EMG ABC Balance Control

7

Potentiometer

  • The ABC is an active EQ accessory that eliminates insertion loss and is designed to work with all our non-X series pickups that use a standard passive tone pot
  • Insertion loss is characterized by a drop in signal strength the nearer you move the balance knob to the middle position
  • The Active Balance Control (ABC) eliminates this phenomenon and gives a player more reliable and direct control
  • Knurled shaft (standard length)
  • Solderless connection
  • Including output socket and battery clip set

I think they ask too much for what their controls offer.
They're solid products, but you're paying a premium for developmental costs and profit greed.
What I like is that you can slap any combination of passive and active pickups on this, it acts as a buffer. After the ABC, you use pot values for active circuitry.
I don't mind tinkering, so I wanted to see if I can mod this for a long shaft on a 2 humbucker guitar.
It is really hard to desolder all points of the PCB at once, and it was not possible to find a double stacked mini pot with a long shaft that would work with this.
The premise of this device is nice and I wanted to use it for more tonal control on that 2 humbucker guitar. But I have not been able to use it as such.
If they would make these with long shafts too, it would be perfect.

Not really a must have, but you may need it

If you upgrade to EMGs on your bass you might need the ABC if you usually play both pickups at the same time. It is not entirely necessary but it sure as hell makes life a bit easier for small tone tweaks.

Indispensable pour les pros.

Avec le temps j'ai appris à utiliser toutes les possibilités qu'offre un instrument à deux micros, des fender et squier JB pour ma part.

J'ai donc été confronté au problème de baisse de niveau de sortie dès qu'on baisse le niveau d'un micro par rapport à l'autre. Dans les faits, au delà de votre propre perception, cela est "chiant" pour la personne qui vous sonorise à l'occasion des concerts. De plus c'est chiant aussi pour soit, car difficile à retrouver exactement sur scène. Je cherchais donc une balance, mais là encore, problème de niveau sortie, cette fois sur la position à 50/50, obligeant à jouer avec le potard de volume. de ce fait je n'avait jamais franchi le pas de passer mes doubles volumes en balances. Puis en regardant le site d'EMG, je suis tombé sur cette balance.

Force est de constater que ça fait très bien le boulo! On perd un peu l'effet "double" qu'on obtenait avec les deux potards de volumes séparés mais au moins, on maitrise facilement "son" volume. Le copain aux manettes n'en est que plus heureux;) Bref aujourd'hui j'en commande un deuxième pour ma 5 cordes car je ne peut plus m'en passer.

Sehr gut!

Macht genau das was das Ding soll!
Da ich statt VVT seit Jahren VBT gewöhnt bin, habe ich diesen Balance Regler für das PJ-Set bestellt, und eingebaut! Durch das Stecksystem sehr einfach zu installieren, und erfüllt voll seinen Zweck! Auch in Mittelposition volle Leistung vorhanden!
Daumen hoch!
