Bare Knuckle Pickups Rebel Yell Humbucker Set Demo by Dan Stevens.
“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.”
“Rebel Yell - super tight, all high mids and highs, nonexistent lows (in my LP).”
“The marshallhead has a lot of mids and upper mids (I hear the rebel yell is also like that) with nice, musical highs.”
“Rebel Yell - Offset coils, 43awg wire and hand wound, similar wind count to the JB, it’s going to be bright and clear.”
