EMG 81 VS EMG 81X - clean, crunch, high gain, lead!

Hey guys, in this video I am comparing the EMG 81 and EMG 81X, both in bridge position of my Charvel Model 5A. Here are the amp models used for the sound. Clean: Fender Twin Reverb Crunch: Friedman BE-OD 100 High Gain: Mesa Boogie Dual Rectifier Lead: Mesa Boogie Mark IV There is some difference between the 2, the EMG 81X has less output and low end, with more treble to my ears, and more dynamic. (EMG 81’s clean is not bad I would say) Both are great but personally I just prefer the EMG 81 for metal.
