In Fluence Y'all
Everyone wants to hear Blackouts. They're currently in use by some top level artists but the albums being recorded are not released yet. In the mean time we've got some clips filtering in from early users, but some of you want more. The reality is that everyone we send them to within 2-5 minutes says "I want them in all my guitars, I'm replacing all my (insert previously used pickup here) immediately." But you'll each have to try them yourselves to really feel the difference.
In an attempt to put more sound out there into the airwaves I've made a very basic clip of the Blackouts into a Rectifier. I used nothing between the guitar and the amp. I used the Rectifier middle channel, modern position, and the gain is only between 2-3 o'clock. The EQ is set to a slight "Vee" and the cabinet is a Marshall with Vintage 30's. I used an SM58 (yes not a 57) and went straight in.
The beginning is the raw sound. Then in the computer I applied a little EQ shaping, went into some classic metal riffing, then after awhile in comes some stereo imaging and it gets a little um.. "wild" if you know what I mean. Then it sort of rhythms out and at the end you all can judge the clarity and punch of the Blackout as it gets faster and faster. If I do that rapid-fire picking with most any other pickups all the pick attacks run together (they do to a point with any pickup) but on these at least you can hear the Blackouts hold their notes together.
This is just one snippet of one setup (Recto into Marshall V30) The Recto is big on white noise fizz, where say a Hughes & Kettner or something else will react differently. But most of you know what a Recto is like so it's a good reference point.
