Here's a few clips and a post I made at another forum to fill you guys in a little more:
https://soundcloud.com/josh-smith-965110242/sets/bareknuckle-impulse-demosGuitar i used is my seafoam green Jackson B7 pictured at the bottom of this post (27" scale, bolt on maple neck/ebony board, alder body with maple top, 550k bridge vol, 280k neck vol tuned F, A#, F, A#, D#, G, C with 12-82 kalium strings).
"While they look just like the blackhawks and cobras, looks can be deceiving! These babies have been designed from the ground up to suit baritone guitars and for guys that use big strings by myself. The neutral midrange we went for has meant that they work well in just about any guitar I've tried as a result though because no frequencies really stick out. The thing I love about them the most is while they handle that low tuned high gain stuff well with ease, they also excel at just about anything else you throw at them, especially mid-gain tones which is something that not many pickups geared towards this purpose can do. They're not really voiced as a "Djent" pickup set at all.
Output wise, to my ears they're about 20% cooler than the blackhawks.
The impulse bridge is c-hawk meets the rebel yell for everything high mids up and c-hawk meets emerald from everything below that. Retains the compression and "glue" you get in the blackhawks. It will give you controlled highs and lows which can be hard to control in a baritone, a consistent attack across all strings and plenty of thickness and sustain while remaining clear enough. It is by far the tightest sounding alnico I've ever heard.
The neck single coil is like none I've really heard before. It's got an extremely present and thick midrange with rolled off presence almost like a P90. Just enough bite without being harsh, plenty of cut and works great with both 500k and 250k pots. Enough power to keep up with the bridge and heaps of grind. The low end is big enough to capture the way a detuned guitar sounds but isn't boomy and is very tight. Never gets lost behind effects and has a relatively low noise floor.
The neck humbucker is like a cross between the blackhawk and VHII. It uses an asymmetric coil design to give great articulation, I wanted to capture that aspect of the single coil. It screams on lead tones, sustains for days and cleans up very well. Like both the bridge humbucker and neck single it also covers breakup tones very nicely. Sounds to my ears about as hot as the single. Split tones are unreal on this one."
