Emg Mid boost problem!

7/8/2000 3:58 PM
Ethan	Emg Mid boost problem! Hi everyone, I'm hoping someone can help with this. Here's the deal: I have an amer. stand. strat that I put 54 custom shop pickups in. I'm trying to put an EMG mid boost pot (spc control) on the system. I have 2 250K pots (vol/tone) and the mid-boost, and I'm using a battery and EMG jack. The whole thing works fine, but when the vol. pot is turned it makes a "weeeooop" sound that is pretty loud, like it's feeding back, but only in the middle of the pots range. No problems when the pot is all the way up or down. I triple checked the connections by an EMG wiring diagram and everything looks correct. This control is supposed to work w/passive pickups. Help! Thanks, Ethan.
