Description
Seymour Duncan BMP-1 Blackouts Modular Pre Long Pot
The BMP-1 is a compact, high-output preamp system built for players who need clean gain and transparent signal conditioning without compromise. This modular configuration gives you precise control over your tone with solderless connectivity and professional-grade components that integrate seamlessly into active pickup systems.
Signal Path & Connectivity
The high-output, low-noise Blackouts balanced differential preamp delivers transparent amplification with minimal noise floor, ideal for both studio tracking and live stage use. The bare-wire Lockdown connector stations eliminate solder joints on pickup connections, reducing assembly complexity and potential failure points while maintaining rock-solid signal integrity you can rely on night after night.
Control & Customization
An integrated volume pot with barewire lockdown system provides solderless output level adjustment, while the included three additional 25k potentiometers (long shaft variant) allow you to configure tone controls exactly as your instrument demands. The long-shaft design accommodates standard guitar/bass control cavity drilling patterns without modification.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does solderless mean, and why does it matter?
The BMP-1 uses bare-wire lockdown connectors instead of solder joints for all critical signal paths—pickup connections and the integrated volume potentiometer. This eliminates assembly complexity, reduces potential failure points, and makes installation faster and more reliable, especially valuable for live gigging and session work where signal integrity is non-negotiable.
Can I customize the tone controls on this preamp?
Yes. The BMP-1 includes three additional 25k potentiometers (long-shaft variant) beyond the integrated volume control, so you can configure tone shaping to your exact specifications. The long-shaft design fits standard guitar and bass control cavities without modification.
What kind of noise floor does this preamp have?
The Blackouts balanced differential preamp topology is engineered for a minimal noise floor and transparent signal conditioning, making it ideal for capturing clean, articulate signal in demanding recording and live environments without coloration.
How does this compare to other active pickup systems like EMG or Fishman Fluence?
The BMP-1 shares the high-output, low-noise architecture of competitors like the EMG 81/85 and Fishman Fluence Modern, but its modular design and solderless bare-wire connectors prioritize straightforward installation and customizable tone control over pre-wired pickup packages.
Will this work with extended-range guitars and basses?
Yes. The BMP-1 is designed to accommodate custom configurations across instrument architectures, making it suitable for standard and extended-range setups in both recording and live performance contexts.
