I liked them on my 8-string (where did that thing get off to? ) but they are what convinced me that active pickups suck. It only took like two weeks :lol:. Just not my thing.
I liked the 707 in the bridge of my Hellraiser, but hated it in the neck. However on the Hellraiser, that was with my 2101, and really all I did was play high gain metal with it.
I think I'm in the same boat. I'm sure that for people who like actives, they're probably awesome. In my opinion, they managed to make a 2027 suck. :lol:
Have you tried DActivators? I really like them - they're awesome for metal, yet warm/articulate enough that you can back them off for lower gain stuff. Nice and crisp for cleans as well.
:lol: Difference in taste then. Blackouts are my favorite pickups out there. And I didn't care much for the DActivators (I didn't dislike them, but I didn't really like them either).
I actually really liked the Blackouts in the C7 ATX I had, and will most likely put them into a baritone guitar in the future (whatever the hell that ends up being).
This coming from someone who's never liked EMG's all that much, except for the SA's.
