- Allows players to boost the midrange and volume of a single coil pickup to give it a sound similar to a humbucker
- This effect is achieved by boosting gain in a broad mid-band fashion and reducing highs as you turn the knob up
- The result is a fatter, louder tone from any single coil pickup
- Can also be used with a humbucker to increase your overall volume and midrange for a really fat tone
- A great addition for slide guitars
The SPC or "Strat Presence Control" is often called the fat control. The original intent of the SPC was to turn the tone of a single-coil pickup into a dual-coil. This is accomplished by boosting the gain in a broad mid-band fashion and reducing the highs. The result is a fatter, louder tone from any single coil pickup, but you can also use it on a humbucking to give you a high output, really fat tone that's great for slide guitar.
