BKP Juggernauts ?

[Cam_H]

I have to say, never judge a book by it's cover. After the latest Misha vid, they sound incredible. Definitely nothing like the Distortion afterall. I'd love to try a set of these. I really look forward to hearing more clips and how they respond in different guitars :)

Just seen the Dimarzio site. It seems Jake Bowen from Periphery has his own new set of signature pickups called the Titan. So seems both the Juggernaut and Titan were both released simultaneously by both companies. Will be interesting to see how these compare as they're both from Periphery

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

Not to mention neither one of those pickups were out when Tim and I started work on this one.  The design was aspiring to do something new rather than cover ground that had already been tread.

Here is a video for those of you who wanted a more in-depth video on my new signature Bare Knuckle Pickups Juggernaut set, as well as a chance to hear it through some raw tones (clean, mid gain and high gain on several pickup positions):

i really like the way these are showcased in the new video. thanks for helpin us get a better idea misha.

That was very helpful Misha, thanks a load!

I think you might have just sold me that PU. I am still a little caucious, but mostly cause it seems a little too good to be true, as it just seems to do what I want out of a modern metal PU so well.

Now I just need a baritone axe and these...oh the money...

Thank you Misha, that was a very helpful video.

Would you say these pickups are more for a bright sounding guitar, like a superstrat, rather than a fat and dark sounding Les Paul?

My personal problem is that I'm becoming more and more confused what the differences between Miracle Man, Painkiller, Aftermath, Blackhawk and now the Juggernaut are. It seems that they might be fairly subtle.

+1 I really want to try the Juggernauts but unsure which guitar to try them in to get a better feel of what they are capable of. I know Tim said on Facebook that the work well in ESP Eclipses, but I'd be interested to hear how they respond to Superstrats and especially Basswood guitars like the RG series or Musicman JP6 series. Hey even the JP12 which I guess has more of a les Paul warmth to it.

you guys could always send tim an email too. they know just as well what guitar will really suit the juggernaut in what way you're lookin for

The Jackson in the video has a Basswood body.  They were also tested rather heavily in korina, mahogany and ash bodied guitars as well.  The Juggs seriously sound amazing in all of those woods!

i love that blue jackson. also very cool that it was tested in so many different situations

To be honest Im getting more and more concerned about those pickups. Things that bought me were clean tones (in my opinion one of the best out of contemporary section, way better than HD for example) and lead neck tone.
Wooaah! Heavy lead demo is purely insane and immense.
The newest video uploaded by Misha gives more info about what those beauties are capable of, but still Im not convinced 100%. My main concern would be that LEAD neck tone. Hope it`s not too messy and tight enough for screaming leads, sweep picking ect.. They are like that on 'heavy lead demo' but not as much on newest video.

Any thoughts?
 Still waiting for more samples.
Cheers.

Are they gonna make 8 string juggernauts?

I believe they mentioned somewhere that it is being worked on and should be released at some point.

yes. i've definitely read that multiple times. as far as i know, theres no scheduled date of release for them but knowing BKP it wont be very long.
