sir,
how do you eliminate/reduce hum from a single coil pickups without dissecting the guitar?
what i mean is, is there a stompbox or equivalent for that? noise gate/ hum destroyer?
any specific product review is ok. thanks!
Everyone loves the sound of the pure single-coil pickup, but the 60-cycle hum that it generates has been an annoyance that musicians have had to deal with for over 50 years or not deal with at all and use humbucker pickups or settle for tonal compromises like stacked single-coils, dummy coils, and active electronics. Those days are now over with the Suhr/Ilitch Electronics SSC System. Originally only available as a built-in system on our Classic guitars, the SSC is now available in a backplate that covers the tremolo spring cavity and that means you can now enjoy the benefits of this breakthrough technology on non-Suhr guitars with "pure" single-coil pickups.
The BPSSC System eliminates the noise while completely retaining the sonic character of pure single-coil pickups. The noise is gone but the sparkle, the chime, and the low-end response that you've come to love in single-coil pickups are all still there for you to enjoy and savor. The BPSSC System is easy to install and does not need any additional modifications to your guitar. Remove the current backplate on your guitar, solder the wires coming out of the BPSSC with the electronics on your guitar following the included instructions, screw the BPSSC on the back of your guitar and you're ready for great pure single-coil tone without the noise!
Finally, after over 50 years, you can get true single-coil sound without the noise. Many single-coil lovers had resigned to the fact that noise was a "necessary" artifact that couldn't be eliminated without compromising the tone. The BPSSC System proves that it is possible to get great single-coil sounds without the annoying hum – once and for all!
The BPSSC is optimized to work with single-coil pickups with the DC resistance ratings between 6K Ohms and 8K Ohms. The BPSSC requires the middle pickup to be the same polarity and the same direction winding as the bridge and neck pickups. Reverse-wound reverse-polarity middle pickup will not work with the BPSSC.

"Scott Henderson told me about the BPSSC while it was still being developed. In the meantime, I ended up sidelining one of my favourite strats because I wasn't able to record exposed passages without ruining the track with 60 cycle hum. I was very frustrated and considered selling the guitar. As soon as it was available, I ordered the BPSSC. I had no idea what to expect. After it was installed, I plugged in and was blown away by the difference. I didn't sell the guitar and the hum is no longer an issue. Meanwhile, the Tyler I had on order was ready and Jim kindly installed the BPSSC on it. Now, I have 2 AMAZING sounding quiet strats. Brilliant work guys!!! Oh yes I'm also using the V60LPs too."
