BKP Juggernauts ?

[Brow]

I think these for me are going to be the same as the Blackhawk:

I could possibly dig them for the stuff I play, but about 99% of the clips done with these will be genres of music I don't play with more gain than I'll ever use, and highly likely to be modellers too. So I'll never get a true reflection of if they'll fit me or not.

On a more positive note: I think Tim's found a way to practically print money and can see these flying off the shelves in big numbers.

I'm also in the "not really my kind of music" camp, but what do you expect at my age?  Sorry! 

The clips don't tell me much, but I always find that with clips anyway - I never really get an idea of what something sounds like until I try it myself, in my own cack-handed way.

However, I must say Misha's written descriptions of what he wanted from the pickups sound really interesting.  They certainly appeal to me more than the Aftermaths or Black Hawks.

Thanks Misha and Nolly for the info, I too have found it very interesting and this pickup set sounds like something potentially interesting for a super strat type guitar for me if I ever go down that road.  The output figures are interesting.  They are similar to those for the Cold Sweat, except the neck and bridge are a little closer in output.

Now what I (and I assume quite some other people) would like to have are more clips of this PU doing more classic metal styles, see how it does with, say Hair Metal, Thrash and heavy metal.
Also some more midgain stuff so I can actually make out the mid character under distortion more, cause the current clips are too high gain for me to get a good idea of that.
Just a crunch clip would be great.

Actually that goes for most PUs, but here especially since you talk about mid gain stuff being good and that gets me interested, but there are only clean and high gain clips.

Actually I've noticed a few new clips popping up here and there, for example since I bought my first BKP a hair metal clip for the A-bomb has appeared on the site.  So I guess it is just a matter of getting around to them eventually.

whoops. Sorry about that I misread after just glancing across most of the posts. My bad.

no sweat, big guy

Woah, Bulb and Nolls left both their reply, good to have a legit reference. Now only thing we need to do is to wait for more clips to pop up where the pickups do a variety of different styles like it was mentioned before in this thread. Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean to diss the pickup; modern "djent" just isn't my cup of tea. Very interested in how the Ceramic and Alnico combination copes with Thrash, Death Metal and all the other old school genres  :)

I have hesitated for weeks by the choice between aftermath or blackhawk (and ceramic and alnico as well)

Jugernaut seems to suite my needs and I just placed an order for a calibrated 6 set.
The set will be replacing DiMarzio CL/LF and installed in a Caparison Dellinger II.

This is my forth BKP pickup and I'm sure I will be pleased by the result!

I kind a like that ceramic/alnico idea and also it has very modern voicing when riffing a pulm mute in the last metal clip demo.Somehow reminds me of Metallica`s Black album sound.But little more modern which is not bad thing at all.
I waiting for more clips too,I just do not like djent music at all,As progressive metal genre concern I`m a more into "old school"like Symphony X,Ayreon/Star One,Vanden Plas etc...

Somehow I think this pickups will be my best brigde choice.Juggernaut/Cold Sweat seems to me a very good combination.Dark modern riffing V.S. sharp shredding/vintage solo tone...And they`ll fit very well into mahogany and also extended scale and extra string guitars...I can`t wait waiting for Decembar to come..I wish I could order them know!

Cheers.

Check out what just got posted on the BKP facebook!
A song by Misha recorded with the Juggernauts!

First half isnīt even djent and it shows of some clean tones and mid gain lead on the bridge! Really interresting to hear and also a nice tune I feel. Some cool lead ideas in there, but it lost me when the djenty part came in.

Look into the description for more info!

Very nice Wall of Sound (copyright Devin Townsend) on the cleans and seems to be less dry and "in your face djent" sounding than the Aftermath in this particular clip, still waiting anxiously for sound samples showcasing other styles this pickup can do  :D

[apanboll]

Recieved my Juggernauts today, ordered open set with reversed neck
I've wired as John Petrucci's music man (EP1111 and push/push coilsplit)

Damn, these pups really screams. A perfect match for my dark Dellinger

[Kiichi]

Would love to hear more of your impression.

Please do consider writing a full review and perhaps even make some clips playing more classic metal and rock styles if you are able.
It would be most appreciated!

To me it sounds like BKPs take on Duncan Distortions/Black Winters. It has that sound to it. Obviously it will have BKPs own twist, but I think it's in that ballpark!

well, the black winter and nazgul are clearly based on the painkiller and aftermath, so that would be pointless

Nope...  Phil Spector  :lol:

Really?  Duncan are making BKP copies now?
