I tend to recommend the c-pig when someone wants complete balls to the wall destructiveness that also has clarity and tightness, or when the music they reference calls for a c-pig. I dont feel the stuff you've mentioned needs that sort of power, and would benefit from the greater clarity of a merely Very Hot pickup, rather than a psychopath.

Your doom endeavours would thank you for an a-pig though. The CNB, PK and MM arent very good at that - too precise, clear and tight.

Quite welcome mate.

Woa.

Now i am getting a little confused ... or wasn't i all the time ?

If i choose a pig then i get more in the FearFactory direction ?? If i listen to bands like Crowbar or Down there is not REALY insane brutality in the guitars ... though Crowbar guitar sound is realy awesome on some records ... hmmm ...

you see my journey is about to start again  :lol:

No. If you chose an a-pig (a stock warpig) you wouldnt get very near fear factory. My choices for that would be, in descending order

C-pig, because its very saturated, high gain, sharp and compressed
MM, because its pretty high gain, very sharp and quite saturated
PK in distant 3rd, because it has enough power, the right sort of overall eqing but its a very uncompressed pickup, and FF really needs that.

The normal warpig has the gain and compression for it but its attack is too soft and its not tight enough.

For that one hypothetical suggestion.

For crowbar I'd go for a warpig because of the shear thickness of its low end and warmer sound, and its not that tight a tone. Its overkill power wise, but you could get a great crowbar sound with a stock pig (a-pig). Second choice would be a nailbomb, which is tighter and middier and less aggressive, but it could still do that sound because its got about the right amount of power, and its a hot-but-warm pickup, like the c-pig. Third and 4th would be holy diver and ceramic nailbomb (because the c-bomb is a bit sweeter and warmer in the top end than most ceramics, it could get away with it)

See, dude, its not just the DC resistance and the descriptions on the product pages!

Wow. Thanks a lot.

That was what i want ... very convincing.

So i ll go and get a C-Pig and an A-Bomb to get best of both worlds  :shock:.
I think that ll do it for me.

Now i just have to got to know how to pay here  :lol:
