Title: Query about EMG SPC or EMG
Post by: triantobebrian on October 27, 2012, 10:55:08 AM

Hi all.

Latest in a series of questions I have.  I come to the bare knuckle family because its the BKP tone that I need to 'preserve'

Anyone know about the EMG and EXG?

I simply want to know if they are going to rob tone from my BKP's.

Thanks

I have used SPC and EXG on strats fitted with BKPs with no ill effects.

I only wish that the pot worked backwards on these so full up is normal tone and you have to roll it back to make an effect change - since I am so used to making sure everything is on 10 for normal playing.

I am keen to try the RPC at some point to give a more cutting edge to a fat humbucker for soloing tones.

Not sure if they do anything to the output impedance of the guitar though - although that will mean you get less treble loss down a long cable.
I know that the Afterburner and PA2 (both of which I have used with BKPs) apparently do that.

Like what Feline said, shouldn't be a problem.

Thanks guys.

Sorry.  I haven't checked in for a while and hadn't noticed the replies.
