EMG is a prominent American company known for its high-performance active guitar and bass pickups. Founded in 1976 by Rob Turner, EMG revolutionized the pickup market with its innovative use of active electronics, which provide greater output and clarity while minimizing noise and interference.

The company is particularly renowned for its signature models, such as the EMG 81 and 85, which are popular in the metal and rock genres for their powerful and precise tones.

EMG pickups are characterized by their quiet operation, high gain, and reliability, and they are used by many professional musicians across various genres. The company also offers a range of preamps, accessories, and other electronic components designed to enhance and customize instrument performance.

Active

Active pickups are a type of guitar pickup that incorporates an onboard preamp powered by a battery, usually a 9-volt, to boost the guitar’s signal before it reaches an amplifier.

This preamp enhances the pickup’s output, resulting in a stronger and more consistent signal compared to passive pickups.

The increased signal strength allows active pickups to drive amplifiers and effects pedals more efficiently, making them particularly popular in high-gain music genres like metal and hard rock.

Additionally, the preamp in active pickups ensures that the tone remains consistent across various volume levels, preventing the loss of high frequencies that can occur when rolling back the volume knob on passive pickups.

Active pickups are also known for their reduced noise levels, offering a cleaner signal with minimal hum or interference.

This makes them ideal for studio recording and live performances where clarity is essential. The preamp can also extend the frequency response, providing a wider range of tones with enhanced lows and highs, contributing to a more modern and articulate sound.

However, active pickups require a battery to function, which necessitates periodic replacement. Despite this, they are favoured by many guitarists for their ability to produce powerful, clear tones.

Brands like EMG and Fishman are renowned for manufacturing high-quality active pickups that are widely used by professional musicians.

While active pickups offer many tonal advantages, some players prefer the traditional, warm sound of passive pickups for styles like blues and jazz.

Guitar Effect Pedal

A guitar pedal, also known as an effects pedal, is a device used by guitarists to alter the sound of their instrument in various ways. These pedals are typically small, foot-operated units that are connected in a signal chain between the guitar and the amplifier. They can modify the guitar’s tone, pitch, and dynamics by applying different effects such as distortion, reverb, delay, chorus, and more. Guitar pedals come in both analog and digital formats, and they allow musicians to create a wide range of sounds, enhancing their musical expression and creativity. They are essential tools for guitarists in genres ranging from rock and blues to jazz and electronic music.

Guitar Pickup

A guitar pickup is a device installed on an electric or acoustic guitar that captures the vibrations of the strings and converts them into an electrical signal. This signal can then be amplified and processed to produce sound through an amplifier. Pickups are essential for electric guitars, as they do not produce much sound acoustically and rely on pickups to be heard at performance levels.

There are several types of guitar pickups, each with unique characteristics:

  1. Single-Coil Pickups: These pickups consist of a single coil of wire wrapped around magnets. They are known for their bright, crisp sound and are commonly used in styles like rock, blues, and country. However, they can be prone to picking up electromagnetic interference, which can lead to a hum.
  2. Humbucker Pickups: Humbuckers use two coils of wire to cancel out the hum and electromagnetic interference often picked up by single-coil pickups. This design results in a thicker, warmer sound with higher output, making them popular in genres like rock, metal, and jazz.
  3. P90 Pickups: A variation of the single-coil pickup, P90s offer a fuller sound with more midrange punch. They are versatile and can be used in a variety of music styles, bridging the gap between the bright tone of single coils and the warmth of humbuckers.
  4. Acoustic Pickups: For acoustic guitars, pickups can be either piezoelectric or microphone-based. Piezo pickups are placed under the saddle and capture the vibration of the strings and the body, while microphone pickups capture the sound acoustically, often blending with piezo signals for a more natural sound.

A pickup plays a significant role in shaping the tone and character of a guitar, allowing musicians to select pickups that best suit their playing style and genre preferences.

 

Humbucker

A humbucker pickup is a type of electric guitar pickup designed to reduce the unwanted noise and electromagnetic interference often associated with single-coil pickups. It achieves this by using two coils wound in opposite directions and connected in series. This configuration creates a noise-canceling effect, known as common-mode rejection, which effectively “bucks” the hum. Humbuckers are known for their warm, thick tone and higher output, making them popular in genres like rock, metal, and jazz. The design not only provides a cleaner sound by minimizing hum but also enhances sustain and delivers a fuller, more powerful sound compared to single-coil pickups.
