    Multicoil wiring idea (need help).

    It's mostly a leftover from my initial idea, now it's here for testing purposes. I've had the chance to hear some string parallel pickups on a guitar, it sounded much more powerful somehow, but that might have been due to other factors. I'm not sure if it would actually make any difference in...

    Multicoil wiring idea (need help).

    In other terms, jack of all trades - master of none. Message received! It does make sense to have less options but make those that remain SLAP. :bassist:

    Multicoil wiring idea (need help).

    Yeah, I thought that the transistors would act as switches, before I was corrected on my original post on the other thread. I was thinking "DC" instead of "AC"... Someone over there also recommended using fever "modes". That would enable me to hook everything up with only 3 DPDT switches. A...

    Magnets & Copper Wire: A Pickup Building Thread

    These are great news! One thing less to worry about. I've created a post on the pickups and electronics forum, excited to see how that goes! No harm done! I understand very little when it comes to circuits, so this is exactly the type of comment that I'm looking for. In any case, I think...

    Multicoil wiring idea (need help).

    Hello! This is a continuation of my post coming from here: Magnets & Copper Wire: A Pickup Building Thread The TL: DR version: I'm trying to build a pickup that will have 6 modes of operation (reduced from 8+, due to my lack of wiring knowledge) using 3 push/pull (DPDT) pots. The 6 modes are...

    Magnets & Copper Wire: A Pickup Building Thread

    Hey, that's actually a great idea! Someone linked to here in another multicoil build by slowburnaz, so I figured this is where all the magic happens. Never checked other categories since. I'll try there as well, linking to my previous post. Still I'd love to hear some opinions from people who...

    Magnets & Copper Wire: A Pickup Building Thread

    Making an AMP wasn't the plan, but it might be a "side effect". If I'm forced to add a battery, that is. I just added a few transistors to help with switching. The switches I have are actually 3x Push/Pull (DPDT) pots. The plan was to have the single coils split in a particular manner on each...

    Magnets & Copper Wire: A Pickup Building Thread

    Hello everyone! I'm new here, but I've been reading this thread for a while now. I've been planning my own pickup build when I found this forum. I own a GSR180 Ibanez that I've had for the past 14 years, and I finally decided to mod it. For my first project, I'm working on a multicoil pickup...
