What players and reviewers say
On the Bare Knuckle Rebel Yell
“It’s dynamic response at stage volume with the ability to go from glassy clean to full saturation without collapsing into mush.”
“Where a lot of pickups in this range get compressed and narrow, this one stays open and articulate.”
On the Suhr Thornbucker
“Clean amp options are fun with this pickup, as series mode has an opulence and split/parallel options have some glassy chime.”
“I seem to hear a broad footprint across the mids that give that growl in the low mids as well as a snarl in the high mids.”
