Re: emg 85 9v vs 18v

How does the EMG-81 Bridge sound in comparison to the 85 Bridge? Is it dirtier or more cleaned up?

MUCH hotter; distortion on low gain settings

Hey Kard,
Any chance of clips recorded through a mic off an amp. I have 81's and when through my PODxt they sound very different then when in my Marshall. You can't really get a good feel for pickups until played through tubes. just me.

I preferred 18v when I when I modded my EMG circuit, they sounded more "real"

If I had an amp I would, anyone willing to loan me their marshall half stack for a year or so? *grin*
