EMG Revelation Passive Humbucker Pickup Set in Black
The EMG Revelation passive humbucker set delivers warm, balanced tones without active circuitry or battery dependency. Built around classic alnico construction with modern precision winding, these pickups work as a straightforward drop-in replacement, offering articulate mid-range clarity and natural sustain that cuts through live mix without coloration. The included solderless wiring system eliminates soldering—critical for gigging musicians who need reliable, stage-ready gear without downtime.
Tone & Magnetic Response
Alnico 2 magnets paired with measured gauss output—250 at the neck, 300 at the bridge—produce responsive, dynamic voicing with smooth high-end roll-off. DC resistance figures of 13.8K (neck) and 13.5K (bridge) keep the pickup set in the mid-output range, preserving note definition and articulation across all six strings. On stage, these specs translate to pickups sensitive to your dynamics and technique, retaining clarity whether you're digging in or playing light.
Installation & Wiring Convenience
The solderless system ships with all necessary components: dual 500k volume and tone potentiometers, stereo output jack, two-pickup in/out bus, mounting hardware, and connecting cables. No soldering required—simply insert the color-coded connectors and secure the pickups in your instrument, making this set accessible for users of any technical skill level. Ideal for touring players or anyone who needs reliable gear swaps without a tech station.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do these pickups require a battery or active power?
No. The Revelation set is fully passive with alnico 2 magnets and no active circuitry, so there's no battery to change or electronics to power.
Will I need to solder these pickups in?
No soldering required. The set includes a complete solderless wiring system with color-coded connectors, 500k volume and tone pots, stereo jack, and all mounting hardware—just connect the cables and secure the pickups.
What's the output level, and how will it sit in a band or recording mix?
The Revelation sits in the mid-output range (250 gauss neck, 300 bridge, 13.8K and 13.5K DC resistance respectively), so it won't be overly aggressive or too subtle. This voicing preserves articulation and pick dynamics while remaining balanced and versatile.
What comes in the box?
The set includes both humbuckers with black covers, 500k volume and tone potentiometers, stereo output jack, pickup bus connector, two pickup cables, four connect cables, mounting hardware, and a complete wiring harness.
What skill level is this suitable for?
The solderless design and complete wiring system make this accessible to beginners, intermediate players, and advanced users alike—no prior wiring experience needed.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $15 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states. Buyers remain responsible for any use tax their state applies. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included.
