You could come up with some interesting switch selections, but your tech didn't know how. Personally, I'd do it:

1. Bridge with no SPC - brightest setting
2. Bridge with SPC - midrange boost kicks in
3. Bridge with dark circuit (yes, this can be done with EMGs)

I'd skip the passive tone control, they just are not useful in EMG setups due the lack of a resonant peak in the pickup response. Just use the SPC for darker tones.
