Presentation
The EMG 85X Black Chrome takes the active humbucker concept to a new level. Its generous output retains character without sacrificing musicality. The signal remains clean, even through a complex effects chain.
With its Alnico V magnets and open voice, it gives more air to attacks. Sustain is maintained throughout the note, with no marked compression. Solo or rhythmic, the result is solid.
Its small size and full EMG compatibility make it easy to set up. You can switch from a passive microphone to this X version without any headaches. No need for a soldering iron or heavy modification.
It also has a discreet and effective active tone control (VLPF). And the Black Chrome colour catches the eye without glinting. Whether you're playing live or in the studio, this pickup is reliable.
