Our Standard Electronics employ the passive Multi-Voice Tone Circuit with our custom-designed Dual Soapbar humbucking pickup set to achieve a more diverse range of tones than you can achieve with conventional tone controls. The Multi-Voice Tone Circuit is an advanced tone control with 2 mini-toggles that operate somewhat like a parametric EQ. The 3 position Filter type switch selects either a notch filter (cuts mid-range), bypass (center off - turns off tone circuit) or a low pass filter (rolls off high frequencies with a slight boost of mid frequencies). The Filter Frequency switch slects whether the Filter type effects higher or lower frequencies. The Filter Depth knob (like a conventional tone control) controls how much effect the voicing circuit will have. The 3rd mini-toggle is a Single Coil Tap for both pickups. The other conrols are master volume and pickup blend. |

This is the simpleist of our active electronic options. The 3-band active eq. is very effective allowing you to shape the sound with individual controls for bass, mid and treble. A 9 volt battery is required for powering the active electronics. A blend control lets you move between pickups and the bypass switch changes the electronics from active to passive. |
