Yes I belive that teh pickups are super clean. I'm an electronic engineer by trade so my 'wheels are turning' as to what causes the noise...compared to passive pickups plugged into the comp. One thought I have is that the Comps gain is naturally increased for small signals.... and if the EMGs are putting out SUCH as small signal when nothing is played...ie NO NOISE at all ....then the comp will max out it's internal gain and hence you hear it hiss... Theres a couple of experiemnts I can run...
