There is a reason why these are so popular

They could call this set the “All purpose EMG set.” When you get a guitar with EMG pickups the odds are good that it will have this set of pickups in it. This set contains the EMG 81 and 85 pickups. Both of these pickups can be used in the neck or bridge position but traditionally with this set you will have the 81 in the bridge and the 85 in the neck. The 85 is great in either the neck or bridge but the 81 is only good in the bridge. These pickups are well known and have been around since the 70s and kings of the metal guitar scene since the 80s. The 81 is a workhorse bridge pickup for heavy music. The active preamp on the pickup gives you a ton of top and sizzle that lets you cut...…

Both of these pickups can be used in the neck or bridge position but traditionally with this set you will have the 81 in the bridge and the 85 in the neck. The 85 is great in either the neck or bridge but the 81 is only good in the bridge. These pickups are well known and have been around since the 70s and kings of the metal guitar scene since the 80s. The 81 is a workhorse bridge pickup for heavy music. The active preamp on the pickup gives you a ton of top and sizzle that lets you cut through no matter what you are playing. It is pretty much impossible for an 81 to sound muddy. The 85 is the 81s fat cousin. It has way more low end beef to its tone. It does not have as much top end sizzle but makes up for it with the thickness. The 85 can get muddy because of this so be careful. This extra beef makes it better in the neck position than the 81. In the neck position the 85 is as smooth as silk with its extra beef and low end. The 85 is great for singing high gain leads. The 81 in the neck isnt as great. Because it is so high end based it does not give you a proper neck position tone. The only people who use 81s in the neck are people who want their neck position to sound like the bridge position but if you want your neck pickup to sound the same as the bridge why bother even having it. With their active design these pickups provide great sustain because they use slightly weaker magnets but with the signal amplified later on by the active preamp. You need a 9v battery for these pickups to operate. If you are looking for a trusty set of active EMG pickups there is a reason so many guitars come with these.

I have these microphones for 3 years, achets by chance to have more fishing on my guitar.
Unlike "hearsay" about these pickups, they are versatile extremely, and playing on the volume knobs and Tone achieves sonorits ranging from jazzy to metal.
What I drang these microphones is the standard difference between the neck pickup and the bridge, the first round as very, very hot, and SECOND tr s prcis and cold.
This difference too mark my taste I pushed back the kit by reversing the position of the two microphones and since I am very satisfied with my guitar sonorits.

So for rsumer of many great versatile microphones!

I use it for a week.
Sa ..... Dechi!!
I do not see pa of other words.
Zakk Wylde conessez if you must know what jou, a very heavy metal, but these pickups have a sound super clear and precise without Satue and it's the same with the saturation.
microphones asser Polivalente May vraimen a great sound that's clear and full.
I bought an epiphone les paul standard plus with this kit zakk, I buy just to please me because I had a Fender Start maxique and I was bored at the Asser's not "hard" for my taste so I put the kit on my epiphone zakk and transform it, I regret my purchase at all.
RAPORT the money is because we have two microphones over the pots and always the first one knob...…
