Seymour Duncan Blackouts Preamp BMP-1 pickup

Description

huendeskes
For sale: a Seymour Duncan BMP-1 Blackouts Modular Preamp.



It turns passive pickups into active ones, but it matters what you connect: according to the manufacturer, it provides 70% Blackouts sound and 30% the pickup's own sound. So you can have custom active pickups. It can control two 4-wire humbuckers, so they can also be wired for splitting. The volume pot is integrated with the small preamp, and you need to screw in the wires with a tiny screwdriver. This way, to change pickups, you only need to unscrew, allowing you to try out more things.



Box contents:

- BMP-1 Blackout Modular Preamp (integrated into volume pot)

- 25k push-pull tone pot with coil split

You can hear how it sounds in an Epiphone Les Paul Standard with a pair of cheap Wilkinson MWHBs (splittable, ceramic magnet) in my video below:



The neck pickup is splittable, you can hear it in the sound sample.
