Description

Edit description

A very hot ceramic humbucker specialising in hi-gain, saturated rock tones with smooth mids and bright, crisp highs. Defined by its high output and trademark harmonics, the Miracle Man humbucker is perfect for colossal metal tones that only a passive pickup can deliver. Surgically tight bass, huge lo-mids and smooth upper mid response produce an accented hi-end with a thoroughly percussive feel. Combined with a more compressed dynamic, single note definition is extremely articulate with masses of sustain when required.

The matching neck pickup keeps the pressure on with an equal amount of power and a sweet, vowel-like sustain from its Alnico V magnet and calibrated wind. Equally at home in bolt-on or glued neck guitars, the Miracle Man humbucker is an excellent choice for any guitarist looking for massive, hi-gain tones.

"I'd also try different guitars for different takes – so if I was doing an overdub I'd look for a different tone for it. Most of it was still Les Pauls – an ebony Custom. I'm using Bare Knuckle Miracle Man pickups and for the louder, heavier songs they sounded awesome."
