EMG Jim Root Daemonum Active Humbucker Pickup Set in Zebra
The EMG Jim Root Daemonum set captures aggressive, articulate high-gain tone with surgical clarity and controlled sustain in the studio. Designed in collaboration with Slipknot's Jim Root, these active humbuckers feature custom Retro Active preamps exclusive to the Root signature line, engineered for modern metal and extreme styles where note definition cuts through dense mixes as much as raw power drives the recording. The zebra finish adds visual distinction while the solderless installation system integrates into your session rig without solder work or complex wiring.
Recording Tone & Electronics
Built on a 3K DC resistance platform, the Daemonum set pairs ceramic studs in the neck position with black steel poles and ceramic magnet in the bridge, creating focused output with aggressive attack and tight low-end response that sits well in dense guitar layers. The custom Retro Active preamps are exclusive to this Jim Root signature set and optimize signal clarity and sustain for high-gain tracking and mix work.
Studio Integration & Setup
The solderless install system includes everything needed for drop-in compatibility: two 25K volume controls, two 25K tone controls, battery buss, stereo output jack, mounting hardware, and all necessary cables. Both pickups maintain standard humbucker string spacing with a short shaft length and 48.3 mm (1.9") width, engineered for straightforward integration into most guitar configurations used in production.
