All user reviews for the EMG S3

I use it for one month on my soon Lag AF200 centrale.Alors the position I have to say I love the sound of this microphone! Is my favorite ^ ^. It has a warm and crystalline id al for all that is funk, blues, or just plain has a beautiful sound and reggae with a wah-wah sounds of the fire god! : D
The sounds are so incredible you can attack carrment all styles of music which is not too saturated course is a single coil pickup, but that the characters. It may even realize there's a bit of chorus in the sound is beautiful and the more he has a good potato for the single coil can make the same goes Rock with her alone and there trs low in saturated grsillements when it does not clear but it is ultra quiet! So here I flash this mic I believe that with a single coil I never got a sound as warm and micro crystalline, with this I think if I were to later change the config or mics I will take this guitar without micro hsiter

I Referrer this choice? Yes and no hsiter one second

Well in my case I needed a single with more potato for the pair with my EMG HZ H4 bridge. So in the neck position this microphone is excellent ... I understand why many people say that h s'acharnent passive EMG are rotten! I who am very demanding on the quality of the sound, I find many trs. That said it is not either ... excetionel EMG is a registered rpute for its active pickups ... but I must admit that the pickups are passive EMG trs property, but not good as well the Seymour Duncan or DiMarzio ... the choice was made because on the one hand my budget was limited and the other had a dja HZ H4 bridge ... and even if I opted for the versatility, I was still homogne prfre that: it is that my guitars are all teams with the same brand of microphones (or that of Seymour Duncan, or that DiMarzio or EMG for example). It's a matter of taste ... It is always easier to couple a microphone by another of the same manufacturer to keep the consistency in the sound ... That said I know guitarists who like guitars "Frankenstein "(lol).

Returning to the microphone: sound is very strat especially clean and trs prcis attacks of mdiator. Enchantment for the solos in the round trip or sweep picking the 200 hours that's great! it has less power and gain as I dared esprer but sometimes follow the same HZ H4 qd ...

At the price quality ratio HZ any kind are great, but personally I do it again this choice only for teams of mid-range guitars with microphones origins are not ... not invest trribles bcp money you get more potential to bcp the guitar sound ... Or if you have the means to invest in assets or EMG Seymour Duncan, DiMarzio, Crel, etc. Do not hesitate ... ... the HZ become a solution for the budget INTERESTED and dpt of what I heard on the passive EMG, I find trs well!

I have this on my original microphone Jet Lag JM200 in neck and middle.
Gilmour very, very Lukather, identity is similar to that of SA.
Very little noise and gain of thunder, it's good for a single coil is very good for a liability.
Even being spent on Seymoor with my Charvel, I still register with the sounds very muffled and California's lead. To the beat is even better is by far one of the best passive single, a killer.
A touch of overdrive chanel clean, that's how I prefer it.

To listen on my myspace, the rhythmic songs "Console Me" are recorded in neck. The guitar is plugged directly on my Rocktron Rampage.

For over a year since I mounted my little Ibanez SA 260, I have therefore set up a central position in the neck position and a shareholder has in the bridge position EMG H4A (recall the config SA 260 = HSS).
Well, this was my first guitar at the beginning you think she is perfect, you end up finding him full of defects, we bought a guitar upper range (RG 1570), we forget time and finally with the experience we say that he missed very little to really be the hair ...
A change was therefore necessary to mic. With the purchase of a time between Lag Arkane 1000 (!) And its fantastic EMG active pickups, so I decided to graft a squad of passive EMG thinking it should already be conclusive ...
Result: A well rounded, very nice clean whether inter-or round, slamming into a very crunchy and very "malmsteenien" with a well balanced and disto matos adequate (Line 6 POD FARM and game 8-38 ). It really transformed my SA so that it is again one of my guitars its first plans for this very "characteristic".

The pros:
Sounds very good clean, crunch, distortion
The slamming of character, no breath

The -:
Not a huge level of output.

For the price, quality is at the rendezvous, a good choice if you want to upgrade your old guitar and give him a second youth, especially if you think like me as a guitar does not sell (on principle or out of nostalgia) in view of the number of hours of happiness she has given us.

YES because the EMG passive proves to be quite a compromise for designers who do not necessarily afford to go upmarket ...
