EMG Het Set

[Lasse Lammert]

kicks ass!

I just put the JH set into my ESP SV, to close the gap to the J50BC equipped RR1 a little, and it worked.

they sound a bit more passive with a bit more bottom end than the 81, they're still really tight though.
The output is quite a bit hotter than the 81s output!

you sacrifice a little of the "polished" sounding qualikties of the 81..only an 81 sounds like an 81, the JH does sound a bit different, but it certainly offers a more "passive" feel...liking it so far.

Interesting. They definitely do have something cool going for them. On this particular track I might even prefer them over the 81. The 81's tightness can be a great asset, but can also make stuff sound 2d. On this track, the JH makes the guitars sound a bit more alive, while still being tight enough for sure.

Thanks for the effort!

Sounds great to me

Lasse, can you post some DIs? It will be interesting to hear comparison between JH and J50BC.

 

[Lasse Lammert]

I don't have DIs of the J50BC in the same guitar.

this is EMG81 vs EMG JH in the same guitar

 

[deLuther]

At least JH DIs compared to 81.

i mostly use jh bridge these days, nuff said

 

[Rex Rocker]

JH seemed a bit brighter too... kinda "broader", more hi-fi with the added bottom end and top end.

I liked both.

Were you running both @9 or 18V?

 

[Lasse Lammert]

both at 9v

DO WANT.

Here's the downside:
Live (and in rehearsal) I'm using the old akg guitar bug system,
The manual of the receiver says, that the clip light should/could occasionally light up on very hard hits.
With the het it's lit pretty much constantly, and the little input adjustment screw is down all the way already.

Time for a new wireless I guess

yeah sounds nice, but 229€? hm.

 

[Mago]

But it's definitly a nice flavour damnit

In case anyone is interested, I e-mailed EMG about the possibility of getting just the individual bridge pickup from the Het Set. I was informed that they plan on selling the individual models in a few months from now.

hopefully, no need for a neck pickup

 

[Rex Rocker]

I wish these were available in plain flat-black like the rest of the EMG lineup.

 

[PhilTheBeard]

If any of you buy the het set's get it with the neck pickup!!! that neck pickup fucking slays....... and also they look sexy in my rga!
