This pedal has a lot of rules:
To really enjoy the pedal, please follow these 5 rules :
• Rule 1 : Just after the guitar, no device between the ReKoil and the guitar
• Rule 2 : Only for passive pickup (will act as an EQ on active pickup)
• Rule 3 : Connected with a cable (will act as an EQ on wireless système)
• Rule 4 : No treble bleed on the guitar
• Rule 5 : Volume knob at full position

Yes it does.
I'm pretty sure a good EQ setting could come close to it too! I checked without success for schematic or gut shots.
Rule 3 seems weird to me. But since I don't own a wireless system, I don't really know the subtlety that comes with such setup.
Rule 1 was a given.Rule 5 is almost aways my case.

If I were to do my amazing impression of a dipshit internet troll who actually knows nothing, which I actually am so I totally will...
I would hazard a guess that it's probably the same as what's at the core of any of the analog "acoustic guitar simulator" pedals that have been created like the famous Woody circuit or the Scholz/Rockman Acoustic Simulator Pedal: they do a thing where they split the signal, yank the split portion out-of-phase by 90 degrees, then re-introduce a portion of that back into the unmolested signal.
It creates some comb filtering that whilst billed and sold as "acoustic-like" always felt to me MUCH closer to that two-out-of-phase-single-coil-pickups-together sound, but can be achieved with a humbucker. I've rambled on endlessly on other threads here about the Rockman "Clean 2" sound that's all over Def Leppard's Hysteria and a million other 80s records...same thing.
I think those circuits tend to include an Expander circuit mixed into the final combined signal as well. Would not be surprised is someone finally said "hey actually this circuit actually sounds more like single coils" and just repackaged it.

Put a Bill Lawrence Filter in a box (or your guitar).
BTW: use the 3H Bass Filter for a guitar pickup in the same Inductance range for a better function.
Filter
Q-Filter & Bass Filter Bill's filter is an LCR, inductance, capacitance, and resistance network, sized as a 1" cube, and can be a helpful device for multi-sound capabilities. It is ideal for those players who do not typically use their tone control. It is like taking turns off your pickup...

I'm with you there! I think only certain fuzzes get that honour from my guitars.

I developed a special buffer so I wouldn’t even have to baby fuzzes anymore.
Don’t mess with my volume control!

If it doesn't inject 60hz hum it's not a genuine single coil simulator. 
They also make a single coil > humbucker version. They are also the builder of the "Exchanger" pickup simulator pedal.
I've been curious about these for a while but just haven't managed to get my hands on one.

For anyone interested, EMG sells onboard EQs that do this - astonishingly well I might add. The SPC is single to humbucker and the RPC is humbucker to single. There's schematics of both on fsb. I've built the SPC and it's now a must-have in any single coil guitar for me.

I know you're kidding, but... the nuclear explosion make me afraid anyway.
Then there are the Pickups with little slider switches to change from Humbucker to single Coil or P90's type sounds!

One thing ive learned from my homie @Guardians of the analog is to STOP trying to make things sound like other things.
Single coils are single coils and humbuckers are humbuckers. There is no do it all guitar in the truest sense.
Frankly, there are worse things than owning multiple guitars.
