Re: EMG Announces Solderless Installation
I saw these when they first hit the site. I buy most of my parts from ACME b/c I like the tight tolerance of their pots.
I think the ToneShaper is just what the doctor ordered for a guy like myself who has lots of spare pickups around and is constantly rotating them before finding the perfect fit. Changing pickups is much faster and I like the multiple caps on board. Truth be told, I actually enjoy building the harness the old fashioned way, but the toneshaper would be much more efficient until I decide on the final pups.
They've been 90% of the way there for years with the quick connection plug on the bottom of the pickup. Plus when you are converting from passive pickups to active, you have to replace all of your pots anyway. This will save time on the install and is a good move for them. Did you guys see this yet?
