Brilliant kit
Really easy to install, clear instructions and sounds great, really fills out the sound and pushes a valve amp to saturation.

Very musical boost
I've had active mid boosts on guitars before. Old charvel ones were great in the 80s. In the end I decided it wasn't worth fitting batteries just for a boost, but figured as my emg pickups had a battery anyway, it was worth another try.
I fitted this to a pickguard that was 66% the lukather set, 85 and Slv but added a more Gilmour SA to the neck, and this boost.
All I can say is wow ! The boost is mids, but just the right frequencies to be really useful both with the single coils and 85. Fattens them up nicely in a mix without getting at all muddy. Adds a little volume too.
Makes an HSS guitar very useable for all styles, not just solo boosting.

Simple, versatile, and just brilliant
I bought this one for my Stratocaster as I was looking for something to give the single coils some more power/presence at times, mostly inspired by David Gilmour's tone in PULSE... I couldn't be happier!
It works really well with cleans, with a considerable volume boost and thick mids that fatten the thin sounding single coils, and it's also great to boost your overdriven/distorted sound for solos.
The parts are sturdy, particularly the output jack, and it is very simple to use. The installation however needed some attention due to EMG's solderless system (though they work just fine with regular, passive pickups), which made things slightly harder. The battery life is excellent, I've used the same battery for over one year of frequent playing at home.
Overall, without a doubt, a great tool to shape your sound and push it further, and worth the investment.

Fantastic Mid Boost
Super versatile tool if you're a gigging musician using a SSS strat and you want the flexibility of playing 80s rock on the bridge pickup without investing in a full on distortion pedal. Also pairs amazingly with overdrives(klon, bd-2, ts9 etc.) for solos.

Exceptional mid control
Used to thicken up my SA’s
Much better than expected. Very musical sounding with just the right variation in pot.
