Fire Blackouts or Duncan Distortions

Re: Fire Blackouts or Duncan Distortions





I always liked the tone of the FIRE Blackouts but the Distortion just sounds great for anything heavy.

This audio comparison right here should say it all! Both sound awesome! To my ears, the distortion has a crisper top end and more upper mids.....very in your face! The FIRE blackouts have broader mids and obviously more heat/output.

Rough call....


The Distortion is my favorite Duncan ever. It;s in my number 1.

Then again, I LOVE the Balckout. And I hate Actives....


Honestly, If we are going raw metal, I have to say Distortion.

But, for an all around great pup - Blackout would be my choice.
 
Re: Fire Blackouts or Duncan Distortions

as previously said, the Distortion does it all.
I really like the tone of both those samples, and would be happy with either set I imagine.
But my favorite one and only has always been the SH-6. It gets my vote.
 
Re: Fire Blackouts or Duncan Distortions

It really isn't a "shootout" or even a comparison.

They are totally different pups. Diff EQ, Tone, Output, feel...

I like them both. They are different beasts. Dig on whatever sound works for you.
