Standard build is passive with great tone options. VBT is standard w/push-push vol (series/parallel) & push-push tone (treble cut/mid scoop). Toggle can be substituted or added for p’up configurations or tone settings. The tone circuit is my own design utilizing some tried and true old school methods. The circuit is tailored to the individual p’ups. The treble cut is light – just enough to tame the brightness of new strings. Functionally it tends to behave more like a mid-boost by shifting the resonant frequency of the p’ups down. In the up position, the tone control engages a mid-cut feature. As an added bonus, the mid-cut adds mild tube-like saturation when dimed. Blend control is a custom taper pot to facilitate smooth, even blending that’s not all within 10 degrees of center like most others. All wiring and cavities are redundantly shielded for the quietest operation. I use solid core wire almost exclusively for the best possible signal transfer.
 
Nordstrand 2B or 3B preamp available as an upgrade. (click the link for specs). Preamp is wired in parallel to compliment the passive tone circuit. Active circuit can be neutralized by setting active tone controls to center. Control layout is fully customizable. 3 band EQ with adjustable mid frequencies is available for a small upcharge. 

Hardshell case included!
