Re: Black Winter vs Alpha Omega set...Who Has Tried Both?
I have tried both, and I seem to be in the minority as I actually like the Alpha/Omega set more and don't think it's a one-trick pony at all. I've had them ever since the original 200 Custom Shop sets came out, so I've spent quite a lot of time with them. They're the only pickups I use with my band (metalcore, though one could argue it creeps slightly into progressive territory) and I've never felt that they were too bright. By contrast, although I really enjoy the Black Winter set, I feel like the upper midrange is a little too forward and raw-sounding for my liking.
