Published on 05/26/11 at 14:21I play modern metal given below, I played for years on EMG81 so I compare with them I know by heart.
First, the Blackout send more gain is undeniable and I've tested so far that without the jumper, he sent with more gain, I will publish this review after I take the test . First thing I do is to fall for there have less gain, as my boost and gain of the amplifier was set to 81, if you drop it too loses its charm if we mount it too Larsen everywhere, so I found a good compromise and despite that I still fell a little input from my multi (GT-Pro) and there was pretty cool.
It is less sharp than the EMG, but also less synthetic or less "harsh" but hey I mounted the Presence of my slightly ENGL Savage120 and it did so. Then the microphone sends more serious, not huge maisun little more anyway, unless it is dug into the meds and even a nice bump in the high mids that gives it a really nice modern side.
What I liked most is the balance of this micro compared to 81, and palm mute chords are the same level, there or EMG boost the PM but was light wholesale agreement (in my taste) even in saturated arpeggio is more musical, I liked.
I have not had the opportunity to try the plain, I feasted too saturated ^ ^ so no opinion yet.
So good alternative at 81, I will test out the other Blackout at the moment but I feel the need.
nb: Thanks to the "Quick Connect" no need to unsolder anything if you switch from an EMG to those, we unplug it reconnects the plug three son and that's all, well done.
