  1. Sorry to jump in the middle of the the thread like this, but let's suppose I have the following scenario: - The sustainer will be Model-C like, clamped to the headstock - I have the feedback signal that drives it coming out of a line-level, unbalanced output and I can pre-process (eq, distortion, phase invert, volume change) it in the chain before. So if I'm following I'd just need a very simple power amp (like Ansil's 386-based one in his piezo under the pickup circuit) to drive a small gutted 8 ohm speaker, right? Or I risk blowing up something due to mismatches? As for the questions: How do I remove the paper from the cone without destroying it, what must I do it afterwards (I've seen a pic with a coin glued to it?) and how do I clamp the magnet? Any tips? Thanks, FZ
  2. Wow! Sorry to be back at the party so late, but nobody answered in the first month or so So basically if I use the second diagram with the green from the bridge pickup hardwired to ground I'll have the setup I described in my first post, splitting and all? Is it difficult to adapt to a Megaswitch P config? What is the cryptic remark on Duncan's site that the bridge magnet must be reversed for such wiring to have effect, and how do I check that? Thanks again, FZ
  3. Hi all. 1st post here. I'm toying with this idea for my 'ideal' 2-humbucker wiring scheme - it goes as follows: 2 passive humbuckers with 4-wire connectors 1 volume pot PRS-style 5-way rotary switch, to coax the 5 different, musical tones ouf of the HBs No tone control Problem is, the PRS rotary thing is utterly awkward ergonomics-wise, at least for me, especially when toggling on the fly, so I thought of a workaround. A 2-way toggle switch that connects the bridge humbucker directly to the output jack when engaged and lets out the normal output of the rotary switch and the volume pot when not. Tom Anderson guitars use this trick, they call it the 'blower' switch. See www.andersonguitars.com/switcheroo.html This would also allow me to - switch on the fly between pre-set cleaner sounds (say combined split pickups with 3/4 volume) and full-bore bridge HB - perform tom morello DJ-style staccato bursts (by toggling rapidly between bridge HB with full volume and silenced neck HB) without 2 separate volume controls. I'd like to know if it's somewhat possible and eventually a how-to schematic. Would it also be possible using a push-push volume pot instead of a 2-way toggle? Thanks a lot FZ
