Last night was TO rehearsal, and I brought the VHII-equipped s00per strat along for the ride.
We were stuck in one of the smaller rooms, and the room really sounded awful! I opted for a 50W JCM900 head instead of the Diesel VH-4, which doesn't like pedals in front of it too much. I set pretty much every control that matters (Gain, M Volume, Bass, Mid, Treble) for 8 and the Presence at 12:30.

There was just a touch of gain, but with no volume control I wasn't able to get the amp totally clean. This was fine, since I just picked very softly for the clean stuff and it worked fine for rehearsal.

I ran the guitar into the HomeBrew Big D overdrive pedal to push the Marshall into distortion.

Upon plugging in and warming up at a low volume, the other guitarist just stopped short and said, quot;Dude -- your guitar sounds AWESOMEquot;. The tone was somewhere between vintage Yngwie meets EVH ... serious sustain, feedback on demand, and serious balls to the 4th -6th strings! Strings 1-3 exhibited the clarity and articulation I've come to love and hate with BK ... love because you can hear everything, hate because you can hear all my mistakes!!!

Now that I've played the pickup at concert volumes, I can give you all an honest sonic assessment: THIS PICKUP IS BADASS!! It is the ultimate pickup for someone that wants a pickup that will clean up with tons of lower midrange warmth, and distorts with a rawness that rips your face off!!!!

Fast-picking passages had lots of articulation and I was getting pinch harmonics effortlessly!!

I still hold to my initial impression that the Miracle Man distorts more smoothly and with more quot;powerquot;, as well as more individuality IMO.

Once again I'm totally awed by the class of the BK pickups ... coming next: ALL OUT WAR! SCREAMIN' DEMON vs. VHII!!

Man that sounds awesome. I may have to see about getting one of them. It sounds like it's right up my alley. Have fun with that beast.

can't wait to get mine

I'm a medium output hound and I've been pondering the VH2 and the Black Dog for some time now. When a little extra money comes in...

Have you tried a Black Dog yet? Might be even better since it has just a touch more oomph...

No, but Brow has a Black Dog. He may know better than I do ...

nice signature, TO...lol...

we don't brush our teeth cuz cavities help us stay mean...

lol

The bare knuckles seem like very interesting pickups.
How much do they cost (without shipping and taxes and stuff, i live in sweden so it磗 diffrent anyway)?

I might have to try one out eventually.

usually ?90 GBP for one and ?170 for a calibrated set as far as humbuckers go, you can purchase additional covers etc.

this is the online shop form, have a look at some different models and prices
