Description
If you love the growl of passive pickups but wish you had a little more shaping power on tap, the EMG BTC System HZ hands you an active EQ stage without touching your tone’s core character. Built specifically to pair with passive pickups, this pre-wired rig combines a concentric bass/treble stack, a balance (blend) control, and a master volume into one clean, solder-minimal install.
- Concentric pot delivers roughly 12dB of cut and boost independently on bass and treble
- Center-detented controls snap back to flat/neutral so you never lose your baseline tone while experimenting
- Onboard dual-dip switch lets you reprogram the treble frequency response four different ways, tailoring where that top-end boost actually kicks in
- Surface-mount construction keeps the circuit dead quiet and sips very little current from a standard 9V battery
BTC-style EQ has become something of an industry standard for bass players who want shaping options without an active pickup swap, and this HZ version brings that same flexibility to passive setups. Whether you’re scooping mids for a slap tone or adding low-end punch for a fingerstyle groove, the detented knobs make it easy to return to your go-to setting instantly.
In the Box: 2 concentric knobs plus 2 knobs for balance and master volume.
