EMG/Blackouts Question.
EMG/Blackouts Question.
I tried them for the first time the other day in our local shop. They were in a descent Schecter and I played them through a Valveking half stack. After Fiddling around with the amp a bit, since the kids on there before had everything cranked to 10!, they sounded great. I plan on getting them as soon as I get some money and putting a set of them in my Eclipse. IMO they blew the EMG's away, but then again I was never big on EMG's in the first place.
damn, now I'm curious. I just put EMG's back in my V. I couldnt find any passives I liked for it and I'm no too fond of the EMG's either. The best I found was with 2 85's. I was thinking about running an MXR 10 band eq up front to try and "mimic" my duncans. At least enough to switch guitars without having to do a massive change in my amps EQ.
Maybe I should try the B-out's. Heard they're "fuller" EMG's but I also heard the same about running EMG's at 18 volts. Sadly that wasnt true.

Sorry just realized this was a very outdated post
I'd prefer to stick with passive's but of course I'm always looking for something different. It's the curse of being a musician. You always want something new or different. My Dad (also a musician) told me "as a musician, you'll never be satisfied with what you have. There's always more"
thats so right ...... :lol
can somebody of you guys who have blackouts and teh EMGzorsz make a clip comparing eachother, with the same amp setting and maybe even the same guitar? that would solve a lot of questions for people...
that would be killer. I dont want to drop the $$$ on blackouts to be once again disappointed. I cant find any guitars around here that have them stock either.
they are
some cool shit
