Do not get me wrong, the MM does not sound like an EMG at all, that would be an insult (compared to the MM, the 81 is, thin, brittle, has no character or soul, etc). I donīt wanne say that the EMG does not have itīs place too, but it really is a niche.
I might have chosen my wording wrong before. Let me try again
People look for certain things in a EMG, thats why they use it. The MM brings these things too, but in a another way. It speaks to the same basic idea of a sound, which is usually things like tight, fat, agressive, etc.
Black pepper in chilies are to very diffent things, yet they still bring heat.
The PK will probably be too try for you and the high mid spike is not optimal for you aswell I recon.
The Cpig, while brutal, is brutal in a different way, more crushing, too much bass for you I think.
The MM has a really nice lower mids, which are very important to you and most importantly, the propper character, tone signature if you will.
Hope this made my earlier points clearer.
Now letīs wait for all the people who know these PUs more than me.
