Description
Built for players who want more than just “high output,” the F-ALX is Alexi Laiho’s answer to a pickup that can go from articulate and clear to snarling and saturated without changing guitars. At its core is EMG’s HZ passive design, but the real story is the custom ABQ EQ/Boost circuit riding shotgun. A simple push/pull switch arms or bypasses the active EQ, and once engaged, you get a 3-band tone-shaping network plus an adjustable preamp boost to dial in exactly how much gain and push you want on tap.
That flexibility is the point. Alexi wanted a set that could handle brutal rhythm tracking one minute and cut through for lead work the next, all while keeping EMG’s trademark low-noise reliability under the hood. This F-ALX version is configured for Floyd Rose-equipped guitars (a standard Tuneamatic ALX version also exists for hardtail/TOM setups), so make sure you’re matching it to the correct bridge style before ordering.
Package Includes:
- ALX humbucker with ABQ EQ/Boost circuit
- EMG’s exclusive 5-wire Quik-Connect wiring
If you’re chasing a signature high-gain metal tone with real onboard shaping options rather than a one-trick pickup, the F-ALX set gives you the control to get there.
