That was interresting. To me the Pig kicked the Invaders ass big time. Invader was so harsh, mushy and all in comparison.
The distortion held up better, but still lost. The AM had overall better quality and the top end did not have that horrible harshness.

All in all the BKPs won by quite a bit to me, though the Pig crushed itīs counterpart a lot more.
My fav sound was the AM, really like that bottom end.

If You Claim You Can Hear Any Difference In Tone You Are Full Of shite.

Sounds Like He Didn't Even Swap The Pickups And Just Recorded With Whatever His Favorite Is.

I must admit that I couldn't hear much difference in the rythm clips. Might be due to seeing the vid in my laptop. In the solo clips it was easier to hear the difference and to me the Warpig had the best tone here as I found it more organic than the other three pickups.

If You Claim You Can Hear Any Difference In Tone You Are Full Of shiteeee.

If you can't hear a difference between the Invader and the Aftermath, you seriously need to get your ears checked. I'm not even being facetious here. I am actually literally recommending that you see a doctor, because even on cheap computer speakers I immediately heard it. Through studio headphones it's a relatively drastic difference. I'm worried for you. (Also, please stop capitalizing every word.)

The Aftermath had way more detail. You can hear it in the pick attack, you can hear it in the immediate dryness. It's naturally squeaky tight, and the Duncans are mushy. The tone Keith is using isn't quite saturated enough to hide that. In the chugging part you can hear the immediate start/stop nature of the Aftermath's tightness. It also has a more open sounding midrange that's still angrier than the Duncans.

Whether any of this counts as something you want in your tone is a personal question, but for me, the Aftermath definitely has a lot more going on than the Duncans. The Warpig also sounds bigger and more intense, and has a thick pick attack that's still noticeable with this tone, even through computer speakers.

I really like the Warpig in this clip, followed by the Duncan Distortion, then Aftermath then Invader.

Warpig sounds the best to me and itīs most balanced...Second I like Duncan Distortion..Aftermath has no "sauce" and sounds a bit sterile... Invader sounds flubby and itīs like under blanket..Actualy this video has convinced me that I want Warpig so badly...Donīt listen it on PC speakers and simply use good studio headphones youīll nicely hear the difference...

Hm, I've relistened to this in HD and with my Beyerdynamic headphones; the differences aren't very big, still. The Warpig sounds best, but it's a bit scary how similar the Invader sounds on the chugs.
