BigG1986 Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 sorry i know this probably seems daft but what is this phasein pups i hear about, and how do u do it and what benifits does it yeild??? sorry but im new to guitar moddin Quote
hooglebug Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 do you mean phase reversal? it gives a thinner sound to combined pickups rather than the thicker sound you usually get. its an easy mod to do, and there'll be a lot of diagrams out there Quote
BigG1986 Posted January 17, 2007 Author Report Posted January 17, 2007 but what exactly does it consist of i dont know what phase revrsal is eithe its just i see a lot of people mentionin making a tone pt into a phase etc i would like to knock my guitar (strat) into one vol one tone but what to do with the other tone pot i was thinkin of doing this phase thing to it if it is beneficail Quote
unklmickey Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 ...i see a lot of people mentionin making a tone pt into a phase ... post a link, PLEASE. i'd like to see how that is done. Quote
hooglebug Posted January 17, 2007 Report Posted January 17, 2007 well, you'd need a push/pull pot to do that. phase reverse (when used with single coils) only works with two or more pickups. with just one pickup it does nothing. heres a simple wiring diagram of phase reversal - link Quote
BigG1986 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 thats exactly what i needed to help me understand, so would i be possible to repac all ma pots with push pulls so that i could control the phase of every coil independantly Quote
hooglebug Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 it would yes, but you wouldnt need it on all of them, only on too. i would suggest having the two tone pots as push/pulls with two of the pickups going to them. the reason you dont need all three of them like this is that, if the bridge and middle are selected together, it makes no difference which of the pickups is phased, it will sound the same. so you will be able to manage with just two pickups having the effect. but remember if both pickups that are combined have their phase switches on at the same time there will be no effect, its just like having them both off Quote
BigG1986 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 thats geat coz i dont want to lose ma strat look with loads of switches is there a circuit diagram for this, i could wing it but if there is a diagram it would be handy ihave searched and not been able to come up with one Quote
hooglebug Posted January 18, 2007 Report Posted January 18, 2007 its easy enough to do without one (and i cant find one either). just use the original strat wiring (here) and for two of the pickups, place the phase reverse diagram between the pickups and the switch/pot. so the pickups will go to the phase switch, then the five way.

BigG1986 Posted January 18, 2007 Author Report Posted January 18, 2007 (edited) surely someone wpuld of though of it an posted a diagram u'd think ehh, thanks for the help im gonna try it next week edit: an im gona make the volume a kill switch using a p/p/pot on there Edited January 18, 2007 by BigG1986 Quote
