Guitar Microphone
The EMG 85-8XH Chrome is a pick-up that reduces noise without stifling dynamics. It's ideal for the neck position on a pushed amp. Every chord stands out, even when tuned very low. The sustain is naturally stretched, without any smearing.

Presentation
Noisy mics under gain kill the mix, but with the EMG 85-8XH pickup this problem is solved at source. Even at maximum volume, it keeps the silence between notes.
Its Alnico V keeps the signal alive, without flattening it. The midrange cuts through the mix, while the bass remains tight. Sustain holds without drooling, even over a hard-plated chord.
The X-Series preamp responds to the slightest nuance. The attack remains dry and precise, with enough headroom never to compress. The VLPF refines the treble, even when playing solo.
The microphone can be fitted in a few minutes. No soldering iron required. 25K potentiometers, cabling, stereo jack and screws are supplied.
This humbucker handles very low tunings very well. It doesn't drool, it doesn't push too hard, it doesn't cheat. It lets you control everything, note for note.

To find out more...
Combined with another EMG in the neck, the whole effect remains homogeneous. With this model, the textures complement each other without overpowering the natural contrasts. This cohesion reinforces the overall balance of the spectrum.
Its silence favours superimposed ambient constructions. Each loop retains its clarity without extraneous noise.
In the eight-string arpeggios, the midrange sculpt each note. Nothing is crushed, everything breathes.
In drop E with high gain, the sound remains taut. The attack remains clean, never drowned out by compression.
