Seymour Duncan blackouts, extremely clear, extremely quiet, you might not appreciate the power if you don't intend to play metal though.

did you compare the EMG active with those fender single coils..? hmm...
hmmm the blackouts got a good review for power but it didnt get a good review for riffing and rhythm work :???:
Why would you want to do so? EMGs are actives and the Fender SCs are passives - Totally different designs.

^ yes totally different designs. but junhao405 said EMG actives got "powerful clean tone" and it is even the "Best pickup for fender ever" (to him). so i was just asking if he had tried the fender single coils to compare the "powerful clean tone". yeah...

fender has those noise cancelling single coils. they sound like single coils but dont have that 60 cycle hum when you kick distortion(or even in clean).
seymour duncan, dimarzio, guitar fetish, lace sensor etc etc has these pickups too haha.
for passive humbuckers, im not too sure. when it gets noisy i just lower down the gain and play from there.
but i heard bareknuckle pickups got that quite open and refined tone? is that true? hahaha

Just got myself an SD AHB-2 Blackouts Metal. No regrets, beautiful wall of sound and dead quiet. Every note rings out too!

^ I tried them. no biggie, but if you want the output of active pups with the warm characteristics and dynamic headroom of a passive pup - consider the Dimarzio D-Activator X.
I a/bed the blackouts with the d-activator x....the latter had more headroom and interpreted picking dynamics better with less compression. Output was reduced slightly compared to the blackouts but pups are only a small part of the tonal equation....it isnt gonna make much of a difference if you'r using crappy pedals or amps.
