I have these in the same guitar. Only it’s left handed. Went through a few sets and these are it!. Huge sounding, clarity without sacrificing bass. Splits great too.
Good shit. Ive been eyeing these for my tremonti prs. I would've loved to have heard some split or parallel sounds since these use different gauge wires on each coils and mojo folks told me they are the most versatile humbucker set they make. Badass tones and playing. Fokin it up bra 🤘
They're great, especially that bridge pickup. Drives really nice, no hard pick attack but not at all dull, fuller low-end with our being muddy or fat, and that mid range really pushes whatever you're playing into, plus they just feel good to play. Don't feel like anything is fighting me.
@MetalHeadProductions could you share what the settings you use for pickup height are? I’m having some trouble dialing in some high gain ceramic HB’s after switching from low output alnico’s.
I have my amp settings up in the video, and for the height, I just dial that in until it feels right. It's different for different pickups and I'm not sure where I had this one for the video.
Steven, you've demoed so many pickups. Do you have a (or some) clear favorites? How do these fair against all that you've tried? I want to try more stuff, but there are so many companies making pickups. The differences can be hard to discern in a (TH-cam) recording, but in the right guitar they can make ALL the difference in terms of feel, IMO. Thank you! :)
Absolutely, and this going to come down to personal tastes and gear so it took me a while and lot of trial and error to figure this out, but one of the pickups I've been using the longest is the black winter, this monotone pickup like going to live permanently in my FGN, the warpig from bkp is another fantastic high output pickup and I have one permanently in my LP, the m7 from Lundgren is easily my favorite 7 string pickup and for actives, Fishmans are so good, I'm really digging the Mick Thompson set and the standard moderns are everything I think someone would want from an active.
How do you think these would compare to active emg 81/85? I mostly play with HM-2 pedals and am wondering if the hellbenders would be worth a conversion in one of my guitars.
@@Jason-qr3ykI just got these for my sg in D standard. They’re amazing. I’ve got an emg 81 in a jackson and I prefer the hellbenders. They actually remind me of the emg het set but these are better.

I have the Lace Dissonant Aggressors and they are awesome. Would love to try these. The Mojotone Tomahawks in the PRS sound incredible
Mojotone is definitely underrated. I have some single cold in my strat that sound crazy cool.
Those sound killer, just ordered some off Sweetwater lol. Absolutely love some Mastodon.
Yeah they're cool for sure. I was surprised at just how chunky and hot the bridge pickup is.
Good meeting you at the Mastodon lesson! I knew you looked familiar for some reason. Hell, yeah, and happy belated birthday.

Yeah, don't have pp pots with this wiring setup, unfortunately, but these pickups rule.
I really like the pickup in the bridge! 🔊🔥😁🤘
Finally someone telling me to fast forward for the goods👍
These seem to have a nice sizzle. 🏆 Articulate as well! Awesome demo!
Mastodon!!!! Sounds great on your Dunable
Very cool. Might have to check these out.

@@MetalHeadProductions Right on bud, I trust your opinions.
Jesus, I slept on these for too long
They sound very good, I wouldn't mind trying them!
Is that an SNK VH300 behind you?! Please make a video for that as soon as you can!
Good eye! Yes it is and I have a video planned after I move for sure. Should be the first demo in the new place.
@@MetalHeadProductions Excellent \m/
Holy crap man, u nailed the tone paired with that friedman be. I might splurge again😅
I saw these came out then I got curious about the other humbuckers mojo tone makes.
Whoa awesome demo! So glad I picked up a pair! Possibly going in my new SG I’m getting…

Do you think they're versatile enough to cover a wider range of different genres?
Oh absolutely, I'd just change the pickups, but personally I'd go for an R2 just cause I like the body shape better.
As a huge mastodon fan, I’m very interested in these.
I also love thrash and death metal, how do you think these would work for those styles?
Oh absolutely they do. The bridge pickup is just what I like in a pickup and I play mostly death metal.
@@MetalHeadProductions Awesome, thanks for the reply!
which speaker do you use for this i use Wgs Reaper HP for that Mastodon tone i have the Mojotone Paf clones they work also great for 80s heavy metal
99% of my demos now are with an IR of a DV77 that is blended with a vm1265

These have way more mid range and low end than something like a 81. They definitely play nice with an hm2.
@@MetalHeadProductions awesome! Thanks for assurance, appreciate it!

What guitar are you using with the Hellbenders brother. Thanks!
Dunable cyclops
@@MetalHeadProductions LOL Most excellent bro Thanks
Good meeting you at the Mastodon lesson! I knew you looked familiar for some reason. Hell, yeah, and happy belated birthday.
Thanks, man! Good meeting you too.
