bokchoi77 Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 Hi All, I'm throwing this one to you gurus of building and wiring! As detailed in my thread in the build area, I'm putting together a replica of a Turner Model 1. The wiring for it is a bit of a sticking point, while I'm quite experienced in electronics and putting things together as well as reading diagrams etc I'm a bit lost in how to replicate the features on this one, a lot of which seems to be proprietary wizardry! So anyway, the specs I've gathered are: One high output humbucker pickup (Turner makes these in house I understand) Passive Volume and Tone controls Pickup can be run in passive or active via a toggle switch Boost control for active mode "Semi Parametric" EQ control (This is the real head scratcher) Any ideas or suggestions? I'd like to get as close to genuine as I can. Thanks folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
curtisa Posted October 9, 2018 Report Share Posted October 9, 2018 1 hour ago, bokchoi77 said: "Semi Parametric" EQ control Do a google search for 'variable mid eq schematic' or 'semi-parametric mid eq schematic' or similar. Semi-parametric usually implies that it's variable frequency and variable boost/cut, rather than fully parametric, which will add variable 'Q' to the mix (the 'sharpness' of the boost/cut). The Boss MT2 Metal Zone pedal has an example of semi-parametric mid control, as do the EQ sections of many mixers. Many bass preamps will include a semi-parametric mid EQ section, but they're probably tailored to bass usage rather than guitar. If that's getting too complicated, there a a few fixed-frequency mid boost preamps out there by EMG ($$$) and Guitar Fetish ($), amongst others.
