Product Description

Greek shred titan Gus G. (Firewind, Ozzy Osbourne) has launched his own electric guitar pickup company — Blackfire. After years of development and multiple prototypes tested to their limits, Blackfire are ready to take your sound to the next level with its high-output active/passive humbucker offerings.

Promising "solid, uncompromising tone", in Gus' own words, the modern virtuoso's visionary pickups are solely-designed for rock and metal players who seek high-octane, hair-raising sonics!

Proteus - Active Design, Mighty Tone

The Blackfire Proteus — named after the mythical Greek sea-god — is a powerful active humbucking pickup made to meet the needs of contemporary, heavy-centric guitarists who like a tight, dynamic sound that's responsive to picking attack and dripping with gorgeous tone. This Proteus set covers all of the bases, featuring an aggressively-voiced bridge pickup made for red-hot thrash riffs, and a warm-sounding neck humbucker perfectly-tuned for liquid leads.

A balanced EQ curve and rich harmonics make these pickups excel through high-gain amplifiers, especially with their low-noise preamp minimising hiss and feedback for quiet operation. Proteus pickups are far from one-trick ponies though, as these humbuckers emit articulate and precise clean sounds that give you plenty of tonal versatility overall.
