EMG users: Post what you think is the tone curve of EMG 81 ?

[WICKED LESTER]

I am having a hard time really nailing the tone curve of my 81' 85's in numbers?
the duncan stuff i use would be,
DD
bass 5
low mids 6
upper mids 8
treble 9
output 400MV


Custom would look like this
bass 7
low mids 6.5
upper mids 5
treble 9
output 365MV


What do you think the 81 or the 85 looks like in numbers?

Could be. I find the 81 sounds similar to a Dimebucker, so I just looked at the tone chart and knocked a bit off the bass end.

No chart for the 81 though. Vinterland only has an 85....
