EMG EMG81 Active Pickup - Black

Product Information

In the graph above, the signal in each of t he coils output is shown in blue/red as well as the circuit output in orange. Unbalancing the differential amplifier is the simplest way to do tone modeling that is to say to move the resonant frequency of each of the coils in a different way to be amplified covering a wider spectrum of frequencies or double resonance. This enrichment will be traded for less hum canceling, but as far as it is below reasonable limits, there is no problem. The Dimarzio Dual Resonance patent US4501185 claims that winding the coils with the same number of turns but with wire of different gauge, the 60 Hz hum cancellation is emphasized without affecting the higher harmonics of the hum which may contribute to the desired tonal qualities.

These, however, are their most emblematic options, and what most players are used to benchmark against. It comes with a brighter and cleaner sound, and it is perfectly made for the bridge position of your instrument The coils are wired in a differential mode, so it is close to parallel topology because the output of the two coils is summed together, but they do not interact the way passive parallel coils do, so the DC resistance/inductance is not halved.Besides, their sound quality is cleaner, brighter, and sharp and slightly varies from each other. But on the other hand, EMG 85 does not have as much versatility as EMG 81 has. But with its less versatility, you can work it out to the best. 6) Configurations: Used by top players – users and signature artists include James Hetfield, Jeff Loomis, Zakk Wylde and David Gilmour. If you are into clean arpeggios with some chorus and delay, with the EMG 60 you'll find yourself in 80s metal intros instantaniously.

EMG81-X provides increased headroom giving the voicing an organic and open tone while still maintaining clarity and response.Well its the industry standard for that searing metal tone, Bands like slayer, In flames, even judas priest now use EMG's. The 81X produces a slight amount of noise, which is typically unnoticeable and should be fine when performing live. 4) Configurations – The EMG 81 is commonly used in the bridge position, giving high end cut and fluid sustain. It has a three pin header output which makes it easy to replace and mod without iron solder. The EMG81 has two variants: Used by top players – the list of Fluence users includes Devin Townsend, Greg Koch, Tosin Abasi and Stephen Carpenter, to name a few. We think that speaks volumes! Highest output – on average, their range offers pretty much the highest output on the market. If you’re looking to supercharge your guitar with consistently intense levels of gain, look no further.
