This is a great kit that will delight all lovers of big sound!
Big sound? Not only, virtually everything is possible with these pickups, but I must admit they are more comfortable when playing at least the Heavy (I say at least eh!). Microphones powerful, precise, and frankly, I think they have a mouth!
The EMG 85 has a warm, round, 81 He is not in the lace, the sound is evil, cold and precise. Do not worry, if you play extreme metal such as death, grind or black, these microphones are in the ears without flinching. For me the EMG 81 is THE reference in terms of microphone to play metal (or noise lol).
Do you like the sound Hetfield, Hammett, Mustaine and Wylde? And of these pickups are for you! Do not be afraid of the stack, there are no parasites and it lasts a long time (against not let the jack plugged into the guitar, as some ... If so I know ...)
As against a flat there ... The torque from 85 to 81 is not homogeneous enough for my taste. And yes, there is a too big difference between 81 and 85, which prevents some players just to change the microphone during a song. It's just my opinion, you may not agree. Please note I am not criticizing the EMG 85 that a super micro, it really bothers me the couple (well it may well disturb me, this does not prevent me to own it ^ ^).
Therefore prefer an EMG 81 in the bridge position and an EMG 60 pickups in the neck (including configuration used by James Hetfield) means no difference to the change in microphone and the sound of the 60 is hot and will contrast the game without disturbing the scratch ^ ^
The difference was not its important I gave 10/10 for they are sacred microphones.
Price level is extremely correct with respect to the contribution of these pickups, especially finish and everything is included, even a few picks ^ ^.
EMG's reputation is second to none! It is impossible to be disappointed by an EMG active metal if you do;)
