Title: A-Pig vs. C-Pig
Post by: Kfv_EPE on May 23, 2010, 03:09:27 AM
I have neckthrough ESP, neck is maple+rosewood, body is alder.
What Warpig would you recommend for the bridge position?
I'd like darker, fatter sound.
Thanks.  :)

the biggest noticeable difference between the two is that the C-Pig is more compressed, more focused, while the A-Pig is more open and organic.
both have the same character of take no prisoners.

i havent had the charvel together for a long while now, so i havent played them side by side yet :P though i should be done.. sone-ish.... when i get my tools that is hehe

I own both.
My impression is that the a pig sounds a lot like a Dimarzio Evolution crossed with a sd invader.
The C-pig is a bar-steward son between a Emg-81 and a sd invader.

I have Warpigs in my ESP Camo-Viper and a C-Pig in my gothic Paula.
Easiest to say is that the A-Pig sounds "warmer", the C-pig "colder".
I think I like the A-Pig better.

alot of people are into the c-pig as its the most 'br00talz' or whatever ;) but the alnico one is organic and has a great silly grin factor - it has a ridiculous amount of gain!

i never tried a c-pig actually in person, but the clips i heard have always been a bit cold to my ears. i'm sure its ideal for certain kinds of metal. the alnico version is actually a very versatile pickup.
