Warwolf extreme metal pickup – set is a brutal, hard hitting humbucker pickup set designed for extreme metal in drop tunings. Here is the full blog on the development, sound samples and details for the Warwolf

Richie Simpson helped with fine tuning the Warwolf prototypes, if you’re interested in the development process in full please see the blog. Here’s Richie’s take on the final product:

“This is what I’ve been after for a LONG time.

When you bend a note on these pickups you don’t get strings dropping out as they pass over different bobbins, or if other strings are ringing out they’re not cutting through the bending string signal and vice versa. That’s the beauty of Glyn’s rail design.

The magnetic field is balanced more evenly across the strings and that opens a lot of doors to ideas that might only translate with this kind of pickup. The Warwolf design does something to the mid range that I really dig too. Like a harmonic overtone smearing that is really pleasing for heavy riffs. With each strings signal being represented in a more evenly powered way you can almost get the feel of a boost pedal or active pickup while retaining the more expressive dynamic range of a passive.

That feel responds well to a boost pedal if you are so inclined and doesn’t squish out or lose definition like a super hot pickup can.

I genuinely love how these things feel and sound. They’re unique and alive, translate well to a mix and most importantly they make me want to play! (Not to mention they look cool as hell) Glyn has absolutely nailed it.”
