I installed an EMG 81 into my Jackson PS-4 guitar a while ago. But I have some problems with it.
First, my clean channel is a little distorted. I emailed EMG about this and they told me to lower the gain on my amp and to lower the pickup. On my Behringer GX110 Ultraroc amp there isn't a gain control for clean channel so I can't lower the gain. I have my pickup quite low so it shouldn't be an issue.
Second, I don't think I'm getting the distortion EMG should give. It's mayby worse than it was on my DiaMarzio Humbucker from hell that came with the guitar and it should be a lot better. One thing I noticed was when I changed the battery, the tone was MUCH better and clean channel wasn't as distorted as it is now, but after about an hour of playing the tone back to what it was before changing the battery.
This is very annoying so if somebody can help I would be very pleased.
