What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Aftermath
“The 'pig is an incredibly compressed, full, aggressive pickup with loads of low end.”
“Another hot wind, the Painkiller comes a little later, with tighter lows and more upper mids.”
On the Gibson Dirty Fingers
“Of the two the DF is closer to the SD than the DD.”
Comparing with DiMarzio Super Distortion, Seymour Duncan Distortion (SH-6)
“Well first of all, the Dirty Fingers is going to be WAY hotter and WAY more aggressive than the Angus sugnature.”
