Who said emg's were extremely hot???????? hell no

[rombola]

actually i think the duncan distortion is way hotter , if i use my les paul with the distortion on the bridge i have to lower the gain on the amp , and whn i use my schecter with the emg's i have to crank the gain to get killer distortion

You'll find that alot of what people say about EMG is nothing but perpetuated myths and exagerations.

[vinterland]

what kind of EMG are you using? Cause really unless you have it installed wrong, an EMG will always be hotter in terms of output but maybe not to your ears. They definately have a cleaner sound and I think sometimes people mistake that for a less powerful tone.

emg 81's both positions , im not complaining about them i love the sound , i was just saying that the dd is hotter

[DeadSkinSlayer3]

I've been saying this for a long while. They simply aren't as hot as a DD, at all. They pack about the same punch as a Custom or C5, to me.

Exactly, and that is part of what makes em so versatile!

Impedence mismatches can do stuff like that.

I have an EMG 81 and it screams. I am getting a Duncan Distortion so I will compare the two later this week. . . .

I've actully been really interested in emgs lately. But I'de always heard they were super high output. But now that someone that ACTULLY USES THEM has said sumthing. I'm far less hesitant to try them. So thanks for the posting.

and Btw, Its really lame when people start giveing eachother crap over they're choice in pickups. Tone is a personal thing. So if ya got a problem with sumone else's idea of good tone. To bad. Keep your mouth shut.

But I guess its kinda dumb to expect a 15 year old (Erlend_G) to be anything other than hostile and idiotic.

One of the nice things about them is that they don't loose top end as you roll off the volume, so you can massivly reduce their output without changing their sound.

I resent that remark. Age has close to nothing to do with hostility or logic.

not all the time but the majority yes , i find you very mature dss i apologize for anything i said before to you

You know i have noticed that you do seem very mature for your age. It's refreshing to see that. Keep rockin bro.

Yeah, that is pretty true. Its more a matter of maturity. I mean theres just as many people in they're fiftys like that kid as there are people close ta your age like that kid. The human race is pretty hostile and illogical in general. So yer right, I probably shouldn't have placed ya in the same catigory as that lame kid.
So sorry. No offence intended towards you. I just tend to get irritated when people get all "My opinion is better than yours" on stuff.
So yet again, Sorry about that. I certainly wouldn't wanna imply that all kids your age are like that. And thats not what I was trying to mean. But it came out sounding that way. So sorry, no offence intended ta kids your age.....Ed

I figured you were speaking in absolutives without actually meaning to, and I appreciate the formal apology.

Although I can't blame you; most people in the age range at hand are complete dumbasses.

whaaaa?

... I've already proven that at times I can be unreasonable and stupid, but it certainly is never fair to say a particular age range is associated with certain negative characteristics... personality is irrelevant to age. The important thing is being able to recognize these things, right guys?

Anyway, IMO the EMG 81 is a pretty good and plenty hot bridge pickup, and the 60 is great tonally, even in my Ibanez and through my SS randall! Leads sing, and the cleans are almost as nice as they can be with SS.
