Cool Guitar Update-EMG SPC Active EQ Circuit

The SPC or Start Presence Control is often called the fat checks. Too many players are the most popular upgrade to perform. The original intent of the SPC was to turn the tone of a single-coil pickup into a dual-coil pickup. This is accomplished by increasing the gain in a broad mid-band fashion and reducing the highs. The result is a fatter, louder tone from a single coil pickup, but you can also use it on a humbucking pickup to give you a high output really fat tone.

David Gilmour has used the same EMG System for nearly 15 years on his main red Start. With single coil pickups, wired with an EXG Guitar Expander and an SPC Presence Control

That said, it's an upgrade I use on my Stratocaster. It adds a great versatility and gives you a tone you will enjoy very much. David Gilmore is just one example of a person who has had success using the EMG setup. Tone is very personal and subjective, so it can not be too all, but it is a good bet you will enjoy what you hear.

In fact, the same for TBX Boost in the Eric Clapton Stratocaster. Which, incidentally, is my only Start without EMG-SPC EQ circuit. The Clapton Start simply put is one of the finest sounding guitars in the world. Period.

Installation is not particularly difficult. But for a modest fee, any competent guitar machine can perform all the wood cutting and rewiring for a fair price. Good idea for most people. Although I do my own work today, one with knowledge and good technical skills to do the soldering, not to heat up other components unnecessarily or remove too much material if any routing or woodwork is necessary.

Based on the fact that an EMG-SPC can be added to many types of guitars, the chart includes only one particular way to wire it. The actual set has a variety wiring suggestions.

The setup shown is how I would setup a Stratocaster. The change in tone is very small, but quite engaging. Most of the time when the tone is noticed or mentioned, it comes from a veteran guitar player who has a sharp ear for the instrument they are good the guitars. But listeners who do not play guitar and began to show almost inevitably know guitar players rich full penetrating sound. Not sure why they all know is that you sound good. Realistically, this is what matters most. One thing it will not do is make you a better player, so if you do not play so well go practice more and improve your chops. Practice techniques mentioned in another article will clarify what I think.

I expect not that any practice like Joe Satriani, myself and Richard Mac (my teacher). Pardon the interruption, but Steve Vai is another chronic practices that have something special to show for it.

Back on track. The people at Guitar Center players enjoy messing about with guitars, and the type of upgrades, they show up and make themselves cost-effective, low-risk upgrades that really work. The EMG-SPC elections are very popular and was waiting for a backorder. It was worth it, but the stocks are replenished now and easy to get. May an EMG-SPC Google search. The choices are endless. Enjoy
