Ceramic warpig clip
« on: July 17, 2014, 02:19:16 AM »
Hey guys,

Thought I'd post a rough clip of my ceramic warpigs. Pretty much recorded this simply to get the idea down. Not perfect at all but might help give some people an idea of how these pickups can sound.
Ceramic warpig bridge (alnico neck for cleans) - esp sv standard -  Irig - agile 5150 digital amp for distortion - digital jaz chorus for cleans - garage band. Pretty simple setup, really only used to record ideas as I come up with them. Just a rough take.

I've recently purchased a caparison Dillinger (mahogany/walnut)and have just about watched every vid and listened to every clip on the net to try and decide on what pickups to get for it (emgs must go!). Hopefully this helps someone else in some small way. Thanks to everyone else for posting their clips.

As far as the caparison goes, I think I'm going to go for a set of calibrated juggernauts. I'm hesitant due to the lower output but hopefully the voicing makes them tight and aggressive enough, and I usually boost with a tube screamer anyway. Just need to save the cash. Selling the x box and play station!  :cry:

Cheers, brad.

Any opinions regarding the juggernaut/caparison Dillinger wm (drop c tuning,
Floyd rose, brass big block)?

Does anyone have experience with both the ceramic warpig set and the juggernaut set? Or changed from One to the other? Still trying to make my mind up...

I'm after a slightly clearer sound. Love the warpig but it can get a bit 'fluffy' on the bottom end in some situations.

I am so undecided. I'm beginning to lean toward sticking to a ceramic pig in the bridge (better the devil you know) and trying a juggernaut or cold sweat neck. I can not stand the emgs (funny because I used to love those pickups... I really don't like the high scr@pey chhi sound of the pick attack and they are  dull and lifeless)

For me to be happy with the juggernaut bridge it would have to - be tight and responsive, track lower notes well when trem picking (very important to me), do pinch harmonics easily, fat/chuggy percussive palm mutes and have a decent mid range 'grind' when ringing out cords.

Hmmmm...



Thanks in advance.
