General INFORMATION:
The RetroActive HOT 70 Set is a matched set of Active Humbucking Pickups using traditionally designed coils and a new “plug-on preamp”.
The pickups have similar tone qualities of a passive pickup, but with the benefits of active design. The tone is clear and powerful because the
coils are treated separately by the preamp rather than in series typical of a passive pickup. Each Preamp is voiced for several different coil
and magnet combinations. These pickups are truly unique because they have the presence of a typical humbucking pickup, but gone is the usual
mid-range bump that makes the pickup muddy sounding. Now you can have the clarity that a humbucking pickup was designed to have in the
beginning. The output of the pre-amp is low-impedance so the benefits are plentiful, there is virtually no hum, buzz or added noise to get in the
way. Richness, clarity and just plain beautiful tone. All plug-on-preamps use a discrete component FET op-amp with lots of headroom and are
extremely low-noise.
Since the pickups are active, a 9 Volt battery is required and 25KA Ohm Controls are used for volume and tone, typical of EMG Active Pickups.
