Sorry man, totally missed that post.
I like them - they're pretty accurate in all frequencies, kind cloudy in the lower mids I suppose. I don't regret buying them, but I'd probably go for some Yamaha HS80's instead.

Oh my god... this amp absolutely LOVES passive pickups! Here's the JB clip:

Hehe, now it sounds a BIT more like what I get from it, though I'll definately be switching to 6L6's (and a JB).
How fucking lively do the passives sound though!! Man, I do like certain things about EMG's, but there's no way in hell that, at this point in time, I would have a guitar with only actives.

It's great to have two guitars that are almost identical, one with 81's and one with a JB/Air Norton.
Also remixed the 81 track with less damn bass:

thank you, really sounds nice also with passives.
very close I think to the 81. not so much differences.

dude, that sounds REALLY good, the emg81 one moreso than the JB version. i didn't really think of the JSX as heavy amp, but apparently i was mistaken 
so, how's the crunch channel? you said it's your lead channel, but do you need an overdrive of some sort to get the gain up high enough, or is it like the framus cobra crunch channel e.g. in the sense that crunch isn't really CRUNCH but more like a less gainy version of the lead channel with a different voicing?

I hate to hijack dude, but can anyone send me the Sneap samples or has them hosted somewhere? Andy's link doesn't seem to be working for me. Thanks.,

Great playing there DSS3!!! really tight.
That intro is great!
I think JB sounds better anyway in these clips

yo, DSS, it's good to hear that your playing has improved a lot since you started posting clips way back.
Cheers for the clip of the JB. It almost goes without saying for me that I prefer the clip of the 81, as the rhythmic nuances are so much more pronounced. The JB has a nicer, more lush thing going in the midrange however. That amp would probably love some quad tracking with a cross of actives and passives.

Alright, this'll make things a bit easier!
Same riff, same settings, same mix, different pickups:

Holly crap!! Playing the same riff makes it sound tons closer. In the first 81 clip you posted I seem to remember it sounding alot more compressed, but back to back, that isn't so.

DSS3, I've read through your previous posts about the 5150 head.
After testing those amps, which one do YOU prefer ? (JSX or 5150)
From what I listened to, I like the JSX better.
But, maybe you just improved yourself in the way you recorded, tracked and mix everything
fuck, you're only 16 and already got 2 of these huge valve amps. Already 22 and I still never owned one of them.... its gonna happen
