EMG Jim Root Daemonum Active Humbucker Pickup Set in Black
The Jim Root Daemonum set delivers the aggressive, articulate response designed specifically for extreme metal and high-gain applications. These active humbuckers combine ceramic and steel magnets with EMG's proven preamp topology to cut through dense mixes with clarity and definition. Built in the USA, this set arrives complete with everything needed for installation and immediate use.
Tone & Electronics
The active preamp eliminates unwanted noise while outputting a low-impedance signal that maintains articulation even at extreme gain settings. DC resistance of 3K paired with ceramic/steel magnets (bridge) and ceramic magnets (neck) generates tight, focused output with minimal feedback—critical for cutting through a live mix without losing definition under distortion.
Installation & Included Hardware
Setup is straightforward thanks to EMG's exclusive Solderless Install System, which eliminates traditional wiring complexity and gets you stage-ready fast. The complete package includes two 25K volume controls, two 25K tone controls, battery bus, stereo output jack, 2-pickup in/out bus, mounting hardware, and all necessary cables.
