Maybe a compressor in front of the amp? Any ideas? I just got a Solar guitar and I'm giving passives a try but they are missing that something EMG81 and Fishman Ceramics
I've never heard that active pickups compress the signal...That's disappointing that the only thing Axefx can do it an eq. Might as well change pickups at that point.
I thought because active pickups compress the signal, a compressor might work.....

I can't tell; is that a sarcastic/ironical response, or are you being serious?When the solution already exists (swapping pickups) I don't see why you would try and find a longer and much more difficult/time-consuming way to the same destination.
You're going to tweak with the new pickups too.
I'm entirely serious. Drop in an emg 81/85 set and see if it's what you're after.
Buying pickups doesn't take long. Installing pickups doesn't have to take long (a tech can do it in 30m-1hr, would depend on que).
Want the tone of active pickups? Just buy active pickups.
Did you make this graph? It's bizarre that many of those pickups look so damn similar if you just raised or lowered input gain. Especailly since having played several of them I know how different they sound and feel. Im assuming they were all tested the same and all data treated the same???maybe this can help:
I play several Music Man Luke 3 Guitars with passive Pickups.
The L3 has a aktive Preamp and boost build in which works perfectly and absolutely flawless.

I've seen this recently too. These complex scenarios that someone wants to do while only using variable A, when the scenario is simply as going and using variable B.When the solution already exists (swapping pickups) I don't see why you would try and find a longer and much more difficult/time-consuming way to the same destination.

Back to offering solutions to the OP...check out singtals guitar vault in the pickup tone matching thread and you might find exactly what you want.
This is a masterclass in people being unhelpful
