Much more full, punchy, and warmer than my previous EMGs. True, they don't quite have the upper end sizzle that the EMGs did, but I'm finding I don't miss that in the least.
I understand the Pitbulls sound just like their standard P pickup. |

It's kind of metal-ish, but you can hear how the Pitbulls sounded when thrown up against a bunch of guitars, drums, keyboards, vocals, and samples from Tron. |
