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 Lindy Fralin High Output
“Lows are big and full and on the verge of punchy, but not loose or muddy.”
“The high end has bite and edge and tinkers with the idea of being sharp, but eases up before going too far.”
