Description
EMG SA/SA/SA with SPC/EXG Active Single Coil Pickup Set in Ivory
This EMG SA active single coil configuration delivers the articulate, bell-like clarity that cuts through a live mix with the noise rejection and output consistency that active electronics guarantee. The three-pickup setup with integrated SPC tone-shaping module and EXG expansion module offers versatile voice-sculpting capabilities beyond standard passive designs. Built for gigging players and studio tracking alike, this set provides pro-level signal integrity and tonal flexibility without sacrificing the bright, cutting character of single-coil response.
Active Electronics & Tonal Control
The SPC (Presence Peak Control) and EXG (Expansion Gate) modules work in tandem with the three-coil SA configuration to shape midrange articulation and manage dynamic response. Active circuitry eliminates hum and RF interference while maintaining consistent output across the full frequency spectrum—essential for stage reliability where signal path clarity can make or break your tone in real-world venue conditions.
Configuration & Versatility
Three identical SA single-coil pickups provide balanced tonal response across neck, middle, and bridge positions, with the modular electronics allowing customization of gate sensitivity and presence peak to match your playing dynamics and amplifier. Ivory finish ensures subtle aesthetic integration while the active design delivers the output headroom needed for high-gain and clean applications alike.
Key Features
- Three active single-coil SA pickups in coordinated configuration

At a Glance
The EMG SA/SA/SA with SPC/EXG is an active single-coil pickup set delivering articulate, bell-like clarity with zero-hum active electronics and integrated tone-shaping modules for live and studio work. Built for intermediate to professional players in hard rock and progressive styles, it trades the pure vintage vibe of passive single coils for output consistency, noise rejection, and dynamic control across all three positions. Choose it if you need cutting presence, high-gain headroom, and reliable signal integrity without sacrificing that bright, articulate single-coil attack.

Frequently Asked Questions
What do the SPC and EXG modules do?
The SPC (Presence Peak Control) shapes midrange articulation and presence, while the EXG (Expansion Gate) manages dynamic response and gate sensitivity. Together they let you customize how the pickups respond to your playing dynamics and amplifier without altering the core single-coil character.
Will these work in hard rock and progressive styles?
Yes. The EMG SA set is designed for hard rock and progressive applications, delivering high output, noise-free operation, and cutting presence suitable for high-gain tones, complex rhythms, and clean dynamics across those genres.
Are these pickups passive or active, and what's the difference?
These are active pickups powered by a battery or external power supply. Active electronics eliminate 60Hz hum and RF interference, deliver consistent output across the frequency spectrum, and provide headroom for high-gain and clean applications—ideal for recording and live performance where signal clarity is critical.
What's included in this set?
This set includes three identical SA single-coil pickups in ivory finish, the integrated SPC midrange control module, and the EXG dynamic expansion gate module. All electronics are coordinated for balanced response across neck, middle, and bridge positions.
How do these compare to Seymour Duncan and DiMarzio single-coil alternatives?
The EMG SA/SA/SA prioritizes active noise rejection and output consistency over the vintage tone of passive alternatives like the Seymour Duncan Liberator or DiMarzio Fast Track 1. Choose EMG if you need zero-hum reliability and modular tone control; choose passive if you prefer classic single-coil character without battery power.
Do I pay sales tax on this order?
Sales tax is collected only on orders shipped to California; orders shipped to any other US state are not charged sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. At a typical 7% rate that is an estimated $24 less at checkout than the same listed price on a marketplace, which collects sales tax as the facilitator in most states.
