Geweldig

Een van de meest bekende metal humbucker voor een rede, heel goede klank zowel met gain als clean. Is ook heel mooi afgewerkt met alles dat je nodig hebt voor ze te installeren erbij geleverd.

Goed voor de prijs.

Solider amtlicher Tonabnehmer
TD---- 30.08.2022
Sound ist wie immer Geschmackssache – und Optik auch.
Der EMG 85 Chrome ist top verarbeitet. Allerdings ganz ohne Löten ging der Einbau dann doch nicht.
Die mitgelieferte Stereobuchse bringt z.B. nichts, wenn in der Gitarre eine Röhrenklinkenbuchse verbaut ist.
In meinem Fall war es eine Gibson SG Diabolo.
Klanglich ist der Tonabnehmer transparent, druckvoll und für härtere Gangarten bestimmt. Auch in der Bridge-Position gefällt mir der Tonabnehmer sehr gut, da er noch ein bisschen dicker als der 81er klingt.
Die Verarbeitung ist super, der Klang wie man es von einem EMG 85 erwartet und die Optik ist auch sehr edel.
Ist aber halt ein wenig charakterloser als ein passiver Pickup.

J'ai pris le duo 85/81 en chrome, bien mieux pour mon SG à mon avis que le set en plastique noir. Les 2 micros sont vendus séparément et les photos du site semblent de teintes différentes, mais finalement c'est bien un chrome homogène. Il faut 2 clés de 11 (potards) et 13 (jack femelle) pour le montage et de préférence un fer à souder pour enlever proprement les anciens micros sans couper les fils d'origine.
J'ai acheté aussi le sélecteur EMG que je conseille pour un ensemble complet de connections sans soudure....
