The Painkiller is the ultimate high-output humbucker for presence and projection, delivering raw, focused crunch, an extremely fast bass response and aggressive upper-mid impact.
The pronounced high-mid peak of the Painkiller, combined with its powerful triple ceramic magnet design, makes it an exceptional choice for progressive and technical metal styles. Tight, resonant lows and an intense pick attack allow it to cut through even the densest mixes with authority.
Clarity is never compromised, regardless of how much gain is applied or how low the guitar is tuned. Pick harmonics are effortless, while the focused midrange and rapid bass response deliver the precision needed for fast, aggressive riffing.
The Painkiller neck humbucker uses a custom-sized ceramic bar magnet to deliver serious output and liquid-like sustain while remaining carefully balanced with the bridge pickup. Although designed primarily for high-gain performance, it also produces fat, modern clean tones. Together, the bridge and neck pickups create a powerful and versatile high-output set.
Punk, Hardcore, Hard Rock, Progressive Metal, Djent, Nu-metal, Thrash, Death Metal, Shred and Extreme Metal.
Any solid-body guitar, including heavily detuned and extended-range instruments. Ideal for guitars that require stronger upper-mid punch, an exceptionally fast bass response and a brighter, more defined high end.
