Whats wrong with the warpig??
« on: April 28, 2006, 08:44:01 PM »
Has it ever occured to you that the warpig does not get the credability it may deserve?? It got a 5 stars from total guitar, while the miracle man got 4!!! Notice that in the gallery section, under Tims guitars, theres not a single guitar with warpigs.

So, everyone rants on about the miracle man and the nailbomb, while the warpig gets left behind. Is its uses so limited that it cannot be used for anything else than nu-metal, blackmetal and other extreme-metal genres.

Im just wondering, this is just my outside point of view, personly i dont have any experience with it.

Here in Aylesbury it's popular with my mate Will - he loves it, and gets a multitude of nice sounds out of it thru his new Matamp!

Im sorry if I seem quite fronting, I do not mean to make a direct verbal attack towards BKP or anyone else.

To me it just feels that the Warpig gets left behind. Maybe this is only due to the Warpig-customers satisfaction for their aquired pickup, that they dont need anything else, so they are not very active here on the forum?

The 'pig is badass, I think it gets discussed here more than any other pickup.  The cleans ain't great but the distorted tone is SO otherworldly that you don't mind.  Anyway, who buys a WP for clean tones?  :?

^well, I didn't exactly buy them for the cleans, but now I own them I prefer the cleans to the metal tones, personally.

no diss to the WP, but when I plug in my Tele for cleans its worlds better for anything clean than the WP in my LP.  shoe on the other foot though when I want some serious facemelting distortion.

I keep on coming back to my pig. I love it. I've had moments where I've just thought "Screw it, should I just put one in all my guitars?". Theres nothing I do that it cant do. Outstanding pickup.
