EMG Pickups — The Revolution of Active Sound at Zoundhouse

Since 1976, EMG Pickups has been synonymous with innovation and uncompromising clarity in guitar and bass tone. As pioneers of active pickup technology, EMG has decisively shaped the sound of modern music. From heavy metal and crystal-clear funk to precise jazz — EMG pickups eliminate unwanted noise and deliver a signal that cuts through any mix with authority.

Iconic Models and Groundbreaking Technology

At the core of EMG is the pursuit of technical perfection. With their famous Solderless Install System, swapping pickups has become easier and faster than ever before:

• EMG 81 & 85: The ultimate duo for rock and metal. The 81 at the bridge for razor-sharp leads and the 85 at the neck for warm, punchy rhythms.
• Retro Active Series: The classic look and feel of passive pickups, combined with the noise-free performance and power of an active preamp.
• Signature Sets: Developed in collaboration with legends like James Hetfield (JH Set), Zakk Wylde, or David Gilmour (DG20) to replicate their signature tones.
• Bass Pickups: From classic P and J configurations to modern soapbars, EMG provides bassists with unparalleled dynamics and low-end precision.
