Well. Ive had some time with my new pickups.

Amazing.

I have the Air Norton in the Neck, and the FRED in the bridge. I have 2 SPDT switches for the 2 pickups, so I can select them individually. Its different. Its cool. Very 80's. Built in kill switch.

Instead of a tone knob, I just got a DPDT ON/off/ON switch, and wired a Metal Film .22 to one side, and a Ceramic .01 to the other. So I have a 2-tone switch instead of a 1 tone pot.

sorry for the thread hyjacking, but I had to tell someone. . .im so excited.

The Air Norton is a lovely pickup. Its FAT as a burger, even with GHS 10's, it makes them sound MUCH thicker, like I was playing 13's or something.

I have a very Satch-like tone. Its nice.

Ah jeez.

I have given up on the sustainer. All it does is make extreem feedback and pickup a local radio station.

So, I wired in the FRED and Air Norton in and am happy with that.

I put one in my guitar about 10 minutes ago. I need to play it to see. . . .

i dunno how to deal with the buzzer. So i will set it aside.

I have cracked open a set of American Airlines headphones, and gotten 2, 1'' mini speakers. They have a clear plastic cone with a little metal shiny center. I believe its piezo. ran a cd played through the headphones and I could hear the music in through the pickups on of my other guitars.

So I believe those will work. Does it matter which side I face the speaker? I think I should put the cone facing the pickup.

I will post sounclips on soundclick.com when im done. If I can get it to work. Im very anxious to hear it.. . .

Does anyone know a good site that will define capacitor symbols?

I was on these forums a while back. But I forgot my screenname, so. . .

Well.

I have just returned from Radio Shack with the supplies needed for Ansul's sustainer project.

I happened to realize that I have bought a small Piezo Buzzer. Is that the same thing as a piezo speaker? Or does it just buzz?

If its not what im looking for, cant I just jack one out of a stolen pair of American Airlines Headphones?

Thanks and reply with haste!
