Just for fun - EMG comparison

[martyfireball]

OK, disclaimers first: there's nothing scientific or technical about this, it's just for fun and to let you guys hear.....but here's a quick and dirty (not to mention REALLY sloppy) bit of geetar with EMG-HZ (4A bridge, 4 neck) and then another take with EMG 81 (bridge) and EMG 85 (neck). Same guitar (Epi Zakk Wylde), same chain (Pod XT->focusrite platinum pro->RME Multiface II)
Which one's which?
1 and 2 are bridge, 3 and 4 are neck, but which is HZ and which is active?

Enjoy!

I'm going to say test2 is the 81 and test3 is 85

 

[Razorjack]

2 and 4, 81 and 85 respectively.

 

[Darkmatter]

2 and 4, 81 and 85 respectively.

I'm with Razorback.

 

[MilkAndCheese]

I think the HZs hold up well. I'm always hearing how bad they are.

 

[cameltoe]

same with razor 2&4 81&85

 

[WITH FULL DISTORTION]

track 1 emg hz, track 2 emg 81.
BUT the neck ones i´m not sure...
i guess track 3 EMG HZ, and track 4 emg 85 NECKS.
am i right?

 

[WITH FULL DISTORTION]

Yeah, i liked these emgs HZ´s
they loog tight and HOT.

Don't know (I suck at this !!!), but I'd thought the 1 & 3 were the neck pickups... Maybe 3 would be 85... Then I'd say 2 is 81...

 

[Kazrog]

Throw that 85 in the bridge position and it will sound better.

 

[kelch]

1 = HZ 4

2 = 81

3 = 85

4 = HZ 4a

 

[prititing]

1=81
2= HZ 4
3=85
4=HZ 4a

C'mon man, tell me. Wich one is what? This is what it sounds like to me

 

[martyfireball]

Holy shit, I just read this on your original post : "1 and 2 are bridge, 3 and 4 are neck"... I should read more carefully next time...

 

[The ORIGINAL South Of Heaven]

1: 81
2: HZ4
3: 85
4: HZ4A

 

[KillDivision]

1: 81
2: HZ4
3: 85
4: HZ4A

 

[martyfireball]

OK guys, I've kept you waiting long enough, the real answers are:
1 = HZ 4a
2 = 81
3 = HZ 4
4 = 85
