The preamp integrated into the active EMG pickups has been redesigned. In doing so, tried-and-tested EMG sound concepts have been enhanced with a new, transparent and dynamic tonal character. Many guitarists who have previously steered clear of active pickups will be delighted by the X Series.
Features:
Ceramic Magnets, the ultimate heavy metal humbucker
High-output humbucker with long sustain
Newly developed preamp with an open and dynamic sound concept
Can be used in both neck and bridge positions, but recommended as a bridge humbucker when combined with the 85-X/60-X
Complete with potentiometers, switch jack and battery clip

THE "ultimate" metal active pickup has an upgrade now! Also the same as the original EMG 81, but has some modifications to handle the drop tunings better and comes with an active tone control. Also a main board is included to help make almost any wireing diagrams. Jack output ring, battery connector and quick connect cables are also included. Very easy building without soldering! The sound is very definied and clean with lots of gain - of course. High output signal with lots of highs - this is the active EMG. The price is more than fair for theese features.
I use Emg 81 in my other guitars and I am very satisfied. I wanted to buy Emg 81 to replace the emg passive magnet of my Alexi 600 guitar, but I couldn't find it so I bought the active Emg 81 X. I did the installation myself easily and I am happy with the sound. It doesn't search for emg81.
