Is a British metal voiced pickup, more mid range and tight bottom end. Sounds incredible.


Hummm , it sounds like the pickup i was making questions a few months when i join the forum

Tight Bass(more or equally tight as the MM?)
a LOT OF Middles(Excellent. ahahahah)
What about the Highs? can you tell me how they wilçl sound like? just an idea. I hope there´s enough highs to balance with the tight bass and lots of mids

BK already make the perfect NWOBHM pickup: the VHII.
This sounds like it's a more powermetal type of tone; should sound great in a Jackson, ESP, or Charvel thru an Engl Powerball ... now we know why Tim's got himself an Engl!!!!  PDT_006

Sounds like it's gonna be a killer pickup, and not a moment too soon!

Well, if we're talking about the "classic" age of metal, from which the namesake Painkiller comes, most American metal was very midrange scooped at that time: Metallica, Anthrax, Exodus, etc. The UK bands, like Priest, Maiden (except for the Jannick era), and others relied on that big, mean, midrange peak to melt your face off.

I've spoken a little with Tim about the PK, (hmmm, the BK PK...has a certain ring) and its a very powerfull pickup, sounds to me like easily modern output levels but with an old school brit metal JCM800-y vibe.  The defining thing seems to be its mids.

If the Painkiller has a similar midrange signature to the Crawler, I might want one for the Dean Z I'm GAS-ing for.
