Ernie Ball vs. D’Addario - Guitar String Comparison

I hope you enjoy my D’Addario vs. Ernie Ball string comparison video. If you think my videos are helpful, consider making a small donation through my website: Using my Jackson King V KV2 guitar and Line 6 amplifier (built-in Insane distortion mode), I compare the sound of DAddario ProSteels and Ernie Ball Stainless Steel strings. I use the bridge pickup - Seymour Duncan JB TB-4. Both DAddario ProSteels and Ernie Ball Stainless Steel have a bright, powerful sound. Theyre perfectly suited for heavy music mainly when played with passive pickups. Personally, I dont recommend these string sets for active EMGs. Because of their high output, EMGs create a dirtier sound and excessive oscillation with certain string brands. The third chapter of my EMG vs. Seymour Duncan video discusses the issue in detail. Ernie Ball’s and D’Addario’s nickel wound strings sound a lot better with EMGs in my opinion.
