Pasiva es más redondita!! Más suave!

I'm a bit confused, are they all that were made before 2019 indonesian made, I just saw a pair of H4 and H4A and they are labeled EMGHZ and on the back it says made in USA? Considering trying this set and I never really played any EMG pickups

HM-2 should be dialed back a bit -- should sit slightly behind overdriven high gain amp.

Is that a Strat body? It looks thinner and sleeker…I like it.

OD808x ftw 😊

OMG that strat makes me moist.

@1:46 that cat did not understand they were supposed to MOSH

Very nice! Love that new guitar.

Loved it. Straight to the point and no "look at me blah blah BS". At the end the favorite it's going to be personal taste. I'm really loving the Grind on a Rectifier but a Super OD on a Soldano, and so and so. Great vid!

I guess I'm sticking to my peavey 4x12 cab for a longer time. I feel like replacing it with greenbacks but I do like the sound when I got then.... it's tad cheap too

The one pickup strat is fly as hell. Why keep what you don’t use?

Goddless Devotion?? Love Feared!!!

i hate distortion when comparing pickup, its all the same, it got compressed, gain ruin them all

I think you should down tune your guitar more. You'll get better tone that way.

I have a EL34 212ST which came with Chinese G12EVH so this whole thing doesnt even make sense.

great comparison, i have a peavey 4x12 very old with sheffields i definitely will keep the sheffields, i have a randall with jaguars and i will keep them too, i have a couple of marshalls with whatever comes in marshalls amd i just dont use them because the old peavey and randall sound great, the marshalls just sound good enough, i forget what marshalls they are but they are not mg or any of the cheap ones, they are old and very common marshalls , replacing stock guitar speakers that sound good and are not blown with actually kinda shitty cheap speakers like celestion and eminence doesnt make sense for me, i do not know how much they cost but the speakers themselves have to be cheap to make compared to their cost, for a real upgrade you got to go higher than shitty oem type guitar speakers, EV,JBL,Altec,Fane that type stuffis an upgrade

I prefer the warmth and lowend of the sheffields allthough it might be cool in a 4x12 cabinet to use 2 celestions and 2 sheffields to add some additional focus and mids.

I have a guitar with an EMG H4. I had a Les Paul with them in it. They are so sterile. I can't stand passive EMGs.

I have an EMG H4 and H4A in a Jackson King V that came stock in the guitar and it’s one of the best passive pickups I’ve ever played through in my guitar playing career. It’s got everything I love about regular passives in regards to the actual output of the pickups so I won’t go overboard with the gain, as well as both pickups having rails instead of pole pieces, which is what I would argue the absolute best part about these pickups. With that being said, I’ve been dying to get my hands on a Deathbucker bridge/Alumitone neck combination so I can have a set of pickups that would blend perfectly with my Solid State amps and let me play through them without needing a boost. I’ve been eyeing the lace Alumitone set to use going straight into my Randall RG3003 which is an absolute beast of a solid state head. Considering how tight the Deathbucker sounded in this demo, I have a feeling I’m fixing to be really happy with the results I’m about to get because the Randall is one of those amps that sounds beautiful going straight in. I’ll definitely be experimenting with boosts too like the Boss SD-1 and hopefully a TC Electronic Spark Booster if I can get my hands on one in the near future.

The EMG has more mids but I hate the brittleness. I honestly think an SH4 trembucker would sound better yhan either more mids but nicer and a smoother top end. Nice build btw 👍

hi, is it possible to unsolder emg h4/h4a paired with a single pickup for a 5 way switch in my ibanez prestige?

We call them SHITFILLED for a very good reason. V30 all the way, there's no comparison.

Thanks!!

Which ohm dou you use for v30?

Kudos for not talking in between the changes!

Bro, the quality of this video is so damn good.

Tasty

🔥🔥🔥

Great job! Dirty tone and clean playing.

footswitch ?

Sounds freakin awesome!! Which is the bridge pickup are you using in this lovely demo? Thanks in advance 🙌🏻

just noticed the deafheaven poster 😂

It took me a minute to realize that your Stratocaster is an early Jim Root signature edition.

Thanks! Great vid - no talking, straight to the point! Love it and bought both the passive ones.

Kinda like both... would like an HZ in the neck and DB in the bridge.... although the amp choice and settings would be way different...

A 0:16 0:59 B 0:48 1:31

Gut Job!

Anniversary's sound more aggressive/tighter in my opinion.

1 angry strat nice

Thanks for the comp. I was thinking of buying used Peavey cab with Sheffields. They’re not bad but I would replace with WGS speakers.

I like the Creamback better its more open better balanced and is smooth let with more clarity. Rhe greenback sounds quite honky and nasal which is the greenback sound. The creambackis more articulate in the lows as well . Even though the creambaxk is supposed to be a higher powered version of the greenback they sound quite different. The Creamback M65 and the Heritage G12H30 75hz are more 2 current favorite speakers. They mix together amazingly well very full and fat but also bright and defined .

shape the pre eq and bosst the amp gain with hm2, but use the amp dist instead of the pedal dist, coz the amp dist is far better, right?

This is insane... did you have prior knowledge of their settings? (Exhumed, Entombed, etc) How long did it take to find the right EQ?

Nailed it

Nice vid. Awesome riff. Emg passives are way better than people want them to be.

Great cover of Feared! Loved it.

This Sheffield sounds more AC30 like - more nasal, with a cutting high end and absence of low end... Which I like, and more specifically like in a mix, that guitar needs to get above the kick drum, the snare drum, floor tom, and bass guitar. Listening in isolation like this can be deceptive. Our ears like fuller, rounded sounds... but that's what you achieve in the mix, where each element of the mix fills in and rounds out the sound. You've got kick drum and bass to anchor the mix, that solid low foot that everything sits on, and conversely, you've got ride, crash, hihat for the shimmery top, and then everything else in the middle fighting it out. But all together the mix sounds full and rounded. You don't get a mix like that with each element sounding full and round. If you try to pile all that together, you get a middy, marsh and it sounds horrible. So, I've always liked a higher end, cutting guitar sound... something the AC30 is known for. I never knew I liked the AC30, thought it was, like, a retro, Beatles sort of amp... until I found out a lot of the contemporary guitar sounds I like were recorded with AC30's! I will say this about the Sheffield, for regular playing, practicing, writing, even recording, I like the sharp high end of the Sheffield, but I usually play/record my amp on 1 (and still bother the neighbors) but day, in the middle of the day, I turned my amp half way to like 4 or 5, and it was instant ear damage... the high end was so piercing, so painful, it was horrendous. So... to REALLY judge an amp and speaker, you really need to be there in the room, and you need to listen at various volume levels. The EQ of our ear changes at different volumes, yeah, that's right, we hear a different mix of frequencies at different volumes. So, to really know what you like, and what works, you've got to listen also at really high volumes... that dark muddy speaker that was laughably bad at 1, might be PERFECT at 5 (I don't know if you can play a hundred watt head at 10, full volume, without disrupting air traffic and getting the feds on your a55... maybe even bring down a satellite too... sh!t is beyond loud).

Nice comparison, mate! That Fender never knew what hit it! 🔥

you still have this guitar?
