Title: Help choosing BKp to play death metal
Post by: dimdire on January 23, 2012, 10:51:33 PM: HI,

I'm new here, I heard about BK for a time now, I'm thinking in getting one for my main guitar. I play a Jackson RR24 (maple neck-thr with alder wings and ebony fret) --- Maxon OD-9 --- ENGL Powerball 2 --- Randall 4x12 loaded with 2 Cel v30's and 2 Cel G12T-75's. I'm looking to get a tone Hypocrisy like (new stuff "A Taste of Extreme Divinity", "Virus"). I was hopping that you could help me choosing the pick up.

I guess this thread should be in 'pickups'. Miracle Man or, with a bit more mids and less bass, C-Bomb. You could look at the Painkiller too if you detune heavily.

Post by: nfe on January 27, 2012, 10:18:29 AM: True story. I've pretty much always used boosts other than when I'm playing doom, but it's never been for extra gain.

Post by: dimdire on January 30, 2012, 08:02:54 PM: Frist of all, thank for all tour replies!

I boost brecasse it sounds beter imo, but i dont use any extra gain, the ENGL as a lot of gain!

So you say miracle man or ceramic war-pig right? I play in drop-C, so whisky should i use the miracle or why should i use the pic? Are they that different or not much diference what so ever?
