EMG-81TW [ Winter NAMM 2008 ]

11 December 2007 — Noted for its aggressive crunch and blistering highs, the EMG-81 active pickup has for over three decades been a constant in the heavy metal community. Today, the company has added the EMG-81TW pickup to its range giving players added versatility and the choice of the original EMG-81 dual coil sound and a single coil sound, all from the same pickup. By utilising dual active preamps, the well-known dual coil sound can be easily accessed while the new single coil sound may be selected via the push/pull pot provided. Another feature of the EMG-81TW is the company’s proprietary triple coil arrangement that delivers virtually noiseless performance in both single and dual coil modes. In addition, the new EMG-81TW can be hooked up to a number of the company’s accessories, such as the SPC Presence Control, EXG Expander or PA2 Preamp Booster. The EMG-81TW includes the company’s exclusive Quik-Connect™ cable, prewired push/pull volume/tone set, output jack, battery clip set, screws and springs.
