Nice clips.  Are those axes setup with an 85/85 combo and a Breed-n/Breed-b combo?

Both have 500K pots.
Even the 85's?

85/81 in the red one....BREED/EVO Neck in the other...

500K in the EMG...that is way they recommended in the instructions. :icon_smile:

Your EMG's not come with pots? :icon_scratch:
 
The EMG actives are supposed to have 25k pots, why the 500's?

That's what I was thinking.

my bad...you both are correct...the EMG came with pots.  I am so confused... :confused4: :confused4: :confused4:  I have wired 4 guitars in the past 12 months and it is all blending together. :tard:

correction...EMG used their own pots...DiMarzio recommeds 500k but can be used with 250k.  Sorry....
 
Haha, no biggie, both guitars sound great! Between the two of 'em I like the EMG85
 
The comment about EMG 85's have that sound, can you clarify that statement.

I have EMG 81/85 & 81/SA combos in several guitars? I can tell you EMGs do not sound the same in every guitar. I know that for a fact. Wood and build style makes a difference. My PRS C24 and My Gibson LP Gothic are both equipped with 81/85 pups and neither sounds the same. My Hamer Californians with the 81/SA pups sound much different. Then throw both my Warmoth Soloist & Tele in the mix with the 81/85 pups and I can show you six different sounding EMG guitars.

Wood and amps will make the most noticeable difference.
 
That was an excellent A/B comparison.  I'm an EMG guy through and through, but in your comparison (albeit comparable but different guitars) I think the Breed sounded better.  Are the amp settings the same for each comparison?
 
Would I need a F-spaced pickup for the neck in a guitar with a Floyd?

I have both in 2 similar guitars (korina body--maple top--maple neck).  You said heavy rythem...so I am assuming you mean with some distortion.  The EMG does have more output and and is 100% hum free.  Take a listen to the guitar sound on the new Judas priest album...there you have it....

The BREED rock too.  Very thick and solo well too.  Harmonicas are not as good as the EMG.  But the BREED will clean up very well too.

I will gladly make you a clip comparing the two...tell me what you want to hear...clean, heavy distortion....mild distortion???
 
I haved used them with floyds and Kahlers.  With my gotoh 510, I used a normal spread.
