Presentation
EMG isn't playing on nostalgia here with the 85X Chrome pickup. Instead, it takes its original model and makes it more dynamic. It retains the Alnico DNA, but pushes expression further. Every note retains its density, even in busy registers.
He sticks to blues, rock and metal, without forcing the line. His voice remains musical in every situation. And its format adapts seamlessly to all Tune-O-Matic spaced guitars.
The plug-and-play system eliminates the need for soldering. The connectors simply click into place. Installation takes just a few minutes, and everything is included in the box.
The active VLPF control delivers beautiful nuance at the top end of the spectrum. The battery lasts for almost 3,000 hours, enough for several tours. No buzz to worry about, even without earthing.

The EMG 85X Chrome is a pickup that responds differently depending on your playing style. In palm mute, the attack remains precise and taut. On open chords, the width takes over without crushing.
For piezo layers, you need to fine-tune the EQ. The grain remains electric, but the result remains controllable.
With an 18V power supply, the response becomes more dynamic. The nuances of the attack gain in clear relief. The change is most noticeable on the lead parts.
