If you can do it, send some diagrams my was and I'll ask EMG why their guy can't.

I know exactly how EMG stuff works - I've designed stuff like this for other companies. The only "trick" is to do some disassembly of the SPC control in order to create a true "no load" on/off switch for it.
I can draw this up and post it, just not right this red hot minute.
The best you can do for a "dark" circuit is simply to hang a big cap across the pickup - which is easy, since your 3-way switch doesn't have to select pickups. So...
1. 1/2 of the 3 way switch selects tone control and dark options
2. 1/2 of the 3 way switch defeats or engages the SPC
The latter item requires that you snip one of the pot leads from the SPC and do a little redirection
But it is easy and I have done it many times.
