A really heavy piece of dark matter? Would that explain how heavy they are? :)

Pretty much!

Actually, most reportage on the Warpig seems to indicate that it cleans up surprising well. I think there are some clean Warpig clips from Ratrod lurking in the Players section .....

Im almost certain im getting a war pig now. Do they have more output than an emg81 ive heard both yes and no.

No they dont have as much gain as an 81, but its pretty close. MORE than enough gain for lamb of god (who dont really play with all that much gain anyway: its a fair bit, but its not silly levels)

The pig is much heavier and thicker than the 81. And it still has similar clarity and tightness.

Warpig and 81 cleans are not even comparable. The pig is a whole different ball park: its cleans arent "Good for a metal pickup", as you often hear about high gain pups, they're GOOD. End of. They might be "OK for a bare knuckle", but they're much batter than many lower output pickups that have a good reputation for clean (*chough* JB).

I think the pig would be perfect for you. Hell, you'd probably really like a miracle man, and thats supposed to have the worst BK clean (its still quite passable)

Im definately getting a pig then lol. I might even sell my 81s if its any good(well im almost sure it will be good) and put one in my warlock aswell.

I sold a Gibson Les Paul with an EMG-81 anniversary set because the cheapo BC Rich 'Fire Breather' Mockingbird with the Pig in it sounded better.

LMAO those body arts werent that bad i had one of the asassian models it was alright for a back up. Sold it though. Well swapped it for an electro acousitc. I carnt wait for this war pig now just got to wait for the guy to pay the rest of the moeny in the shop then the boss will give it me because the dude so far has only put a 50 quid deposist down on it.
