Big Little Terror & Big Little Ripper

Big Little Terror with super duper crunch and wonderful depth-of-field (3D) performance.  Available now!

We have finally entered the HOT humbucker arena, but, as to be expected from Kinman, our's have some surprising improvements courtesy of the radically different engineering inside.  Our Big Little Mini's are something of a Jeckle and Hyde kind of pickup, the clean aspect is surprisingly beautiful with abundant piano mid-tones and sweet n pretty trebles but all hell breaks loose when the volume is rolled up.

2 rows of 6 domed "headless" pole screws made especially for us out of tougher steel.  This is a real fun full-sized monster if you love super crunch & growl.  Hell, it sounds gooood, so dynamic, and with it's rapid attack and impressive dynamic range it feels great too without Fx devices and like a Ferrari it just wants to get up and go ... it's so exciting.  All strings, top and bottom, break into full-on crunch so easily, without Fx devices, amazing ... that's what it is.  Know what you're thinking, the plain strings have a ragged spikey sound like ceramic magnets produce, right?  Wrong!!! they are sweet as ... but have all the cuting glass you'd ever want plus super dynamic response and long natural sustain.  Puts other (crude) hot humbuckers to shame, even the original super distortion that started it all.  You just gotta get this amazing humbucker into your guitar.

For a pickup so capable of sonic mayhem it sure sounds pretty darn agreeable.

1. We don't use ceramic magnets because ...
   • a) being non-metallic they don't contribute inductance and so the sound of the plain strings is thin and gnarly. 
   • b) ceramic magnets are excessively powerful and that causes unpleasant frequency warbling of the strings, and....
   • c) sustain is shortened due the magnetic string damping.
2. Instead of excessively strong magnets, we gather all the wasted magnetism from our three conventional Alnico-5 bar magnets and focus it into the coil space where it produces 50% more voltage from a given coil.  It's called efficiency.
3. We get all the best sounds and brutal power from our coils and guided magnetic field.  No need to use bothersome ceramic magnets.
4. Our coils behave differently compared to ordinary humbuckers because of our innovative magnetic device.  Gone are the upper midrange spikes and gone too is the 'mud' of the low E string.  All strings sound highly agreeable despite the brutal output they produce.  The low wounds have improved depth and clarity and the plains have a new kind of sweet cut.
5. The two coils have radical geometry and are wound radically (30%) different which is partly the reason for the excellent sounds, BUT .... despite unbalanced coils there is absolute Zero-Hum
6. Clean tones are surprisingly beautiful and come to the fore with the volume rolled back.
7. Gain and distortion sounds are exemplary, probably better than anything you've ever heard before because the tone still shines through the wall of sound.  Absolutely no mud!

Big Little Ripper

With super bell cleans and wonderful depth-of-field (3D) performance.  

Like our Little Ripper Mini-bucker the Big Little Ripper really rips when you want it to, but with it's bright, chirpy bell-like sound it's mighty pretty down at low clean volumes.  This is one dynamic and versatile humbucker with a single row of headless poles screws.

Both models are available in a wide variety of covers (Durable Black, buffed Nickel-Silver, closed-top and our unique 240 open-top with choice of 8 Pearloid colors).  Check them all out in the Order Channel by clicking the big Blue BUY button bottom and top of this page.
 

Zero-Hum, even under maximum gain ..... and zero microphonic squeal.
