  • Which Blackout Humbucker represents the Duncan designed HB-105 Best ?

    Hey guys,
    Yesterday i played the Duncan Designed HB 105 Active Pickup and i was kind of stunned of the Sound coming out of this lowbudget Guitar with this well lowbudget pickups.
    I wanted to build some of them in my guitar and after some research i found out, that the HB- 105 are based on the Blackout Humbucker.
    But There are three different Blackouts out there where i live (Germany) and i saw on the Tone Chart, that they are quiet different...
    My Question is with which one i go best (AHB1, 2 or 3) when i want to recreate this excellent Sound of the HB 105 especially under focus of the Clean Tone ?
    Greetings from the other Side of the Pond

    I've been told that the HB-105 is closer to the EMGs in terms of tone and the preamp. to get the real experience you need a real Duncan blackout.

    I've tried all of them and prefer the AHB-2 metal and the AHB-11s G fire over the rest, but that's just me, and I always loved the livewires metal too.
