Description
EMG SAVX Active Single Coil Pickup in Black
The EMG SAVX is an active single-coil pickup engineered to capture articulate, controlled single-coil character with the noise immunity and headroom of EMG's active circuitry. This pickup delivers tight, defined response with minimal hum—ideal for recording sessions where traditional single-coil definition is essential without the typical passive single-coil drawbacks in electrically noisy studio environments or high-gain tracking scenarios.
Recording & Mix Character
The SAVX produces a focused, punchy single-coil voice with excellent note separation and clarity across the frequency spectrum. Active amplification ensures consistent output and low noise floor, making it reliable for studio recording, mixing workflows, and session work where signal integrity and predictable tone stacking matter.
Installation & System Integration
This unit ships with two connect cables for routing to the onboard preamp, one active tone control pot (VLPF—Variable Low-Pass Filter), and a complete set of mounting hardware including screws and springs for secure installation in standard single-coil routes.
Key Features
- Active single-coil design with integrated preamp circuit
- Two connect cables included for easy wiring integration
- Variable Low-Pass Filter (VLPF) active tone control pot
- Mounting screws and springs included
- Black finish
- Hum-canceling active circuit topology
- Articulate, defined single-coil tonal character
- Low output impedance for clean signal transmission
- Standard single-coil route compatibility
The SAVX bridges the gap between classic single-coil response and modern active noise rejection, making it an adaptable choice for recording sessions demanding clarity, consistency, and sonic reliability across multiple takes and mix contexts.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in the box?
The SAVX ships with two connect cables for routing to your onboard preamp, one active tone control pot (Variable Low-Pass Filter), mounting screws, springs, and all hardware needed for installation in a standard single-coil route.
Will this work in my guitar with a single-coil route?
Yes, the SAVX is designed for standard single-coil routes and includes all necessary mounting hardware. You will need an onboard preamp or power source to operate the active circuit.
How does the SAVX compare to passive single-coils?
The SAVX delivers single-coil articulation and note separation with active noise cancellation and a tighter low-end response. Its active amplification provides consistent output and cleaner signal transmission, making it more suitable for high-gain and electrically noisy environments than traditional passive single-coils.
Is this pickup good for high-gain and studio recording?
Yes, the SAVX is engineered specifically for studio sessions, home recording, and high-gain live performance. Its low noise floor, excellent note separation, and active headroom make it reliable for both recording and performing in demanding settings.
What does the Variable Low-Pass Filter (VLPF) do?
The included VLPF active tone control pot lets you shape the high-frequency content of your tone in real time, giving you additional control over brightness and presence for recording or live use.
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.
