Description
EMG F-Jim Root Daemonum Active Humbucker Pickup Set in Black
The EMG Daemonum set captures aggressive, articulate output with exceptional clarity across all six strings for recording and live tracking. Designed in collaboration with Jim Root, these active humbuckers are engineered for heavy, high-gain sessions where definition and punch cut through dense mixes without muddiness. The ceramic construction and custom retro active preamps deliver tight low end and cutting treble response that translates consistently to tape and DAW.
Tone & Active Electronics
A 3K DC resistance paired with ceramic studs in the neck position and black steel poles with ceramic magnet in the bridge creates a balanced yet aggressive voicing ideal for tracking and layering. The custom retro active preamps maintain consistent output and tonal control session to session, while the solderless wiring system eliminates installation complexity and ensures reliable signal integrity from first recording through final mix.
Installation & Setup
The EMG Solderless Install System includes everything needed for a straightforward swap: two 25k volume controls, two 25k tone controls, stereo output jack, battery bus, and mounting hardware. F-Spaced configuration fits modern high-output bridge positions, and the two-conductor plus battery wiring keeps the circuit clean and hum-free for studio and rehearsal work.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the F-Spaced configuration and why does it matter?
F-Spaced configuration aligns the pickup poles to match modern high-output bridge saddle spacing on contemporary guitars, ensuring proper magnetic alignment and consistent output. This is especially important for new instruments designed with wider bridge spacing.
Do I need to solder these pickups in, or is installation straightforward?
No soldering required—the EMG Solderless Install System handles everything, including volume and tone controls, stereo output jack, and battery bus. Two-conductor plus battery wiring keeps the circuit clean and hum-free, making installation simple and reliable.
What genres and tones are these pickups best suited for?
These pickups excel in metal, hard rock, djent, and high-gain recording applications where aggressive articulation and cutting definition are priorities. They are not designed for jazz, blues, or clean tones—their voice is built exclusively for heavy, punchy output.
How do the neck and bridge pickups differ?
The neck pickup uses ceramic studs for a tighter, more controlled response, while the bridge pickup combines black steel poles with a ceramic magnet for added aggression and treble cut. Together they deliver balanced yet aggressive voicing across the fingerboard.
What is included in the box?
The set includes two active humbucker pickups, two 25k volume controls, two 25k tone controls, stereo output jack, battery bus, mounting hardware, and complete wiring for a solderless installation.
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 $17 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.
