Pot values

[Top-L]

Can you recommend me a couple? I ordered the neck sh6 today.

When I started out, I played EMGs for metal.

Then I "graduated" to passives.

A few days ago I got a new guitar with EMG 57/66.

If you are used to actives, passives could well sound muddy. Passive pickups tend to have something more "complex" going on in the mids, that could be perceived as mud. I hear this when switching between active and passive guitars.

You're going to have to dial in your rig differently. I would focus on wiring the passive correctly with 500K volume and 500K tone. If you absolutely can't get a sound you like, then you could try disconnecting the tone, or using 1M+1M. It will be brighter, but still wont sound "active".

I think to get the active sound you will have to play around with EQ and give your ears time to adjust. Passives have a "complexity" or thickness in the mids I don't hear from EMGs. I am trying to dial in the EMGs to add some of that mid thickness I'm used to.

I haven't actually tried that one, but it seems that everyone who has has said that it is clear as a bell.
