So I installed Seymour Duncan Blackouts in my Petrucci EBMM

[philb]

I'm not sure I like them
the mids are very strong, to a point that it sounds honky and the highs are kinda muffled.
On the other hand, it may be that it's such a change that I need time to get used to it.

I also noticed that the amp character is affected to a certain extent (coloring of the tone)

It sounds heavy as hell though

I had been thinking about doing this lately. Where did you have it done? Doesn't some routing have to take place on the EBMM guitars in order for them to fit?

I used to have them in my esp m255

I didn't like them either
primarily for the same reason

I think I have to give it more time.
I'll have to record some clips with them and play with the guitar in a band context and see.

I just think i need a new amp

-facepalm-

I'm really digging the Blackouts in my Schecter. I didn't know if I'd like getting back into the active pickups, but they do sound HEAVY!
