Ryan Bruce recently did a pickup shootout with several EMG sets. Can you hear the difference in these sets and which do you like if any?

I couldn't hear too much, if any(?) difference other than when he changed positions, string sets and doubled or octave'd and hamonized parts. That's a textural thing more than anything else. I'll take his word for it that they 'feel' different.
I have many pickups that react differently to my touch. That being said ... I'd choose the Het set. Probably because I like what he played every time those p'ups were in. *Good mic the Sm7b is! -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

If I wasn't listening for even a subtle difference I would not have noticed anything and honestly I'm not convinced there is any difference - ?
EMGs (actives) are a pretty specific and unique breed ... whatever the model. I would imagine that in order to 'really' hear a difference between models you'd have to start clean and then increase the gain gradually. As I know you've experienced - once you put that much gain on a solid body with humbuckers, regardless of the brand, active or passive - you're pretty much gonna be able to sound like that if that's how you play. The great thing about EMGs is that they are totally noiseless. This post has been edited by klasaine: Jul 8 2014, 01:23 AM -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

I didn't notice a difference either. This will be my second guitar that has EMGs 81-85s. Actually like the sound!
