I like the sound of the Frankie pick up better, sounds more full to my ears...Awesome job with that 3 way switch, sounds really cool🤘
Are you sure? What if he lied to you which is which. I think your bias will influence your decision.
Kool demo ! I like the sound of the Pariah pickup 🤘🏼
I enjoyed the demo and a straight-to-the-point commentary. Thanks for posting this!
Thanks Mich
FINALLY! Someone on TH-cam plays Ain't Talkin' Bout Love the right way. Thank you
That’s the right way? I keep seeing lessons with that last G on the low E, not the open G string. Which is ‘authentic?!!!!’
I also have a 3 way telecaster pickup selector switch and a functioning Pariah neck pickup in my Franky. The humbucker and single coil setup gives you the Best of Both Worlds, pun intended :D
Hood a thunk it...Mike Anthony playing EVH lead.. very well..
Killer my man. Thanks for the props.
You rock thanks Chris.
Frank sounds more full with more harmonic presence
Very similar. I liked the pariah a bit better for accuracy ( but I am hearing it through my phone). BT W, nice pair you got there.
Dope video my man. I enjoyed that a lot.
Thanks Rick
Beautiful builds & tone! Who did the paint job on both?
My little shop 👍
@@yeahwhatevermike I may have to hit you up! Those look great!!
Anything that processed of a sound, is hard to decide which is the better pickup.
Who is going to be playing clean with these pickups. You don’t do Sunday driving with a sports car. Your response isn’t yours it is a repeat of others you heard.
Hi Mike, those sound amazing. I'm especially keen on the neck pickup tone. Just wondering how you wire the single coil and humbucker. Both to a 500k pot?
Yes 500K pot 👍
EVH Frankie @4:33 and Pariah @5:34 . No way around it, the EVH Frankie is handling the high gain a lot better here, you can make out the individual notes and yet it has a darkness to it. Pariah has nailed the timbre well on this one, but the note separation clarity is not there. Just off a little, but when you put it against the real clone it's a defect that stands out to players with acclimated ears. The "brown sound" in full effect on the EVH Frankie pickup. The Pariah sounds great; as long as you don't do a comparison like this! The core tone is there, but the clear note separation just isn't... You can drink the Kool-Aid here and think boutique built always must be better. Or maybe as an artist you prefer to support boutique builders, which is noble and there's nothing wrong with that! But the truth is consistency is really important with pickups and a large company brings that consistency through a series of processes/quality checks a boutique builder simply can not. Pariah is one man working out of a garage converted into a shop. If you dig his custom pickups, great! But these inspired by nostalgic models like the Pasadena pickups, Poundcakes, etc... They are a bit deceptive. It's the best one man's ears can determine. You have to keep in mind the Frankie evolved from a 60's ES-335 PAF at a time those pickups weren't even that consistent and the EVH Frankie involved a team of engineers figuring out how to reproduce it, with their ears and with tools measuring... With a boutique builder creating an inspired by model, they are working just with their ears and with whatever specs on resistance and EQ they can find on-line. A fun endeavor, but as the video demonstrates not always the best quality.
I agree, the EVH Franky sounds a bit better. I wonder if part of that is due to one body being ash and one being alder?
@@Peter_Stoops Not sure, that's possible. Both sound pretty good. Just depends on taste. To my taste the EVH Frankie is hitting the sweet spot, others might think the Pariah is. In general, though. Once there's an official product like the EVH Frankie on the market you have to wonder what kind of customer would buy some after market clone pickup, I mean the Pariah is cheaper so it has that going for it. It's kind of like the choice of going to a cheap street market with bootleg imports and buying a fake Rolex vs buying the real thing... To many any pickup maker who builds their reputation of copy-cat product is self-degrading, but that is just my opinion.
Take your comment with a grain of
Salt. In a forum you mention you had a negative interaction with the owner of pariah pickups. You were the only one to apparently have a negative one. Many, including myself think his pickups are the best thing out there. You’re quite in the minority and shall be looked at as discredited and invalid. These two in the video sound very very similar. The fact is pariah pickups are awesome, affordable and the owner is class act. Go spew your negative and bs comments some where else!! No one agrees with you here or on the forums bud.
The EVH pickup was created in 2007 as part of a project Eddie Van Halen launched to create 300 exact replicas of his red/black/white stripped Frankie... It is objectively the closest pickup a player can buy to get Ed's Frankie pickup sound.
Pariah is a single individual, I did have a problem with the dude behind the company, his name is Chris... something... memory escapes. He was nice at first, once I told him I planned to review is Poundcake pickups (inspired by the EVH DiMarzio set made for Ernie Ball in the early 90s) against the real thing his tone changed... When I asked if he made the pickups in the USA, he got angry (he lives in Canada and actually makes them there in spite of them being advertised as made in the USA), a few shady things like that. The entire guitar gear industry is full of snake oil and con artist, you might as well be tossing your money at the traveling carnival... Nothing against most the pickups Pariah sells, but he has several "inspired by" models and a whole series it seems inspired by Eddie's pickups over the years... Ed's estate doesn't get anything, the guy doesn't even donate some of the money to a charity Ed supported, it's just in very poor taste.
But hey, if you like what Pariah ells, buy it!
I've repeatedly said his pickups sound really damn good and I will not deny that, even though I'm blacklisted from buying anything from him. I think people should get information from multiple sources before making decisions. I never try to influence, just toss out facts and sometimes my opinion into the pot
How did you yellow the white paint on those they look the best..
I use a vintage amber tinted clear coat
I was saying no extra duty to import pariah pickups into Canada
Don't they come from Canada?
@@vitosantoro1588 yes
Couldn't tell way to much delay verb artifacts. No kicking on ya gr8 playa. I quit using any effects period post well cough cough maybe a tad verb room and sometimes eventide with p tools. Nice guitars man. Problem is we are all tone addicts shit give me a good marshall head and a good 4 12 cab I be happy camper. Gr8 video bro keep rocking it..
Great video! I have a similar setup and looking to purchase the functioning single coil. Did you have to do anything special to get the proper pickup height in the neck?
I used some foam from the box it came in under the pickup and some long screws
The EVH sounded a lot more aggressive and ready to just go full force. The other sounded slightly less gainy and cleaner. I think thru a real amp they would be better to tell which feels the best and sounds better. Especially with no added fx pedals or anything. Just straight up amp distortion and even super clean tones.
@Darren DeMarco What a stupid comment.
Thanks for the video but without a real direct audio its basically impossible to tell the difference. YT already compresses the audio and using a cam audio is even another layer of confusion on top.
I was wondering why he was flipping us all off in the thumbnail picture. I’ll try back! 😝🤘🏻🎸🇺🇸
that single coil sounded great -humbucker too, but the evh humbucker sounds slightly cleaner with slightly more tone
Any chance you can redo this with something that isn't your camera's microphone. Doesn't matter if its a real mic'd amp or computer software - just anything that isn't a camera/desktop mic. Thanks!
Evh for me. That midrange aggressiveness.
Cheers Mike, they sound very similar, not sure what one I prefer. I have the EVH Frankie which has the Wolfgang pickup which sounds pretty good to my ears. I also have an Axe-Fx and have been on a Van Halen tone searching journey lately, feel free to check out my attempts. Cheers and I’ve subbed 👍🏻
i’m sure they are good but i’m not changing a pick up on a 1700 evh. i’d rather keep it stock.
EVH for sure.
There Are no videos for the pariah Pasadena red pick ups anywhere, on paper it sounds like the one I want, Which is more like the Wolfgang pick ups than the Frankenstein ones.
Do you have a diagram of how you wired it?
Have a Frankie in my Les Paul- meh... I think its more a Strat Humbucker. Great playin dude
Thanks Jay, I have one in a les Paul also. And I agree. It’s not as good in a LP. I love wizz premium PAF clones. They are the cats meow if your looking for the authentic PAF tone on a 59 Les Paul
when you switched to that single coil in the first one i got a weird idea about what the VH sound may have been like if he would have gotten the single wired up correctly... imagine the way EVH may have changed single coil playing as well 😵💫😵💫
Yeah that would have been cool on the early VH records
Both sound great but personally I liked the Franky pickup....to my ears the midrange is a bit louder? Tone seemed just a bit more authentic.
The Evh is much louder than the Pariah, most consider loud is better.. 🤔🤘🏼✌🏼
EVH Franky for the win. The Ash bod has stronger upper mids (the Pariah pup guitar), vs the full bodied overall balanced sound of the Alder axe (the Frank pup). The EVH Frank is the better wind. But for the ultimate... The Duncan Frankenstein from their Custom Shop wound by MJ or Seymour himself (rare) is the BEST option, and of course, the most expen$ive!
Eddie did not say forget it; He totally got how to get the sound he wanted; He tweaked everything on his guitar... He only wanted to use the Bridge Pick-up... The Neck pick-up produces a warmer sound and Eddie was primary into solo's; Most of his idea's sparked from a riff he had done... although he was an awesome rhythm player too as well. He totally tweaked everything, even the pickups; He used to unwind them and dip them in parafum wax. I think I miss spelled the wax name but, yah that's basically what he did...

6:43 it's a meee YAHOOO
👍🇺🇸🇨🇦❤PARIAH
How is the weight on the Chris Locke guitar?
The KNE build is alder body and around 7 pounds. The Chris Locke one is northern ash. It’s a heavy 9 pound guitar. And the neck profile is nice C shape.
@@yeahwhatevermike Thanks for the quick response. Did you put any finish on the back of the neck?
@@paulpavot1056 yes tobacco stain and clear coat flat nitro lacquer
If you could mix the thick juicy tone of the EVH pup with the “ clarity “ of the Pariah you would have the Dean “ Michael Schenker “ Lights Out pup . Also you don’t mention anything about what you’re playing thru regarding amp and speakers 🔊 . Thank you 🙏
He said Axe Effects
Had the Pasadena WHITE model and it was a little more articulate and would have cut through this setting a bit more for those interested. Sold the guitar it was in :( but Pariah makes some quality parts. I could see the Black model covering more bases for a new guitar though :)
Is the Pasadena white model accurate? Like what you’d expect for 78-79 sounds?
@@michaelcruz4570 Pre Alnico 2 sounds, yes. Some people thing it was a ceramic mag that did most of the lead work.. Mighty Mite Super D clone etc. But for an alnico 5 sound the White works really well. The Arcane Brownbucker is another great take on the the A5 approach. Just a matter of taste but they both get the job done. We are in a golden age for humbucker replacements.
@@MistaF thank you so much for the information
And to clarify it’s a pariah Pasadena black the hotter one
Too much preamp gain not to mention all the reverb
Pariah
I thought you played bass
The EVH sounds better to me.
Pariah way better sound more accurate.
way to much gain.
