An agressive pickup

EnsiGeetard 03.02.2014

This thing sounds mean and it looks pretty sleek.

Very tight sounding tone for metal, I wouldn't use this pickup for blues/rock.

But I have to say that it sounded pretty nasal in my alder bodied-RR guitar, so I switched it out. I have yet to try it in a guitar with darker wood, you might have better luck.

Good sounding pickup, but not for everyone.

surely for metalheads

its pretty simple.... if you play metal and dont have a high output amp.... this is surely for you.....i personally have a high output amp so this is a bit of an overkill is some cases for me... but still loving the output it generates.. killer pup...
if youre not a metal head... look away and try AHB1 or AHB3 instead.

Toller Klang!

Ich habe mir diesen Tonabnehmer gekauft, um einen EMG81 zu ersetzen, der gerade bei Tunings unter Drop B (B Standard, Dropped A) etwas gematscht hat.

Beim Seymour Duncan allerdings bleibt der Klang wirklich klar, im Verzerrten, sowie im Cleanen Bereich.
Bei meiner Gitarre, einer Ibanez RGT6EX klappte der Austausch 1:1, da Seymour Duncan den selben Anschluss verwendet, wie EMG. Im Großen und Ganzen kann man den Tonabnehmer wirklich Empfehlen, und ich plane sogar den EMG85 (Halspickup) gegen einen weiteren aktiven Seymour Duncan zu ersetzen.

Die EMG Pickups sind wirklich nicht schlecht, aber gerade in bestimmten Verstärker / Effekt-Kombinationen neigen sie etwas dumpf zu wirken. Beim Blackout dagegen war der Klang bisher immer Klar und Brachial, egal bei welcher Verstärkereinstellung. Ich bin froh ihn gekauft und die EMG's ersetzt zu haben.

Vielen Dank nochmal an Thomann.de für die schnelle Abwicklung und den wirklich schnellen Versand. Besser gehts garnicht. Das war mit Sicherheit nicht mein letztes bestelltes Produkt.
