Description
EMG Super 77-7 Retro Active Humbucker Pickup Set in Black
The EMG Super 77-7 delivers articulate, responsive active tone with the retro aesthetic of open-coil design. This set pairs a neck-positioned RA-350C with a bridge-positioned RA-370C, engineered to balance clarity and punch across a seven-string platform. The solderless plug-and-play connectivity and included potentiometers streamline installation into existing instruments, minimizing studio downtime during tracking or re-amping sessions.
Recording & Mix-Ready Tone
The neck pickup operates at a 3.12 kHz resonant frequency with 4.25V single-string output and 8.0V maximum strum output, while the bridge pickup sits lower at 2.33 kHz with 4.0V and 8.0V respective outputs. Both pickups employ ceramic magnets and maintain 3.1 kΩ output impedance, with noise floors of -98 dB (neck) and -96 dB (bridge) for clean signal integrity during high-gain tracking and overdubs. The frequency balance between positions supports clear layering in dense arrangements and aggressive mix scenarios.
Active Circuit & Battery Performance
The active circuit draws 350 µA at 9V, yielding approximately 715 hours of battery life per charge cycle—extended headroom ideal for long studio sessions without mid-session power drops. Maximum supply voltage reaches 27V DC, permitting either single 9V or stacked multi-battery configurations for added sustain and dynamic range when tracking demanding material.

At a Glance
The EMG Super 77-7 brings studio-grade active isolation and articulate midrange definition to seven-string recording, with tight low-end control and -96 to -98 dB noise floors that stay clean even under aggressive gain staging. The neck and bridge pickups deliver balanced output and frequency separation, making them versatile across heavy and progressive genres while keeping individual notes distinct in dense mixes. Includes all potentiometers and a plug-and-play harness for quick integration into your setup, with the option to run up to 27V DC for added sustain and headroom during production.
Who This Is For
| Best suited for | Metal, Djent, Progressive, Extended Range |
|---|---|
| Tonal character | Articulate, high output, tight low end, low noise floor, responsive |
| Less specialized for | Blues, Jazz (it will do it; instruments voiced for that style do it more easily) |
| Skill level | Intermediate / Advanced / Professional |
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the neck and bridge pickups in this set?
The neck pickup (RA-350C) operates at 3.12 kHz with 4.25V single-string output, delivering brighter articulation, while the bridge pickup (RA-370C) sits at 2.33 kHz with 4.0V output for tighter lows and focused punch. Both maintain the same 3.1 kΩ impedance and low noise floor, ensuring balanced responsiveness across the full seven-string range.
How long does the battery last, and can I run higher voltage?
A single 9V battery provides approximately 715 hours of playing time. The active circuit supports up to 27V DC maximum, so you can run stacked batteries for extended headroom and sustain if desired—the circuit will adapt automatically.
Is this set suitable for blues or jazz playing?
No. The Super 77-7 is voiced for metal, djent, progressive, and extended-range styles. Its high output, tight low end, and active noise floor are optimized for high-gain clarity; it is not designed for blues or jazz applications.
What is included in the set, and do I need any additional wiring?
The set includes both pickups, two 25K volume potentiometers, two 25K tone potentiometers, a battery bus, and a stereo output jack with solderless plug-and-play connectivity. No soldering is required for installation.
What noise floor does this pickup set maintain?
The neck pickup achieves -98 dB at 60 Hz and the bridge pickup -96 dB, providing ultra-low noise for clean signal integrity even at extreme gain levels.
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 $16 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.
