EMG 40TWX Single Coil & Humbucker Pickup, Black Overview
Overview By EMG
Inside the EMG 40TWX are two independent pickups: a single coil and a humbucker, with the X Series preamp for increased dynamic response and clarity. The single-coil mode is our JCSX pickup built with ceramic and steel magnets for a rich, warm tone. The humbucker mode is our popular CSX (ceramic steel) dual-coil for a big, aggressive sound with a pronounced mid-range.
The X series preamp gives the pickup a more dynamic range along with increased headroom while keeping the more traditional string-to-string balance. X series pickups also come with an Active Tone Control (VLPF) designed to roll-off (attenuate) high frequencies, similar to a typical passive tone control. The result is a noiseless single coil guitar pickup with a classic EMG sound that bridges the gap between active and passive.
