yt: EMG 57 (new model) vs 81 vs JH

[Lasse Lammert]

EMG were king enough to send me some of their new models, so I could record this little comparison for you:

 

[Nimvi]

Great comparison as always! The 57 doesn't sound bad. Buuuut I still prefer the 81 over it. I'm not sure if I like the 57 better than the JH though. They both have their thing going on

 

[JeffTD]

First impression was that the difference wasn't that big but that I preferred the 81 to the 57 to the JH. Listening back on monitors, 57 and 81 sound similar with the 81 having a sharper pick attack and slightly tighter low end. JH is sounding similar to the 57 but with a looser low end.

I'm guessing the amp was dialed in for the 57? A less thick guitar tone might tell more as well.

Great comparison Lasse! How are they in relationship to each other in terms of output?

 

[Lasse Lammert]

Output ist pretty much he same on all of them

How's the greenback-v30 combo sound???
Got any more clips of this combo??
As for the clip I still prefer the 81...

Great stuff mate!

 

[Lasse Lammert]

No more clips of that combo, sorry.
But live I'm a huge fan of that combination

How does it sound with your 50watt soldano ?
if you have tested it.Do you think the combination could work for more classic metal styles?

Thanks a lot!

Certainly a good combination for classic metal, no doubt about tht
