With ESP LTD Iron Cross & Tokai LP Customs into Mesa/Boogie Mark V into Marshall 4x12 cab w/ Marshall Vintage speaker mic'd with a single Shure SM57.
I forgot to compare the bridge pickups on a clean tone and compared accidentally the neck pickups twice but who uses the bridge pickups on clean anyway :-).

Great video! I just acquired the Zakk Wylde 81 85 pickups and the 81 was a bit too thin for my taste.....switched the 85 in the bridge and the 81 in the neck and it was almost perfect....the 81 really sung in the neck being such a bright pickup it just sounds great in the neck....the 85 was also perfect in the bridge, sweet but also knarly especially when I reduced the space between the pickup and the strings to 1mm distance. Now the 85 was just a tad bit muddy but when I converted to 18 volts it was like a Eureka moment for tone....the 18 volts tightened the bottom end on the 85 and it sounds amazing!!!!!! Much happier with this combo now compared to the original configuration. 🤘 Also I remember reading that the 85 was originally developed for a alnico magnet bridge pickup. Great videos! Keep them coming.

I just haven't felt the need to spend 200 bucks or more on a set that I might not like as much as the 57/66's. They do everything for me.

A few years ago, when i bought myself a Het Set, after I installed them and played with them in the guitar for only a few minutes before I stopped, I had to get myself more EMGs, like right away! I went back to the shop, and I got the 81 / 85 combo some 90min after I had bought my first set of EMGs, they were surprised to see me back so soon! Yes, it really only took less than 5 min to decide to get more EMGs. After years of noisy high output passive pickups i just couldn't believe how quite they were, and how massive the tone was compared to high output passives.

For my Alder guitars I replaced the 81 with 85 in the bridge position. Same punch, but the overall sound is way more balanced. Always remember befor you change your pickup, change your bridge. If you have a shitty low quality bridge, your new pickup can't do the wonder most people expect from this swap.

I do love the tone of the 60 in the bridge, but I noticed slightly lower output (which wasn’t terrible), but the deal breaker was the feel. I had to work harder to get the same mojo I find effortless with other pickups, and in particular, pinch harmonics were less consistent. Still a great choice none the less... I’m now using 57 and het in the bridge depending on guitar these days. Does what I need them to do. 🤘🏽🤘🏽

Hey man! I love your channel, it made me open my eyes for active pickups so much I'm going to get my first EMG set. Do you think I should start with the classics 81/85 or go more for the PAF vibe of 57/66? I'll put them in a 90s Burny Les Paul Custom pretty similar to your Tokais. I'm used to high output Duncans such as the JB, RTM, Frankestein, Distortion e etc. I play mostly 80s glam metal and hard rock stuff. And another stupid question if you don't mind LOL... Is your 57/66 set in plain gold or brushed gold? I don't really know which finish option would match the gold hardware on my Burny. Thanks in advance brother... Keep up!

Euge, hello Question about your Suhr load box, when you use cabs you prefer an 8 ohm load? I own the Ox, would you recommend running amps with a single cab set to 8 ohms instead of 16. I see the Suhr is 8 ohms only. Thank you for your videos, information and of course the music. Dean Richards
@EugeValovirta230V
@EugeValovirta230V Год назад
The speakers in my Marshall cab are 16 ohm so I use 16 ohm from my amps. If the speakers would be 8 ohm I’d use 8 ohms out from my amps 😎. You can use 8 ohm out from the amps into a 16 ohm cab / speakers (sounds a bit quieter etc.) but never the other way around ’cos you’d probably end up blowing the speakers or the amp or in the worst case both.

Have you tried the 24 volt mod? I just tried it recently with an EMG 81/85 set. It seemed to give them a bit more output and clarity. Also, a bit more low end while somehow being tighter. I switched back and forth several times, and I don’t know what I prefer. I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily a “better” sound, but it definitely has it’s merits.

As far as the bridge position is concerned I’ve never liked 81s. To me they are way too thin. It does depend on the guitar and wood a bit, but overall it’s just not good to me. I’ve always preferred an 85 wired 18v in the bridge spot. I have had a 57 in a mahogany strat before, and I have the Het Set in two of my guitars. I think the 57 sounds a lot fuller than an 81, but not quite as aggressive. To me the JH bridge pickup is pretty much a blend of a 57 and an 81. I always thought I preferred the JH out of the two but hearing you play them back to back I kinda like the 57 better.

Hi Euge. Have you tried the 24 Volt Mod? I have tried the Mod with some of my old 90s EMGs and they sound like totally new pickups. Much fuller, more dynamic, and responsive to touch. And the Mod is something like $30 USD. Much cheaper than a new or used pickup. 12 volt batteries are just a little harder to find in stores than 9 volt. Also, most EMG accessories use 18 volts max, so if you have one of EMG's tone controls you should probably not use the Mod to be safe. I like the EMG EXG midrange scooper and so for that guitar I use 18 volts only. I am not a big fan of the trend of pickup makers trying to combine bright active pickups with PAF voicings. To me these are opposite sounds. I would recommend that EMG players try their old 81/85 active pickups in 24 volts before trying new pickups. You can always just unplug the mod to go back to 9 volts, and the Mod takes up much less space in the guitar than 2 9 volt batteries in series. The Mod works with any EMG model. And the advantage of any modern active pickup over most passives is you can just plug them in instead of spending an hour soldering complicated passive wiring mods. For that reason, for metal I tend to prefer actives live but passive with mods in studio if I need a lot of different sounds. If players like the basic EMG sound but want more wiring options, the EMG HZ passive line is very underrated. They have 4 conductor plus ground like normal passives so you can do wiring mods. Active EMGs usually require special models or accessories to do phase/parallel/series/split. The HZs are a little quiet but the amp can make up for it. Thanks as always for your videos. You teach us so much. 🤘🤘🤘🙏🙏🙏

No idea. I don’t use any measurement tools. Just wherever it feels good on any particular guitar 👌.

Ah yes, my favorite vice. Dorking around with pickups! Man, I can't even tell which one of these sets I like the most. I have all of them ... more than one each 😂The Het Set bridge has that incredible shred, the 81 has the famous growl. The 57 is a bit on the bright side, so that one will usually go in a darker guitar. For rhythm on the neck pickup, I like the 60 the most. The 66 is very nice for leads, while the Het is somewhere in the middle. That reminds me that I don't have a guitar with an 85 at the moment. I'm modifying one right now, that one will get it - haven't decided on the position yet because it's great in both.

Is it just me or do clean tones tend to clip due to the high power of the pickups?

Is anybody realize that with the metal distortion and metal style playing nobody can hear the guitar sound? So video like this present how not to figure out how the pickup sounds. earpiece, or without. Is hard to find any video where I can hear how the guitar sound.
