Torres Super Midrange

Has anyone ever tried one of these?

Super Midrange

Anyone ever dealt with them, are their products decent?

[lovekraft]

Yes, they work pretty well - I've got one on my bench now, awaiting a victim. If you want to know what you're getting, check here for a variation on the same circuit.

Thanks for the reply. In a strat, I assume:

1) it replaces one of the tone controls

2) you have rewire all of the pups to go through the other tone control

3) this device works for all of the pups

Does it come with instructions?

[lovekraft]

1) Yes, it works just like a tone control.

2) Yes, it's probably to your advantage to wire it as a master tone.

3) If that's what you want - some people use it for just the bridge pickup, but it's up to you.

You get enough info to install it and use it - it's not really complicated, 0-5 is mid cut, 6-10 is mid boost (actually bass/treble cut). You could build one with a center detent pot so you'd know where "neutral" was if you wanted. It's about as simple as tone mods get. Using your existing tone pot, parts for it will run you about $6.00 from Mouser Electronics. If you need help wiring it, gimme a shout and I'll try to get a picture of mine.

Yep. have had one on my strat for about 3 years now, and it's a good mod.
