An easy variable fuzz/distortion.
I like both active and passive humbucking pickups for different reasons. Quality passives have a creamy, “I-Can’t-Believe-It’s-Not-Butter” character that actives usually do not have, but actives have clarity and punch that passives usually do not have. Then there’s the EMG JH James Hetfield Set. It doesn’t sound as compressed and hi-fi as many other actives while retaining the punch and clarity. I love using them and recommend them to anyone for almost any humbucking sound.
