Highest Output Pickup(s)??

[twooos]

Hi.

Im not another one "metalheads" who want the highest output pickup so they could "R0ck y0Ur SoXXorz", i just want to know what the highest output pickups are if i were to play that genre of music.

thanks

I read that Ceramic pickups were more powerful than Alnico II, V etcetc

bareknuckles and swineshead seem to be retty powerful.
Sure DiMarzio and SD have something in the drawer for you (X2N or Super Distorsion ??)

thanks for the reply, i dont think x2n or super distortion will cut it for me...

ive been looking into bareknuckle, but , again, not enough output. surely theres something higher than them.

Emgs aren't as hot as an X2N. The Duncan Live Wire Metal is stupid hot, due mostly to the excessive mids. If those don't do it for you, nothing will, IMO.

At some point either; a) you'd be better off with a booster/overdrive, or b) you're gonna overload the input of your amp.

Just a Q...... What makes you think that you have to have MORE output?????
What are you looking to gain via anything louder than an X2n?

Im not really sure TBH lol... i just want something stupidly high output, just to say i have

i dont like being "mainstream". i want to be different, and having things that not many people have, or want.

WCR ironman IIRC 27k out put hottest pickup I know of.WCR /RS shredder is 16k very nice pickup as well

I guess that's fair...go with a Seymour Duncan LiveWire with 2 9v batteries; which will be way more output than any human needs ever...

Or, just save your money n buy a tube amp and a good medium to medium high output pickup and do something stylisticly different....

With a LiveWire yer just gonna turn the tone of a good tube amp back into a solid state feedbacking mess

You wanna be different, but you want a Dual Recto? Kinda defeating the purpose.

Sound is 99% in your hand and how you react with your instrument....me and you could play the same setup and have 2 completely different sounds at the same settings (that's where uniqueness of music comes in most )

It's alchemy

[neptoess]

SD LiveWire is highest output, they havent been able to measure its output yet

[Salamander In The Sun]

How will an X2N not cut it?! Those things are br00tal!

[David McCarroll]

Higher output is absolutely no guarantee of good tone - usually the opposite!
