Emerson Prewired
kits are unlike anything else on the market. Not content to use
off-the-shelf parts, all Emerson kits feature their own spec CTS pots.
These pots have a smooth audio taper, easy turning, and a super-tight
tolerance. We've measured several of them and they measure to within
+0/-5% of specification (many common pots are as much as +/- 20%).
You'll really appreciate the full usable sweep these potentiometers
provide.
Emerson introduced their own Paper-in-Oil
capacitor. Made to Emerson specifications in the USA, these precision
hermetically sealed components combine vintage sound and modern
manufacturing techniques to maximize your guitar tone. Much like tubes,
Paper-in-Oil capacitors are closely identified with "the sound" of
vintage guitars and amplifiers. Featuring military-spec tubular
construction with sealed glass ends, these components are perfectly
sized for guitars, and look so cool you'll hate to put your guitar back
together.
Thanks for shopping with BME!
