  • Jim Root of Slipknot has his own signature pickup set, the EMG Daemonum set, and they're not your regular EMGs.
    In this video, I review and demo this unique set of pickups from EMG and talk a little about how Jim Root ended up with this set. We'll go through the sound, installation and look of these pickups and who I think they're really for.
    Thanks for checking out the video my dudes, I appreciate you! 🤘

    I just put these on my Hagstrom Fantomen a couple of days ago. I tuned down to Drop B and instantly had the Slipknot sound.

      Mate, I have not! Currently, I’m running a full digital setup. My little office barely has enough space for me to stand in so I couldn’t fit any amps in here 😂 Maybe one day I’ll have a bit more room for a nice rig and I’ll definitely be checking out those speakers!

      @@Ryan-kc5pl if it's worth anything to you, I've always heard the het set was tuned for standard tunings and isn't as tight for lower tunings. Haven't used it to verify that though.
