Oct 26, 2023 · I've got a cool Conchers Baritone arriving soon and a handful of amps/cabs to try it out on,,, curious what your opinions are on the best amps and speakers...
Oct 20, 2022 · For us, the best baritone guitar is undoubtedly the PRS SE 277. The 277 can do metal, it can do twang, it can do ringing open chords, and it can double your bass track with all the ease of a laid-back Sunday morning.

Jan 14, 2010 · The UL Pro Reverb has a solid state rectifier and two big 220uF caps in series. It gives you all the attack and punch you need for big fat baritone notes! Another very nice amp for baritone, although a bit pricey, is the Fender Vibro King. Heavy transformers, big filter caps and 3x10" speakers. And great reverb and tremolo too. Jef

Within DiMarzio’s arsenal, I’d single out the Titan set. You can find this one on some of Jake Bowen’s instruments, the guitarist from Periphery. These humbuckers aren’t high-output pickups. Additionally, they’re pretty balanced. The bridge pickup has a slight boost of mids. But the neck one is almost flat. This makes them a great choice for barito...
As far as Seymour Duncan pickups go, Nazgûl and Sentient set is worth checking out. Although passive, they have a pretty hot output. But despite that, they feel controlled. You won’t get any weird sounds with lower tunings. Even if you put on a high-gain setting on your amp, they’ll sound tight. Bear in mind that the bridge pickup Nazgûl has a cera...
Another Seymour Duncan set that I like for baritones is Black Winter. These are also passive pickups. However, their output is incredibly strong. They’re designed especially for metal music. These are, once again, humbuckers with ceramic magnets. However, they’re also designed in such a way to deal well with lower frequencies. This means that you c...
Bare Knuckle is one of the best pickup brands on the market. It’s especially popular among modern metal players who use lower tunings. Their Juggernaut pickups are the signature set of Periphery’s Misha Mansoor. What’s exciting about the bridge humbucker is the combination of Alnico and ceramic magnets. Meanwhile, the neck is completely Alnico. The...
Another great set by Bare Knuckle is Black Dog. They’re a bit different compared to Juggernauts. The bottom-ends are not as strong. Meanwhile, you get that throaty twist with pronounced mids and high-ends. These come with Alnico 5 magnets. Overall, they resemble classic P.A.F.-style humbuckers. This gives them a lot of versatility. In particular, I...
Now, Chapman Sonorous Zero humbuckers aren’t sold separately. You can only find them used online, removed from Chapman ML1 guitars. But if you manage to get your hands on them, they’re worth it. Additionally, they shouldn’t be that expensive. Chapman ML1 is a baritone guitar. So these pickups are designed especially for those low tunings, like B st...
This may be a controversial addition to the list. You don’t typically associate single-coils with baritone guitars. But Fender’s Texas Specials are really great in this role. If you’re aiming for something bluesy, crispy, or surf-rock-oriented, they’re perfect. They’re incredibly punchy yet they don’t sound too piercing. And if you hit a low note, ...
Honestly, there aren’t any pickups like Railhammer’s Chisel humbuckers on the market. It takes no more than a glance to notice that they’re unique. The part covering the bottom three strings uses rails. Meanwhile, the top three strings are covered using polepieces. They mostly focus on higher mids. This gives them a very aggressive twist and a pret...
By default, EMG 81 and 85 aren’t for baritone guitars. However, they’ve always worked well with lower tunings. After all, they’ve become kind of a standard in metal music over the past couple of decades. They’re your go-to pickups for almost all metal subgenres. With your distortion on, you’ll get a somewhat compressed tone. But they’re also great ...
Fishman is a brand that raised the bar for everyone in the world of guitar. Although smaller than some major brands, they’re seriously taking over the guitar pickup market. Their Fluence Modern humbuckers are a great example of that. We’re looking at a set of active pickups. The bridge pickup features a ceramic magnet. Meanwhile, the neck one has a...
