Why in the heck I hadn't been made aware of the pickups before is very strange. This is one very high output pickup. Sounds with both Plexi amps were noticeably higher output but they did not translate into throwing any additional gain into the amps tone that I could tell over the old pickup. So while a noticed one hell of a pick attack from those amps with the WarPig I am surprised the higher gain wasn't very noticeable with either Plexi, it is there just not gobs of it. Their ability to clean up is really the benchmark of these pickups, for as high output as they are they clean up great.
Now the same guitar with the Vintage modern in HDR I got into some insane output, the 2466 with the higher output WarPig really amplified over what the stock pickup was. There is almost a Diezel type tone of high gain that the amp gets with this pickup. LOVE IT. I was also surprised that for as hot as the pickup is the feedback was no more than what the old stock pickup was. Oh, and while I rarely do the pinch harmonics (cheesy) it can be done with ease using the WarPig. Perhaps someone can explain why both Plexis really didn't show more "bite" but the VM did?
My guitar tech had to do a slight bit of routing to make it fit perfect but he did a fantastic job on the setup for sure.
Thumbs up to BareKnuckles, great pickups. I think I now have my metal guitar. And thank you Lungo for recommending them to me. Here is a pic of the guitar with the new Warpig installed in the bridge; the neck is a DiMarzio Air Norton.
