These are fitted into a old Korean made Epiphone Flying v, I used the fitted emg quick connects from a previous install of EMg 81/60.
Overall I was after that more late 70s early 80s metal sound, Super Distortion sort of tonal area.
Sound is defiantly there, bot pickups balance well, at present the neck is louder but that might be as it is higher than the bridge. The neck has a very creamy distortion higher up the neck and works well on solos. The bridge is more balanced around the neck and can be a bit brittle on the higher notes.
Chords ring out nice and fat with good note separation.
I'm using this with a modded Orange Tiny Terror to sound more like a JCM 800.
Overall these for me are a massive improvement over the 81 and 60 which I didn't gel with and struggled to get a pleasing tone with. The pick ups are as quiet as other active pickups.
Very happy with this purchase and has gotten me into the tone area I wanted without sounding like a super Distortion.

WOW ! Geweldig geluid !

Ik was overdonderd door de sound van deze PU's. Ze hebben een helder geluid met lekker veel oomph! niet zo gecompressed zoals de 81,85 en 60 van EMG. Perfecte combinatie met mijn Mesa Dual Rec die anders nogal donker klinkt en soms slecht door de mix snijd maar nu wel! Super happy ermee. Nu nog ff doorsparen en dan de 55 set testen !

Nach anfänglichen Lieferverzögerungen kamen sie endlich an.
Die Verpackung ist sehr edel und alles was man braucht ist dabei.
Das Montieren dank des Solderless Systems schnell über die Bühne gebracht, man kennt es.
Der Sound: Ich finde sie klasse. Ein schöner, dreckiger Rock Sound, noch dazu mit den Vorteilen von aktiven Pickups. Ausgewogen und sie drücken nicht so viel wie man vielleicht erwarten würde, eben richtig Old School
Von mir eine klare Empfehlung, zu mal mit 179 ¤ gar nicht mal teurer als manch andere Sets!

Ho cambiato vecchi pickup che non mi avevano mai entusiasmato più di tanto, questi Pickup hanno trasformato la mia chitarra, sono costruiti davvero bene e sono facilissimi da montare, non ho nessuna critica negativa da fare, li consiglio a chi ama un suono potente e allo stesso tempo versatile.
