output similar
miracle man more bass, lower mid, slightly smoother highs
PK more upper mid, cuts through better in a live mix, extremly articulate, note separation is incredible, whereas MM sounds a little smoother in the midrange
both do pinch harmonics well
both pretty aggressive pickups, especially when you use a boost
painkiller neck most modern sounding out of all of them, more single coilish, drier, extreeeeemely articulate for shreddy leads and unforgiving, mm neck more fuller sounding with more sustain, both similarly compressed
coil split for cleans mm neck sounds the best
for alexi's tone, definitely the painkiller
chugga chugga- both rule!
old mm clip i did
