Abstract
A musical instrument pickup, having a pickup body, a tone shaping circuit, and at least one integrated control in and/or on the pickup body. Embodiments of the present disclosure may utilize one or more techniques, alone or in combination, to adjust, e.g., the tone of a musical instrument by changing the frequency response of a pickup with the one or more integrated controls. One exemplary technique utilizes a plurality of knobs to selectively control the gain, resonant frequency, and/or circuit Q of the pickup.
