Author Topic: Clips of MM and 'pigs set (finally!) (Read 13328 times)

Right, I know I've been saying for ages that I was gonna post a clip of my MM and warpig sets - finally got round to posting them :roll: .
The MM set is in an Epi LP and the 'pigs are in a gothic Epi V (pics of both are in other threads somewhere.
I recorded the same riffs with each guitar and doubled them up - apologies for the sloppy playing/general lack of quality!
Recorded through a Marshall JMP1 straight into Cubase, no bass guitar (to try to make the tone of each pickup as clear as possible).
Enjoy - comments/critisism very welcome (be gentle!).

Great tones and cool riffing.I never heard a JMP1 sound so good!

Excellent clips. Brutal tones. I don't think the playing is sloppy at all.

I liked the clips, but the quality isn´t good enough i guess, but it worth the effort. cool riffs and Excellent modern brutal Drumming
AHAHAHAH loved it.
i liked the warpigs better.

What do you mean the quality isnt good enough? Please explain WFD!

The recording sound quality, not the riff wise.

Hey, thanks for recording the same riffs with both pickups! It's cool to be able to hear a direct comparison like that.

The Pigs have a huge sound, eh? And the MMs sound more beefy than I expected them to, next to the Warpigs. Hmm. I hope I'll be happy when I install my Warpig! All the damn clips of other pickups are making me doubt my purchase. ;)

Good playing, too!

Thanks for the comments guys.

I understand what you mean about the quality of the recording - all I really did was plug my JMP1 straight into my soundcard (although its a fairly good card) so there is no natural room/mic sound and the drums were a bit rushed. And I didn't use any production (compression etc..) on the mix (added a bit of top end so its wasn't too dull).

After having the 2 sets of pups for a while, I've realised that I would be happy with any set of BKPs, I still can't decide which set I prefer. I've found the MMs are prob a bit better for faster down-tuned picking (fear factory-esque) and the 'pigs are better for chunkier riffs (machine head-ish?).

Searcher - you will definitely by happy with a Warpig.

Steve - I have an old, old zoom processor in the fx loop of the JMP1 which makes a huge difference. Really give it more power.

Good work!! They sound brutally good :D Great riffing too, there's nothing wrong with your playing, your a good player! Good recording too, better than i can achive! :twisted:

Can you hear much difference with the pups? They do sound quite similar to me in this clip. I'm sure they are very different though.

What did you use for the drums in cubase?

Edit yes i can hear the difference now, the warpigs have a bigger bottom end. I want some now!

Impressive stuff - sometimes I think about going over to the dark side( i.e. getting a guitar with h/bs).

nice tones, where about in leeds u from? I live in leeds im at LCM.

Nice one Maxingwell. Excellently done stuff, and it really does show the difference between the two pickups. Im guessing both were done with the same patch?

Keep up the good work!!

JamesHealey: How is LCM, what you doing there at the moment. Im hopefully going to be going there this year ( Sept ) for Music Production. How do you find it?

Really cool chops dude. Great sound. The Pig isn't quite as abbrasive as I thought it would be and the MM really cuts through. Mmmmmmm

Thanks so much for the comparison clips. I prefer the Warpigs sound in this example, and it's great to hear how much difference the pickup can make.

Now, if my Nailbomb would finally come in...

You make it so hard to decide between the two!

Good clips BTW.
