Review done by Everdying:
QUOTE "I've been messing with the EMGs i got, two 81s and one 85. 81/81 combo is my least fav with both positions somehow sounding almost the same. 81(n)/85(b) is the most balanced sounding, suprisingly the 85(b) didnt add as much low end as i expected it to but it still sounded marginally better than with a 81 in bridge, while the 81 in neck still had its trebley sound coming thru. the 85(n)/81(b) had the most tonal differences with the 85(n) really pushing all the low end out, and with the right settings it can pull off some decent blues stuff... both 81 and 85 in the bridge performed just as well, good enough for metal rhythm work and piercing solos. but the 81 in the neck is a definite no. dont you just love the plug n play of EMGs and from all that, i'm thinking a 85/85 combo would be a very good match." |

Ummmmmmm...... Active pickups means that it generates so much output, it requires it's own power source in the form of a regular 9V Square Battery. Probably the most famous Active Pick-ups are the ones from EMG..... the EMG81/85 combo is used by most top metal players like Metallica, Trivium and yes..... Zakk Freakin' Wylde. Alot of us forum members have active pickups installed...... I have the EMG-ZW set which is basically an EMG 81 and an EMG 85 sold together as a combo.
I think you're confusing it with an Active Pre-amp pickup that is found on an acoustic guitar. |

Whether it sounds good, it depends on preference. You either love them and think that they're the bomb or hate them to death. Apparently there isn't a middle ground.  No prize guessing which side I'm standing on.  |
