Hi wiring experts:

I'm considering adding an EMG SPC and putting it where the tone pot is currently and replacing the volume pot with a concentric volume/tone pot. Is it capable to wire this system in a way that's compatible with the Switcheroo and Vintage Voicing?

Thanks.

in a switcheroo, the vintage voicing happens on the pc board so it will not interfere. most of the emg stuff is low impedance(using 25k pots), so i'm not sure whether that particular piece will work or not.

Cool, sounds like I just transfer the wires from the tone pot to the concentric vol/tone pot and life is good. The EMG SPC is a mid-booster that's suppose to work with passive pickups, though I don't know what value pot it's suppose to work with. It would be strange to say it works with passive pickups but only if you use one of those 25k pots, but I should check. Thanks for the heads up on that.

Follow up question: I assume that I should go for a 500k concentric pot and that the Vintage Voicing circuit will take care of the rest?

Thanks again!

yes, 500k pots.

Cool man, you're the best.
