I used the EMG T Set for a gig for the first time this weekend. I like them although I find that I don't like the neck pickup alone. I like the middle and bridge but I wish I had one more setting to get that fat sound like when you connect passive bridge and neck pickups in series. The SPC control sounds like an interesting option to me. Can someone explain how this boost circuit is wired in elctrically? (not mechanically?) I want to understand where it is in the signal chain. And it makes you lose your normal Tone control? Other things I've found with the EMG...Tone control takes more travel on the knob to get a decent treble cut....and these pickups have plenty of treble that needs taming for my needs. One last thing....since these pickups are active and a low noise, low impedance out....they essentially 'look' like a pedal output in that regard. That being the case....the first pedal in a pedal chain like a compressor...cranks uo it's own gain at low or no volume and you hear alot of backround hiss though your amp even when you roll off you guitars volume knob completely (when taking a break between songs).
