I don’t understand why everyone is missing the most important thing, the signatures looks better. We all know that’s all that matters.
agreed they just look sick. Period
silver 8160 looks better on the black jazzmaster
So what if I put the Hetfield set, would that be kind of a heresy??😂
The Rifferer Actually if you watch Jim Root’s Rig Rundown. He talks about how they set him the red sandblasted Jazzmasters with the hetfield set. In it. And they didn’t work with the kinda amps he uses. It’s all with what kind of amps you are using if the pick ups will sound good or not.
lol
the riffs and the mixing seems very on point the last couple of months. Your going to the next level my dude
Thank you so much! I’m doing my very best to keep learning and delivering quality content
1) they sound less compressed like most emg, more dynamic like a passive pick up but just have enough bottom end and output.
2) most people forget most speakers and amps and pick ups are all tuned on standard tuning, signature gear is for that individual and what they need to find that tone they have been chasing.
Jim is a tad more of a dynamic player because he had both stone sour and slipknot over the years, but of course now slipknot is his main focus. Signature gear is trial and error like anything else, until you hear the stuff in person and see if it fits your rig and your style, hard to judge it overall,
3)good demo nonetheless 🤘🤘
Well said! Thanks for stopping in!
Fantastic playing my guy! I love how you incorporated the octave playing that he does quite a bit! I don’t think you can go wrong either way!
Dude, I love how much fun you have doing these. But man, that look on your face, right befire you broke into SRV was priceless!. Btw, I think the best way to put it is that the
daemonums have a wider frequency range, instead of being tighter and focused like the 81/60.
I was waiting so long for this video !!!
Dude, good video. Man, I’m getting a Telecaster and my mind was made up on the Squire classic vibe until last night when I re-watched your video of the shootout of the Root Telecaster Fender Vs Squire. Now I want the Squire Root Tele. I might need the Classic Vibe 50’s Tele AND the Jim Root one.
I now understand Jim’s new pickups better and why he came out with these it’s definitely the Slipknot sound we love really focused and well done while the regular emgs are just more wild and a little off. Both are really great though and This video explains a lot.
Actually got close to that "strat" sound at 5:05, lol. Really shows the versatility of the daemonums.
yeah they clean up pretty decently
an obese strat, but a strat none the less
This is a fantastic comparison. Thank you for your thorough review!!!
Wow, they sound surprisingly versatile! I totally wrote them off when I heard of them but now I have to check them out.
Quality content yet again. I completely agree with you that they sound fuller and what I’ve noticed is they sound great in any tuning whereas the 81/60s (in my opinion) sounded best in predominantly drop tuning. Once I got my set put in the jazzmaster I went from standard down to drop A and they sounded phenomenal with everything from Blink to Slipknot. Only issue I had was getting use to the look of the jazzmaster without the brushed nickels. Anyways, thanks for another great video, keep up the good work dude!
Man I really fell in love with your channel. I'm so jealous you've got so many Jim Root signatures. I want the black Jazzmaster like nobody's business. I'd probably give a pinkie for it. Strumming hand of course..
EMG Daemonums vs SD Blackouts shoot-out pls
If you can find me a set of blackouts I’ll make it happen!
You do still have that Jackson Mick signature soloist right?
If you want the best actives, go with the Dave Mustaine Livewire set ;)
Do the Blackouts come in only one flavor? I don't know anything about them, do they not have different tone options like EMGs?
the natural ware on the Strat looks so good. I desperately wish they would do another run of that color
Yo I just wanna say from 5:04 to about 6:15 is the COOLEST transition I think I’ve ever heard. That absolutely blew my mind
I really can't hear much difference through my headphones, but I'm sure there is a noticeable difference in person. I could barely tell the new signature pickups sounded a hair cleaner or more defined as you may. Like just a slight difference between a little muddy and clean. Great job! Oh, BTW...damn that guitar is beat up! LOL. Wearing in nice!
Thanks don! Yeah it’s hard to convay through a video sometimes but the JR’s are just fuller and fuzzier sounding
Yea to me the new set really does give every string an equal amount of a voice, where the old set dialed back slightly on mids to give that low string slightly extra growl.
Awesome video Ray!!! Congrats!!!
Hey thanksb
Thanks bro
I feel like the daemonum sound warmer (mid+low) and a little more full where as 81/60 sound a little more treble and thin. Both sound good in a different way.
Great work. Daemonums feel more open and uncompressed. But in the mix differences are less obvious.
Just got the 81/60s I prefer the 60 to the 85, your vid helped me decide
Have only ever tried them at A/B tunings which sound great. But would these pickups be suitable to standard or drop D tunings?
Hi SMR!!! I really enjoy your videos!!! You do such a great job, your tone is amazing!!! I have one question, I just got this set for a Floyd Rose equipped guitar, will they sound good in standard tuning?? I haven’t decided which tuning to go with on this guitar yet, so I’m going to leave it in standard for a while…
Hey Ray! I wanted to ask your thought and opinion on something regarding these Daemonum pickups...
*Have you tried these in another tuning besides the drop B/Drop A that Jim uses on your JR Strat???
*If so, do you also find that they sound a bit different tonally due to the difference in tuning (frequency wise to be different in how they respond??)
I bought the first set and have them in an Epiphone G-1275 double neck (6-string neck...) with BOTH necks tuned down to B std. I bought another set and put them in a '20 ESP LTD SC-20 Sonic Blue tuned to C# std. I am finding that they almost sound like 2 different pickups, despite the difference of the guitars themselves, and I think it's in the difference in tuning...
Would love to know what you think...
The signature pickups sound more alive, don’t know how to describe it. The 81/60 sound good, just a little more processed. Great demo my dude.
Thanks brother! Yeah they’re just bigger and less “fake” sounding
A little more processed? The 81/60 are likely the most processed and lifeless sounding pickups you can get.
It's due to the external preamp
@@joshbarnes6759 Well, that's just your opinion. Many thinks EMG 81 is still the best, especially for metal music.
With your clean tone it sounded pretty identical to the clean intro to Hickory Creek by Whitechapel. Keep on rocking brother
I saw someone say they sound “Thick”. Great description in my opinion. Like the perfect Gal - Thick is a wonderful thing.
I still remember the Fluff-Jim-You love triangle... yes that was me
Based on this I would be very happy to run Jim's new sig EMG's in my Strat. I hope a preloaded pickguard will pop up. Thanks Ray.
I'm thinking of buying a set of daemonum's to replace a 60/81 set. Because I want to use that guitar (LP) for a wider range of musical styles than just metal. The only question I have about the daemonum's is how they behave in standard tuning? Would you recommend these for standard tuning or should I look into other EMG pickups?
Nice video and editing, do you think it would be worth if I put EMGs in my 2019 Epiphone Standard Pro?
good work mate
I have seen many people just received the pickup
but no one wanna make a video about it
I'm curious on how clean channel sounds like tho
I could listen to you just riffing out for hours
Wish I could come up with sick riff, after sick riff. Well done Sir!
Ahhh thanks so much!
Anyone know if the pups in the Jim Root are soldered ? I’m looking at the Hetset or 57/66 but I’m not sure when the solderless thing started.
I just got a set of these thanks to your video... holy crap they're awesome! Im a die hard 81 user (just like Jim I guess) and nothing has that metallic bite and clank the 81 does on chugs, and I know some people hate it but I love it. The Daemonum bridge pickup keep that 81 instantaneous aggressive feel in tact... but they take a little bit of the clank out and add a little girth to the tone without smoothing it out so much like an 85 does. I'm not saying this thing replaces my 81's, but I am saying it sounds fantastic.
Do you like the neck daemonum? I'm thinking about mixing the neck one with an EMG 81 (or maybe a 57) in the bridge
@@emiliolopez8796 I think the Daemonum neck is probably my favorite of all my EMG's in the neck position. I prefer the 81 bridge to the JR bridge if I only had one guitar, but I have 2 guitars with 81s already, and the JR set is a great complement to them.
Can we get more appreciation for that amazing Voodoo Child jam? 🥺
ahh thanks so much!
Hey man which emg fit did u use for the strat. I read they have 2 different sizes or something like that. I want to buy it for my strat.
Could you make the intro a little bit quieter? It's always much louder than the rest of the video. Thanks
Hey Ray! What string pack do you use for Drop-B?
The pinch harmonics that you let ring out sound sick
i don't know if its a good question to ask or not........ but what is a good string gauze to play slipknot riffs ??
i am just new to learning these kind of stuffs
forgive me if it is a idiotic question
Just got a set of these to put in my harley benton '84 extreme
Does anyone know anything about the jim root set vs the het set? I ordered the het set but I'm thinking of cancelling and getting the jim root one instead but I'm not sure, I love both guitar sounds from metallica and slipknot but honestly I don't know what one to choose
Amazing playing bro. Have you played the super 77? Trying to debate roots set vs those. They sound plenty hot in this video.
metal jimmy. awesome ray.
Ayeee thanks so much
do you still have the damien 8 string? have you upgraded to a new one or gotten rid of it?
I bought this set, sounds killer, but only one major but, when i touch pickup pole piece, it has filthy grounding noise and my wiring, all the arrows, everything is connected correctly, I even swapped pups from my other guitar which has emgs(retro active vintage 70 i believe) and still noise when touched, just wondering if anyone who owns JR set, has this issue?
Thank you for doing your demos correctly
I don't know if it's already been asked but what is going on with that pinch harmonic at 2.01 😅 I've gotta know lol
Funny thing about pickup reviews is that one person can make any pickup sound amazing & when you get them they sound like absolute shit thru your rig! Trial & error thru your personal rig is the only way to find the pickup thats for you!
I had the daemonums, did not like them. Took them out and stuck Emg 81 back in. To me in person I thought they sounded thin and not as full as Emg 81. Played through a evh el 34, maybe it would sound better through something with 6l6 tubes
Hey man yeah actually the first amp I played through was my evh el34 and I HATED the sound. These pickups vibe with my dual rectifier and my rockerverb very well
@@xanderraymondcharles so you'd think it would sound good with a Mesa boogie mark v:35 ?
i love how cold the 81 is
Cool vid! Thanks a lot!!!
Did you see the mini documentary they did on slipknot? I think it came out yesterday.
Nice comparison man, well done!
I much prefer his signature pickups. Far more lively, fuller and articulate.
The new JR pickups sound more 'passive' and have richer low mids. For me I'd go with either, but finally, EMGs I would not hate to put in traditional designs.
Can the new pickups just be plugged into existing 81/60 wiring or are things different with the retro active type?
Yup yup just plug in and play!
Sound to me like the Daemonums have a little less low end mids which is allowing the low end to be heard clearer and so sounding fuller. High end sounds the same, overall just a tigher version of the 81...
Hope your safe Ray!
Channel has been sick man!
Thanks so much!!!
I hope you’re safe as well
6:17 It’s official: Ray has gone mad in lockdown
I was possessed by Hendrix for a second
Well now I know what to get for my birthday ☺️
Do you think the new Jazzmaster is worth $1399? I was planning on getting one but can't justify spending that much when I could easily get the USA Jazzmaster used for less than that.
The signature set has more of an organic feel, similar to passives...also they sound less compressed and "squashed" but the difference extremely minimal in the intro song and only becomes more obvious when you played guitar by itself
Also does anyone know how these go in standard or d tunings?
Not getting rid of my 81/60’s. They sound killer in my ESP and LP Custom. But I do want a set of the Daemonums for another guitar. Think they’d be a bit too thick in a 10lb Les Paul. That thing already hits hard with the 81/60. But The Roots may sit well in some of my lighter guitars. Did not like the Hettfield pups at all. They sounded muddy in all my guitars. First set of EMGs I didn’t like. 81/60 and 81/89R along with 57/66 are amongst my favorite EMGs.
@staymetalray-Did you notice that Jim has alnico adjustable poles in his pickups when his signature set dosnt and has flat ceramic poles?
Have you tried Jaymz's, or Kirks pickups? I'd love to see a shootout between them the JR ones.
Sure if you can find me a set send them on over!
@@xanderraymondcharles I may have a JH set I can send your way!
I wonder what these would sound like with the 24v mod?
It sound like the 81/60 are just a hair more compressed and the sig set or a hair more open sounding. That's the best way I can describe the difference
Yeah hair or grit is how I would describe it
That first song sounds exactly like something i would write, i guess thats what years of the knot do to you 😅
Hi, ik this is unrelated but what string gauges do you use for drop B and for drop A?
Please go watch my last live stream I go into detail about my setup and string gauges
Just got my new v4 jazzmaster...theirs no going back to 81s haha. They're hot pickups with clarity! Just ordered a few more pairs for my other guitars.
To me, it sounds like notes are not bleeding into each other..if that makes sense. Very fun
that hendrix riff sounded killer all metal'd out lol
Thanks boss!
Is it possible to coil split emg 81?
It S the Jim root signature stratocaster model or it S a stratocaster customized with different pick ups?
Ray did you relic your yellow strat? If so how ? I wanna relic mine great video thanks ray!
I didn’t. Just played a lot
The Jim Roots sound so crisp, the EMGs are a little muddier, but boy that amp sounds nice
Gabe Hirsh they are both EMG’s
which strings gauge are you using ??
The new ones sound more alive, organic, she's coming alive, it's coming alive, hard to say what caught my attention, but sure it's sounds cools
Hey man, why don't you demo them in standard tuning, cause when it's low tuned everything tends to sound the same and it would be really cool to see someone who doesn't tune to drop q to play these pickups haha
Agree partially, but to be fair these pickups were designed around drop tuning. So to really make them shine I understand testing them low.
What’s the string gauge and tuning?
Can hear a slight difference, this seems to definitely be a "feel" thing where you need to play them. One pet peeve I have w/ EMG is they don't make all their stuff available for 7/8 string also.
The Het set at least should have had a 7 string available a LONG time ago. Quick edit, if you want your 81/60/85 to sound better, throw a 24 volt mod battery pack in it or do the 2 9 volts.
The 81 seems to almost hit a brick wall with palm muted chords. The Daemonums definitely are more responsive and have way better note separation.
I have a perfect rhythm/lead combo with the Daemonums in my Epi LP Standard and the EMG 81s in my Fender Strat. But if I had to choose one set, it would be the Daemonums all day. Riffing is so addictive with those.
Os dois captadores são bons. Parabéns pelo vídeo. eu tenho os 81/60 e amo eles.
just put them in my black Jim Root Strat - love them and agree w. you
Hey there, Did u just unplug the 81/60 and plug in the daemonum on the Jim root strat since it already has the EMG wiring or do u have to rewire?
How the fuck do you get those guitars ???? Wrong neck on the white strat ? Just curious
Can't notice a big difference through my headphones but the palm mutting really sound different
Would love to test this pickups but they are so expensive ;_;
Yo!!
Did you Put that NECK on That Body!? Or you bought it PUT Together Like That!?? That EBony NECK, BODY & headstock Combo with The Cream & Black P-UPs Looks DOPE AF 💯
I DIGG The Fender Guitar's When There Metal`d Out Monsters!!
Bcuz ITS NOT supposed to Be 😂 😆
But Now IS! LUV It...
It's DOPE Bro & Sounds Good With Both Sets
Montco checkin in 🤘🏻
Your face of happiness it say everything ;)
I can’t help it hahaha
What is your tuning?
I like the 81/60 better .. the d's are seem brighter.. I like the darker look too. Good vid but what I really want to know is what one song it was .... 😉
hi! great channel ! are you still in touch with jim ? really like the interview and jim look like really nice guy ! really hope for more video :)
I closed my eyes/ listened and heard the the signatures sound a lot more crispy and brighter. It cut through. The 81/60 sounded darker and more filtered/bogged down.
Dude can you please do a full cover of Voodoo Chile in Slipknot style? It sounded soooo gooood
The daemonums sound a bit more dynamic to my ear while the 81/60 sounds a bit heavier. There are pros and cons to both tho
Such a heavy mix tho 😝🤘🏻
Thanks boss!
tone surprisingly reminds me of Damageplan (dimebucker)
