EMG F-Jim Root Daemonum Active Humbucker Pickup Set in Zebra
The EMG F-Jim Root Daemonum set captures aggressive, articulate output ideal for tracking high-gain material and modern metal productions. Jim Root's signature active design combines ceramic and steel construction with stud-pole configuration to produce tight, defined tones across the frequency spectrum. This pickup set is engineered to deliver clarity and punch in the mix without compromise, translating well to both close-miked amp recording and direct-to-interface workflows.
Active Electronics & Power
Both pickups operate on active 9V battery power, delivering consistent output and low impedance for extended cable runs without signal loss. The 600-hour battery life ensures extended tracking sessions between replacements, while the included battery cable and solderless connectivity streamline installation and troubleshooting during studio setup.
Installation & Controls
The complete wiring harness includes dual 25K volume and tone controls, a two-pickup in/out buss, stereo input jack, and all necessary cabling and mounting hardware for straightforward integration into any compatible instrument. The F-spaced configuration is optimized for humbucker-routed guitars with wider bridge pickup spacing, while mounting screws and springs accommodate standard guitar cavities.

Frequently Asked Questions
What guitar types are these pickups compatible with?
The Daemonum set uses F-spaced configuration optimized for humbucker-routed guitars with wider bridge pickup spacing. They fit standard 6-string electric guitar cavities and include all necessary mounting screws and springs for integration.
How long does the battery last, and what's included?
The 9V battery delivers approximately 600 hours of playing time. The set includes all necessary cabling and battery connections; the 9V battery itself is not included but is standard and inexpensive to replace.
What genres and tunings are these pickups best suited for?
The Daemonum excels in metal, djent, hard rock, and drop-tuning contexts where aggressive output and articulate note separation are priorities. They are not designed for jazz, blues, or folk applications.
How does the active electronics system work, and do I need soldering?
Both pickups are powered by a 9V battery, delivering consistent output and low impedance for extended cable runs without signal loss. The solderless connectivity and included complete wiring harness with dual 25K controls streamline installation without traditional soldering.
How does the Daemonum compare to other active sets like the EMG 81/85?
The Daemonum is Jim Root's signature design with ceramic and steel construction and stud-pole configuration, engineered specifically for modern metal applications. It delivers tighter lows, more aggressive output, and greater articulation in high-gain contexts compared to the 81/85 or comparable models like the Seymour Duncan Blackouts.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
