  1. ah so noise generator in loop k got ya cool let us know how it works. i have an on board oscilator on a push pull that has like seven octaves. sure makes dive bombs fun
  2. essentially removing the ground and utilizing the free antenna effect of the pickups I assume its what you are speaking of. Good one
  3. dpdt switch would have six terminals not three. you had a spdt switch. as far as an arcade style switch that was maintained i have never seen one. but that doesn't mean you couldn't fashion one out of another switch. keep in mind the big plunger everyone loves is not the switch just the actuator. buy a couple and learn to tear it down and see if you can use the actuator to fire a full size switch. if your unsure of what an actuator is http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/alteractuator/alteractuator.htm here is a diy one
  4. I played with it thee other might it is good
  5. hey btw i drew this up didn't have time to check the bottom wiring but i did check the top it should work fine
  6. do you actually use the tone pot on your guitars? or do you want it in place for the loading that it will do even on ten? i assume you mean a dp-167 as a 187 is a dual rail mini humbucker. why not wire the dimarzio and run a small cable out to a box with different pots and caps so you can see what you like. with a rating of 5.5 6.0 4.5 tmb respectively i would probably go with a 500k pot if its half way in between the two positions so you can get a little more output out of it since a 270mv pickup isn't that hot. you can use a push pull but when you pull it out you are effectively removing the volume pot from the impedance to ground scenario which will alter your tone as well. unless you go with say a 500k trim pot or a resistor wired into the push pull so when you pull it out you remove the volume effect but still keep the same imp to ground and then use the volume pot as a tone. i could draw you up something if you like.
  7. the schematic he posted doesn't mute the pickups its a dual coil cut mode so you can do one or the other
  8. its actually easy and really helpful to use. i utilize one in the mid stages of my design you know the point between where what works in theory and all the freq calculations have been done but sometimes there is something that the math just doesn't get right. i built one like geofex for a few bucks. this one is a tube amp one but still you get the idea. http://geofex.com/FX_images/tubev1.jpg. i built mine from a 3 dollar amazon board with positive ground and negative terminals quite a big board for the price plus free shipping. also i scavenge surplus stainless steel from my joe jobs that and the vise make a nice bending brake. i took apart an old fender mixing board and salvaged all the pots. i made special connecters that had speaker wire terminals on them to slide onto any pot i need. and lastly for seven bucks i got a 250 pc jumper set with prefabbed connectors. the only real thing it took was a little time to put it all together. and a godlyke power supply originally powered my effect wrapper till i built a power supply from a slavaged micro pc power supply
  9. do you have any slivers of maple? i am doing a headstock repair on my vandenberg that is purely cosmetic just annoying to me. i only need something like l w d 1" .5" .5" or anything i can whittle down to fit. will gladly buy it
  10. ok i finally got my wire in. well it was more waiting on cash to come available and to stop buying guitars on my one off day. well then i glued up the prototype bobbin and broke my first bit of wire and decided that when my shop outside is finished i will work on it some more. by then i hope to be down to one job a week
  11. btw i have about a third of this done. working six days a week for the last several months is exhausting.
  12. why solder to it at all? have you never done your own welding of battery packs???? http://www.instructables.com/community/Battery-tag-tab-welder-from-a-camera-flash/ thats the quickest link i could find. i dont' have a working schematic for mine. i put four in parallel that i can switch how many stages charge then i dump the caps and weld with it you can set it for different levels for whatever you need and the best part is the camera flashes are free at your local drugstore
  13. wow 1.6hz roll off i like your style i did that with my active emg and a 1uf film cap and got a great meaty blues tone that i had never heard from an emg before. way to step outside the box brother
  14. http://www.carvinmuseum.com/pdf/guitarbass/501b-activebassmodule.pdf if that helps.
  15. we used to hook up a six way switch to a single cap and one bypass section and let the customer try it out. we labeled each one something different. in the end we gave the customer exactly what he wanted. but we always got a customer profile before we started.a jazzy player had one set of option and the guitar and pickups played a huge part as well. in the end we did more math and then handed the customer what we thought he would like. however if he didn't like any of them we would try something else. but we only had that happen once in five years. oh and btw i had a guy come in with a 10,000 dollar guitar from prs that he had to have paper and oil caps in he just had to have them.. so i had rolled him a set for 50 bucks. he said they were the best he had ever heard. i smiled said thank you and showed my business partner the sweep on the scope and we had a good laugh and i bought him a steak with that money.
  16. try a fixed resistor to drop the value. as needed or perhaps mount both in a box with a switch and decide which works best for you
  17. normal three way strat style switch used this for years its wicked... btw i didn't show tone controls or anything this is a basic block diagram
  18. I just have 1 question. where is the coil. is the pick up the coil. if so then where do we input. if not then is the coil inside of the black box that house is the amplifier. and what would the value be? I am viewing this on my mobile though maybe I'm missing something in the drawing
  19. yes dude that Is one of the things I really like about it. it has really opened up my neck pickup. although I could stand a little more gain out of it the sounds I get are amazing. it would be interesting to plot out of chart for this. but that will be another time. where I can set my shop upin the new house
  20. just to let you know i got the email with the pics in it but accidentally deleted it if you can resend i can still look at it.
  21. yes but not a true baxandal az it eats quite a bit of signal although i am not saying it couldn't be done. but yeah a treble and bass pot on it is simple enough
  22. ok well things have been slow here in pickup land. i was waiting on a check to clear to get my wire from stewmac and well that kind of went south when the router took a dump ie computer router. so hooray 85 bucks on a new d link at least its the top of the line. and for now i am possibly going to have to switch jobs but hopefully a little bench time will open up soon. i finished the first prototype single coil it is a single split instead of the triple layer i posted previously. still looking for a killer single that's loud enough for the ole vandy. i might actually shoebox the whole pickup set and just go completely custom on it. had to put it up for now since i am fixing the slight chip on the headstock as well. oh well sleep time cometh
  23. a five way or blade style switch can fit in anything if you are creative. have you ever seen one mounted sideways? and still switched from the top.
  24. Thank you I hope it will help you out. Something I remember from a long time ago. This guy (shoot I can't remember his name now but it's unique) anyway he showed me his eq and it wa interesting he had a weird subtle midrange hike that I didn't get ans4 I was like what is this? He was telling me that in recording that anything above the zero line would just give you a boost and4 not doexactly what you think. I was like yeah sure. And then he showed me. And I wa blown away. The difference was mind boggling
  25. email me the pics and i will post them for you if you like. my emails in the info thing edited ok my yahoo mesenger id is there which is the same thing
