EMG EXG Guitar Expander Active Tone Control sku number EMG42
For exceptional flexibility in tone at your fingertips, there is no better choice than the EXG Guitar Expander. The frequency response of the EXG is similar to a typical guitar amp equalization. The lows and highs are boosted while the midrange is dipped out as you turn the knob up. The result is a fuller tone that doesn't get muddy, keeping your sound clean and clear, and letting your guitar stand out in the mix. This sounds great with single coils, P90s and humbuckers - giving each a whole new frequency response and tonal options. The EXG works with active or passive guitar pickups

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this work with my passive guitar pickups?

Yes. The EXG works with both active and passive pickup configurations, so you can use it on any electric guitar regardless of electronics.

What exactly does the EXG do to my tone?

As you turn the knob up, it boosts the low and high frequencies while scooping out the midrange—similar to a typical guitar amp EQ. This produces a fuller, clearer tone that stays articulate without muddiness and helps your guitar cut through in a mix.

Which pickup types does it sound good with?

The EXG works well with single coils, P90s, and humbuckers, giving each a new tonal character and frequency response options beyond what the pickup alone can deliver.

Can I use this live and in the studio?

Yes. The EXG is designed to work in any signal chain, making it suitable for live performance, gigging, home recording, and studio sessions.

Do I pay sales tax on this order?

We collect sales tax only on orders shipped to California. Orders shipped to any other US state are charged $0 sales tax at checkout when you buy direct from our website. Marketplaces such as eBay, Reverb and Amazon collect sales tax in nearly every state as marketplace facilitators no matter who the seller is, so the same item at the same price costs less bought direct. Free US shipping and 30-day returns are included. Some states ask buyers to self-report use tax on out-of-state purchases.
