Obviously we all know that, but when I was starting out EMGs were in the middle of an overswing/overcorrection to being "bland", "strident" or just "tinny"

Well, I'm using the 85 and two SAs and I love them very much.

I have to set the pickups much lower than I usually see EMGs set though. Have to make it play nice with the rest of my rig lmao

 
I'm not a fan of the 81, but I do like the 85 a lot. It sounds great with Marshall or Mesa amps. It's not for everyone, but I think it's one of the best active humbuckers to ever exist.

I love both the 81 and the 85

But it's the SA that has my heart. It's my favorite single coil sized pickup by a mile lol.
