The EMG SLVX is a modified designed of the original SLV, built for famed session guitarist and founding member of Toto, Steve Lukather. The SLVX takes the increased coil windings and the hidden poll pieces of the SLV and adds the X series preamp.
The X series preamp gives the pickup a more dynamic range along with increased headroom while keeping the more traditional string-to-string balance of the SLV. X series pickups also come with an Active Tone Control (VLPF) designed to roll-off (attenuate) high frequencies, similar to a typical passive tone control. The result is a noiseless single coil guitar pickup with a classic EMG sound and pole pieces closer to the individual strings for more output and a punchier attack.
Manufacturer's Note: Make sure to check the instructions for pickup measurements before purchasing to compare your existing pickups with EMG models.
