I was testing out my newest amp purchase today (at HIGH volume), my mate had his EMG81-loaded LP custom, I had my WP-loaded LP standard.

We were both surprised to find that the WP had noticeably more gain and sizzle than the EMGs. As if any more proof were required as to 'how' beastly the WP is then here it is :lol:

oh, btw - the Randall Titan is my newest amp purchase and it's silly loud, has that crushing low end I was looking for and the sweepable midrange lets you 'zone in' the midrange. I'm gonna play with my rack eq in the effects loop to tune it in 100%.

I'm using my own homebrew mosfet booster pedal in the front end for an extra kick too (heh)

Hey, where did my post go where I said that I found the opposite?

I found the opposite, btw.

To elaborate: the pig sounds much heavier and far bigger and louder, but not more gain or high end. Thats the same through a screamer, TSL and cube 30.

I had the pleasure to A/B the EMG81 and the Warpig. I still find the EMG a good pickup for what it's meant to do. The Warpig was better clean and with distortion it is simply way more brutal than the EMG. I sold the EMG loaded guitar, 'nuff said.

Yeah, I replaced the 81 with the pig with tremendous success. But I got more guitars since then and the 81 found its way back in. In a particularly dark mahogany guitar, and it sounds great. The pigs still better, but it has its uses, and I like it.

+1 on the clips!! Sounds like a great amp!

I can't really do a comparison since the EMG81s are in my mate's LEFTHANDED LP Custom. I can say that we both noticed that the WP had more gain than the 81 and also sounded more 'alive'.

I could do some clips of the Titan with the WP, not sure how great it will sound at low volume but I'll give it a gp - keep an eye out for some new clips.

As for the amp, yeah I couldn't give two $%&#s what anyone else says - I trust my own ears (I paid £300 for it). The amp (like many) doesn't really give you the goods at bedroom volume, once you get upto rehearsal volumes though - WOAH!!! :twisted:

I'm gonna need to upgrade the two G12Ms in my 4x12 though, this amp will blow those speakers soon as look at 'em :lol:

:twisted:

woah, how the hell did you get it for £300?! Thats mega cheap!

HTH AMPS · « **Reply #13 on:** April 12, 2006, 09:31:29 PM »

My mate (other guitarist in my band) got it off ebay for £370 - he was curious about Randalls.

We took it to a rehearsal room last Sunday to give it some volume and I liked it (alot). He offered to sell it for £300 (he prefers the JCM800 2204 I modded for him).

I'm 95% happy with the tone, I'm just playing with EQs in the loop to truely tune it in - same with OD pedals, got a few to try out in the front end just to juice it up a little more (heh).

Oh, I've ordered an ISP Decimator too based on the overwhelming thumbs up it seems to get from everyone.

:twisted:

How does the WP and EMG 81 compare for harmonics and the likes as well as top end?

thanks
