Eliot shits on Blackouts to me all the time. I was just curious.
There's this guy on youtube username "Samhillband" that owns some music store or something in Canada and he has a bunch of videos of him playing Suhr guitars with Blackouts through Suhr amps with the Axe-FX. His tone rapes.
The pickup booster rocks. I love to put it in the Low Input of the Butcher and then crank out some massive distortion thereafter. Honestly, I'd use that to get my distorted sound if that Crate could breakup properly, but it can't, so I'm stuck using the MXR Overdrive, too.
