I used recently to replace a pair of EMG 81/85 ESP a Ninja.
Although the EMG 85 stands up very well in the neck position for clean leads and parts were missing a little personality. The 81 I can not hear about is the microphone that sounds too typical and not transparent par excellence. Not enough fishing, not so clean as this, a little bland and synthetic.
In short, I was tired and wanted to stay in the asset (for cleanliness). I was looking for a set of microphones that had a lot of fishing for rock / metal (up to extreme styles) while enjoying a clean efficient.
So, having invested in a Blackout AHB-1 some time ago for a 7-String Squier and being very happy with the sound, I decided to ask a set AHB-1 on my ESP.
And indeed, not disappointed at all! It's very clean, no background noise (in addition to my pedal to the test I went live on the amp). Toc to gain! I went from 7.5 in EMG Fireball 5 on my 100W.
Duncan Announces 6/5/9 in Bass / Mid / Treble for AHB-1. And indeed, with the EQ of the amp at noon the sound is already correct! Refining according to my preferences I found his monumental.
Feel free to adjust the height of good microphones, they are very sensitive to their position and there is no need to make them flush with the strings for gain galore ...
The neck pickup is a sadistic executor, a real butcher! Harmonics which fuse easily, as the big big love! It is clear, it's powerful, it's clean and it is especially super dynamic!
Her boyfriend is very good round and give you clean jazzy sounds great. Coupled with a little slapback delay in, you can have a nice little sound to the old. Funky! For lead, it is a pleasure. It has a sacred character and is rich in media. You will be leaving the mix without worry! It is warm and full of fish at a time.

In summary, the AHB-1 are the assets of Duncan the most effective styles of modern metal! There is still the AHB-2 Metal, the signature emty Mike Thompson of Slipknot and Dave Mustaine LiveWire (which I'm very interested as well).

For those who are tired of EMG, go ahead. For those who want active daring adventure, go for it too! You will not be disappointed!
