Re: emg 81 vs. dimarzio tonezone

EMG's suck. I used to be gaga over emg's when i first started and didnt know tone for squat..and when I cranked the mids low, and played with blinding walls of gain. If you like that kinda thing, then go for the emg. But dimarzio is a far better choice. Emgs are just dead sounding, and lack vibrance. but thats just my oppinion

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">nothing wrong with it but the lead stuff is kind of lost in the mix when you dip the mids.
I use a three channel amp so i can have a scooped rhythm tone and then have the lead channel set for medium mids for leads.
I never play rhythm and leads on the same tone or channel [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]
