I play for a year with these great micros.La reputation of my emg did prefer these models for others because being a fan of metal I like many are impeccable.
I started to get on my Epiphone G-400 Gothic and from that moment I rediscovered my guitar! But the quality of the violin being asser average microphones are just up the levels.
But a month after I did purchase a beautiful esp viper std also equipped with 81!
Slap, the power level is not comparable!
Violin making careful and superior species, shows once again that fits the guitar pickups.
The power of the micro requires precision from the player as they may bleed easily if it plays way too rough!
Ideal in rhythm as a solo, he can not appeal in his clear, it may seem cold and lack of roundness but is a matter of taste.
The price of a microphone, I think, because it can never excessive permetre to avoid changing a guitar, so the price / quality ratio is quite correct.
Never again will I be playing on less powerful pickups, the only alternative I could find to take this Dimarzio, Seymour Duncan or prs but the sound would not have the personality typical emg.
