AO > Titans > Ragnarok > Juggernaut

You talk a lot and all your tones sound horrible

Compare to invader bridge?

The uoa5 mag seems to have a lot to do with some of the sound characteristics of the polymath. I’ve swapped a uoa5 mag into a few pickups with really good results.

1:54 0:34

You are comparing 4 guitars. And not 4 pickups. This is a huge difference and basically makes this video redundant if you are looking for a new set of pickups

Had them for a year now, I don't like them. I really gave them a shot, raised the height, tried new settings on all of my amps and even changed them from a guitar to another. These are definitely not it, which sucks because of how expensive they were.

Trying to decide between the SDSS and the BKP Juggs to put into a Strandberg Biden Essentials, which would you pick and why?

Both sound very nice!

Awesome comparison man. That rhythm tone on the Mayones at the start of the video is basically my dream djent/high gain tone. Would you be able to let me know how you got that tone i.e. what amp or software you used? And was it the pickup in full humbucking mode or coil split? That was such a spanky, percussive sound it was almost a bit single coil-esque. I bought a Schecter KM-7 III Artist recently to be my main 7 string and I'm loving how well it plays and the neck pickup, but the bridge pickup isn't really doing it for me. It just doesn't have the growl and chunkiness that I'm liking from your demo here. The KM-7 bridge is essentially a modified Fishman Fluence Classic. I'm thinking of replacing it with a Fluence Modern as I know they can chug nicely (I have the Moderns in a Cort 7 string...they aren't the right size to fit the KM-7 though as it's routed for passive shape pickups so I'd need to order different Modern). I think I'd prefer doing this rather than swapping all the pickups for something like a Bare Knuckle set, or even going for a different guitar, as I'm really happy with the way it plays and all the other sounds you get from the Fluences like the lead, clean and coil split sounds. It's just that djenty chug that I'm missing, which is a shame as that's one of the main things I want to get out of a 7 string. I'm happy with the chug from the Moderns in my Cort though, when I run that through the Neural DSP Archetype Rabea plugin. Just don't enjoy playing a multiscale so much, so the KM-7 was meant to be a big upgrade what with the 26.5" scale and stainless steel frets. But understanding how you got your huge tone may help me get mine perfect 🙂 Btw, a gutiar shop in my city has that same Jackson Juggernaut for sale second hand. It's a fairly small city and the biggest & oldest guitar shop in it recently shut down so you don't really see much modern shreddy/metal focussed guitars for sale. I actually tried that Juggernaut a year and a half ago when I first decided I wanted a 7 string. It was way out of my budget but the shop was still kind enough to let me try it to see how a 7 string felt. They were asking quite a lot for it though, £3000 second hand and it's not the absolute latest version of it either. Reading further down the comments on your video I can see you got yours for about half the price! No wonder the one in my city is still for sale. From what I can remember it felt very comfortable to play but they only had more vintage amps in the shop to try it with. I don't think I really knew who Misha was back then also!

I used to see a lot of the Misha models with the Periphery logo on the fretboard. Now it’s very hard to find them. Which model is that? Do you know what to search for?

You can say anything about PRS but it's the only guitar that Mark actually plays. Misha and Jake always play custom shops or MIA versions.

which one more brighter of tones and less low bass frequencies ?

illuminator 🔥🔥

9 minutes for the demo to start and then one realises it´s your phone recording? I´m sure it will sound the same recorded or on a gig..... WTF did I just watch... It does give some super vague ideas though so points for that I guess....

I listen to a lot of the modern metal and had the ragnarok's in my RG 7 string but went with the alpha/omega for my new shecter SVSS. It's a darker sounding guitar vs my Charvel and I'm hoping that these pickups can really get the top end cracking. I almost grabbed the Polymath set as I've loved the BKP's I've owned in the past but I heard they were a bit softer/darker than the alpha/omega and other "djent" pickup sets.

This video is excellent. Thank you dude

Great selection of some of my favorite pickups to do battle!

2:31 3:06 this has to be more than just a pickup difference.

This was a surprisingly good video, thanks to great commentary and EQ graphs. I would love to see this revisited with the new DiMarzio Mirage pickups in the mix (the newest Jake Bowen model, naturally)

Nice

Thanks for review, but you DO know that wood has no any meaning to the electric guitar's tone, right?

Titans are my Jam

This video made me hate my fluence moderns. They really do sound like a half cocked wah pedal to me now.

I decide based on the low mutes because that's the hardest sound to excel at. They are all good here but the Rags take it for me.

I like the Juggernauts more for the distorted bridge chugging stuff but i like the Ragnaroks more for the cleans and leads. Is it a good idea to add one juggernaut for the bridge and one Ragnarok for the neck or would that cause problems. Sorry I am a bit of a nobie with this kind of stuff.

I love the red and grey zebra 🔥 red and grey is my favorite color combo on planet earth

The juggernauts are the definition of definition 🐐

Great vid super helpful

God bless you sir

Omega sounds way fuller

I’m planning a 7 string build with a local luthier and right now I’m debating between the scarlet/scourge and the alpha/omega. I play tech death in the vein of artificial brain where super complex chord voicings with open strings are common. My gut is telling me that the a/o set would probably be the best route to go. What do you think between the two sets for a tech death setting? Thanks!

I must have spent 20 minutes jumping from each pickup in the ABCD comparison. I have a JBM27 with the Titans I picked up last year that completely shattered my inner die hard schecter guy mind set. Mishas demo of the juggernaughts make them sound like the best pickup I could ever want. So I have been gunning for them for a long time. This demo really makes me feel like Rags - Titans - THEN juggs, which makes me no longer want juggs haha! I have two guitars I am lookin to swap pickups in and this helped me settle of rags so thank you for your hard work!

THIS is the video I need. I'm in the process of ordering a Kiesel Osiris, and I totally thought I would like the Fluence better, but this video I think convinced me that I like the Polarity better. Dammit.

As far as coil split and cleans how would you say these compare to the juggernauts in versatility?

It may have been said, but missing accessories is an affliction of buying a guitar off the rack from Guitar Center. Both of my Pro Series Mick Thomson models came with the Jackson manual, a truss rod cover plate and screw, and all the hex keys needed to adjust everything on the instrument. Excellent comparison, man! \m/

That intro riff is killer

all great, but please don't write solos.. they ruin everything. It's such a contrast, you have great rhythms, technics but terrible solos, almost painful .. sorry man

Hey, I know this comment is a bit late, but if you were to get one now (including the 2023 model of Mark's guitar), which would you get? I'm on the fence of getting a Jackson Pro Series Juggernaut HT6 (with the quilted maple top of course ;) ), but I've had not so nice experiences with Jackson's which is making me a bit cautious. So, if you had to get one today, which would you get today? Thanks a lot :)

"promo sm" 💞

Hey buddy i really love the voicing of Polarity. What is the closest flavour to this on emg'S? or can u suggest me a passive close tho this range? İ cant afford a Kiesel atm :(

try cleaning the pickup selectrer with a contact cleaner. works like magic

I shred. These super tight pickups are usually are not grate in that territory. I need some ripping for these.

May I ask how did you get your hands on that 7th string juggernaut? I have had one on order for more than 2 years and it’s still pending

This is an excellent and quality video showcasing these pickups.

The Illuminators are really bright. I actually prefer their tone.

Love your videos dude! The Nailbomb is by far my favorite BKP. I've tried a bunch but I keep coming back to the Nailbomb. The Rags were cool, but sometimes the lows were just too much and I didn't like them for leads because the moderate high end. Plus I can dial in the Nailbombs w/ the low mid to sound pretty similar to the Rags. The juggs sounded very different depending on the guitar. I didn't like it in the Lambo Orange HT7 I had (too bright), they sounded good in the silverburst sparkle HT7 I had, but they absolutely kill in my Aristides 070R. Which is your favorite???

I think I gotta go with the Nailbomb on this one.

Nice dude diggin’ the guitars!

Hopefully buying my first 7 string soon and the pickups Periphery uses is what I waiti change the pickups out with. I'm just not sure which ones.
