Being a typical guitarist, I had to have what Zakk had, and bought a set of active EMGs. Luckily in the interests of science and improving mankind's musical progression, I had the foresight to record a sample of the sound prior to the pick-up swap. I was then able to record and compare this to the new pick-ups after installation.
The samples were recorded on the same day, with the same settings and strings.
I'll not tell you which pick-up is which in the sample, but I was surprised at the result. Enjoy!
