the extra time and $ to do that 😂
@@andysixxlett2632 can you link to the video? I’ve followed fluff for years he talks about the benefits and differences of this pickup and that pickup all the time. I’d be curious to see this
I love Duncans, they sound aggressive and precise, when I stop forgetting to change the battery, I will definitely try these active ones xD, I am very happy with Nazgul on my 7-string and with Pegasus on the six-string baritone \m/
@@shawngraham4075 Thanks for your advice, until recently I tried some Fishman Fluence with the rechargeable battery. I think it's great how they are moving forward with the issue of batteries, but in general active humbuckers are not my thing at the moment =)
It's less cringe than calling them "Nu Metal" if these are actually rebranded Mick Thomson Blackouts. Also, there's a lot of good "alt metal" bands out there such as Deftones, Tool, Chevelle, etc.
Mick Thomson EMTY set rebranded 🤫
I thought that too
I do believe so

@@mattlombardi54 I have them too in my Jackson SL2 Mick's signature and the only thing missing is the "SEVEN" logo on the sides 😆😆
Or the dino set from fear factory. Or Corey from trivium. I believe all 3 signature sets has the S in the middle of the pickups.
Very clever using a Jim Root jazzmaster for this.
I know it's mainly for heavy tones and chugging, but that neck clean tone is nice.
are these just the "7"pickups renamed after mick went to fishman
I’d say so since they sound identical to my Mick Thompson set lol
Yeah they are except the bridge is a ceramic magnet rather than alnico like the MT
@@colelewis9940 looks like you're right. I always thought it was.
@@colelewis9940 perhaps you're right
30 years old, been using Duncans since I was 14.
These are similar to the MT but there's some differences in the chugginess and they clean up a lot better than the MT set does at least to my ears
Didn’t fluff just say that Pickups don’t matter and don’t impact tone? Probably not a good person to endorse your product.
I thought that was Glenn? Fluff has had like 2 signature pickup sets
Fluff would never you’re thinking of somebody else (I assume Fricker)
Nope, it was definetly fluff. Not Glenn

Im very happy about this the EMTY are my favorites better than Fluence modern to me and way better than Loomis blackouts.
Just in time for my jazzmaster build…I’ll be having that please
Those sounds great!
Sooooo micks emty pickups jest renamed. I’m cool with this because I love the pickup set

If you unplug your guitar it doesn't drain the battery.

I was a passive pickup guy up until I heard these... omg... OMG........ OMFG......
Duncan sold!?
Where is it?
Are you looking for the alt.metal pickups? You can buy those here: www.seymourduncan.com/single-product/alt-metal-blackouts
Do you think these will sound good in a Les Paul Epiphone?
Oh, absolutely!
I think the logos need to be bigger.
Yeah, we need to be able to see them from space...and who doesn't want an "ss" on their guitar 🙄
Umm......MT much
Something about the name Alt rubs me the wrong way. As if it's not as good.
