EMG Revelation Passive Humbucker Pickup Set in Brushed Black Chrome
The EMG Revelation passive humbuckers deliver classic warmth and articulation without active circuitry, making them an excellent choice for recording scenarios demanding vintage character with modern construction reliability. Covered in brushed black chrome, this neck-and-bridge set pairs traditional Alnico II magnets with EMG's solderless wiring system for hassle-free installation and consistent session performance.
Tone & Recording Character
These passives leverage Alnico II magnets and moderate DC resistance specs—13.5K bridge and 13.8K neck—to produce balanced output across the frequency range. The result is organic sustain, smooth treble roll-off, and responsive dynamics that capture nuanced pick attack and articulation on tape, cutting through dense mixes without aggressive high-end coloration.
Installation & Studio Workflow
The solderless connectivity and included potentiometers, jacks, and patch cables eliminate traditional soldering during setup. The complete hardware package—mounting screws, springs, and all necessary conductors—makes this set a turnkey solution for fast instrument swaps between sessions and quick tonal experiments in the studio.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between these passive pickups and typical active EMG pickups?
The Revelation line uses Alnico II magnets and passive wiring with no batteries or active circuitry, delivering warmer, more organic sustain and responsive dynamics compared to EMG's active models. They're designed for players who prefer a traditional passive tone while keeping EMG's build quality and solderless installation convenience.
Is this a complete pickup kit, or do I need to buy additional parts?
This is a complete HH set including neck and bridge pickups, two 500K volume pots, two 500K tone pots, stereo output jack, mounting screws, springs, and all necessary cables. Everything you need for a full pickup and electronics swap is included.
Will these pickups work well for metal or djent styles?
These pickups are voiced for blues, rock, jazz, and studio sessions—they prioritize warmth, articulation, and smooth treble response rather than the high-gain aggression metal and djent typically require. They're best suited to players seeking vintage character and dynamic response.
How does the solderless wiring system work?
The pickups use solderless 4-wire plus shield connectivity with push-fit connectors, eliminating the need for a soldering iron during installation. The included potentiometers, jacks, and cables simply connect via these pre-engineered points.
What bridge and neck output levels should I expect?
The bridge sits at 13.5K DC resistance and the neck at 13.8K, delivering balanced output across both positions with no significant volume drop from neck to bridge—ideal for consistent tone during recording or live play.
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.
