As a follow up to a thread I saw today about EMG preamp clipping, I decided to test it out on my guitars at home.
The internal preamp in the EMG 81 is absolutely, positively clipping like crazy. Both my guitars with 81s suffer the same problem. The clipping is so loud with my Dean ML... Disgusting. Two sets of EMGs are now up for sale.
I'm heading out to a Skeletonwitch show right now so if y'all want sound clips, I'll post them later on or tomorrow.
If you have active pickups, test your guitar's DI output to determine if you have the problem too.
