Can the warpig do tight rhythm and strong lead sounds?

[subete]

Proberly. But im making sure. You see i liked the Miricle man but it seems like its got bad cleans. And i like cleans. But i also like high gain tight distortion that makes every powerchord seem like a punch to the face, but leads sing and full of body. Maybe there's another pick up that would be more sutible but any help?

I really have had no problem running the Miracle Man on clean tones. It's in a maple guitar, tho, and may respond differently depending on the murkiness of the guitar's tone wood.

[subete]

Well mines mahogony with a maple cap so i dunno.

The clean sound of the Warpig is just about the best I ever heard coming out of a metal humbucker. I'm a rythm player mostly and I can assure you that it feels right at home doing powerchords, riffage etc. Nice and sweet on solo's, almost bluesy.

I've said it before: James Hetfield should have these :twisted:

[subete]

Bluesy you say? excellent. I think i might just have to get one.

[TwilightOdyssey]

I wonder if Hetfield could play without anything to hide behind?
His tone has never been 'transparent' if you know what I mean. ;)

The Miracle Man calibrated set has an alnico V magnet in the neck pickup.  This gives a great clean blues sound if you want it.  The ceramic magnet is a monster, but with lots of harmonics and a ton of tone.  It can clean up nicely too.

The Warpigs are amazing.  I am just trying to think of a guitar to put them on!  I was thinking of my 87 PRS Standard, but I actually like the sound of it  :lol:

Well i have a shecter c classic. And the sd jb/jazz are all good but alas needs more balls.

If I could choose one guitar that would work best with Warpigs it would have to be a flat black explorer :twisted:

You can take a metal humbucker w/ 4-conductor cable and then split it/switch to parallel when cleans are needed.

Wouldn't Nailbombs go great with that guitar?

The JB/Jazz is the 'go-to' Duncan set, and I've always thought it sounded like cr.ap, LOL. The Demon is the only Duncan pup that holds any truck, imo.

Hmm why ya say that? i listnend to it and it seemed too pantera like. Almost tame, like the sounds spread out not tightly together.

[Marooned Messiah]

I'm gonna be picking up a Dean Razorback soon (enough) which one of these 'collaborations' would work best with it, bridge-'Miracle Man', neck-'Crawler' or bridge-'Warpig', neck-'Crawler'.
Any other suggestions also welcome.

Those big reverse picked chords sound huge IMHO. I found the palm muted powerchords sounded nice and tight. The Warpig is a lot tighter and chunkier on palm muted powerchords. :twisted:  So if that's what you want, the Warpig is The One. I was just exploring options. Both these pickups seem to be able to make chords stand out in a band situation but they do it in their own unique way.
