Has anyone tried the Pariah Pickups Skere pickup? Any good? How does it compare with other Lynch pickups like the DD, Demon, Arcane, ect?

Re: Pariah Pickups
Am I to understand the "Skere" (aka: "Mr. Skere" as the bobbins are stamped) is an unofficial, unlicensed clone-of-sorts of the Arcane Mr. Scary pickup? Mid-13K, Alnico 8...
No experience, but I'm sure it's punchy and fun based on my experience with the similarly-spec'd Satchur8 and my experience with A8 mags in Duncans

Darts Phineas took one for a spin and shares his thoughts.
For the record, the “stamped” version displayed in the blog entry was done at Darth Phineas’ request. They do not ship as pictured.

I have a set from him. Wicked pickups that sound great! And he is an awesome dude, listens to what you want, and works with you to get the right pickup for your tone. I can't say enough about him and his product. Prices are very reasonable too. I don't have the 'skere' but I'm certain it delivers as promised.

Here's what Darth says about the tone in his review:
"on a dirty amp setting...the punchy lows can pummel cracks in the ground, the mids have bullets to spare, and the high end is burning like a flame!"
"clean amp tones...so much glass and air you’ll have the sky beneath your feet."
And that's pretty much it.
I genuinely miss Darth's contributions here, but a lot of his website gear reviews are the most vague and impractical fanfare I've seen outside of formal press releases.
Darth, I know you'll see this eventually buddy...give us a little more to go on! Comparisons, audio, video, etc. (i.e. your own, not reposting years-old YouTube videos done by someone else)

I've hit and miss this place for years, didn't realize darth was gone?
I follow him on IG though.
I do like his reviews, but that one is a bit vague.
