They use EMG'S. Never seen or heard of them ever using bareknuckles. If you want their generic, sterile sound, go for them. Just my opinion!

Which AA Tone?
Stand up and scream or their actual release?

If you want that suas sound you could use a HD, CS, RY not overly much output but very clear sounding. Also depends in your guitar and amp!

The guitarist actually uses Seymour Duncans, lol. I never said nething about them using BKP. I'm looking for a tone that can play that kind of metal, but by Bare Knuckle. Any ideas?

I'm after a tone that's capable of playing both albums, tbh. I'll be in Drop C, btw. My guitar is a Les Paul and my amp is  a Bugera 333/Peavey 6505. I was thinking  the Aftermath originally, because it has a very Djenty tone when playing them fast,drop tuning riffs, in sync with the bass drum? What do you think?

The AA tone is not even remotely "djenty".
I'd recommend the Miracle Man
