Value For Money :
Poor
I use it for several months on my ESP LTD Viper.
I like his power and sound with distortion that is trs prcis, the opposite of my old Gibson pickups or my SD. Harmonics are very easy to play also. It is trs own nickel to play solos and stuff prcis even with high distortion, a does not bleed, never strike a draft.
I like less coldness and lack of grain. It lacks bass. In his clear, it is almost useless without effects, fewer titles only play the Metallica or Megadeth encoreIl and lack of clear prsence and personality.
With my Pod XT Pro, I can have correct sounds for the riffs and for arpges but on my amp without effects, has clearly not only rings.
I think it's a good complment EMG 85 but I will not use two EMG 81 on my guitar, I find it far too restrictive under the mtal play only "cold ". It is highly versatile, hard to play a solo November Rain or type GNR arpge clear sound and rock 70's, will not ring. For me it's EMG 81 85 or nothing!
Price lev but it is a quality microphone (power, no wind) so it's correct.
Is what I will do the same choice, so on a guitar plutt typemtal or cold / neutral / clean with good amp derrire lamps or good effects and EMG 85 in complment, Otherwise, I prfre my SD liabilities that whatever is said, do not buzz / hum and are almost as powerful, even if they are clearly dirtier with more grain.
EDIT: since the acquisition of my Pod XT Pro, I can get something out of 81, and finally I can not find it so bad with good modlisations derrire but in my little amp with no effects or lamps little effect, it did not sound.
