The EMG Retro Active Fat 55 humbucker was inspired by the ingenuity,
tone, and feel of the original PAF, evoking the best tones of the 50’s
and 60’s. No longer limited by the technology of that era, this classic
looking humbucker set adds a newly designed external preamp that
provides the benefit of a low-impedance output; virtually no hum or
added noise. The Alnico magnets in traditional open coil bobbins
deliver fat, warm lows without losing any clarity on the high end. The
Fat 55 is capable of sitting back in a blues riff or rising up to the
overdriven solo with ease. Staying true to conventional design can bring
buzz and hum, which is where the new plug-on preamp comes in. The
preamp cleans up all of the output noise but retains the passive
character of your tone. This is a passive pickup with all the benefits
of active technology, yielding a new level of tonal control. The
completely solderless Retro Active Fat 55 humbucker is available in
black and zebra color options, giving you the look you love and the tone
you need.
