Howdy, y'all.
I ordered some Black Winters for my Agile Chiral Parallax 7 string and have all my tools ready. I just want to get some reassurance from others who actually know what the fuck they're doing. I bought BWs for my Ibanez RG7321 a few years ago and had the same confusion. In my old...
So, unless I'm going crazy and this is all just in my head, my guitar tone suddenly just got a lot muddier. I mostly use amp plugins on my pc for tones, and I had created a preset with my Neural DSP Omega Ampworks Granophyre that I was really happy with. Very heavy distortion, but very defined...
Just signed up to this wonderful community and would like some advice regarding my Ibanez RG7421. (I'm based in the UK)
Obviously this is a great guitar - neck feels great and the body is lovely (I have the burl-capped version in grey) however there are some issues with the guitar and before I...
Looking at replacing the electronics and wiring in my Ormsby which has metric pots and I've seen Aristides use MEC pots for their guitars which are also Metric sizing and was wondering if anyone has experience with MEC pots, switches and jacks?
Hey guys,
Last week I bought a Kustom Quad 100 dfx combo. It has a faulty fx section so I got it for 25€. Dirt cheap!
The amp basically works fine until you engage the fx switch. Then you get a loud hum and no guitar tone whatsoever. The hum gets louder by turning the volume knob. So I assume...
Hi there!
I haven't been active on this forum for a while now. As far as I remember, there were some people interested in building amplifiers and electronics in general. I am an electrical engineer and work with digital electronics, embedded design and digital signal processing. A hobby of...
Hi!
I would very much appreciate your help to find an issue with the electronics on my Epiphone Les Paul Standard with an EMG 81 in the bridge position. The EMG 89 in the neck positions works fine.
The problem is that it's either very noisy, or very weak sounding. It's changing from one state...
What's up guys,
Anybody know what options for configuration I can get with 2 humbuckers and a 5 way lever switch?
there's 5 sounds I really want
1 - Bridge Hum
2 - Bridge Hum + Neck Single
3 - Both Single and Phase inverted (like both inner coils I guess)
4 - Neck Single
5 - Neck...
Hello all, this would be my first post...
I'm new to pickup swapping and such, so forgive me for being a newb. I did search everywhere for solutions to this problem, so I'm not sure what else to do. It's a little strange.
I have a Schecter Damien Elite-7, and I recently took out the neck...
So... this is the result of nearly four years' development (on and off) of a prototype that I hope will prove of interest to a few out there... it would be really great to hear what anyone thinks - it's all been in my own head too long and I need feedback!
I'll start with a few pictures and...
My main eight, an Agile Intrepid Pro 828 MN Nat, has NO tone knob. It has a single EMG 808 and a volume knob and that's it. I've already ruled out routing another pickup hole but want to add a tone knob to male the whole thing a little more versatile. Has anybody done this before? Can I do it...
What do you people think of the Seymour Duncan jason becker signature pickup?
How does it contrast to stock carvin pickups as well?
How would someone find a suitable pickup to compliment another pickup?
So I am building an ABY box and I tried to build it once already and it didn't work. I think i melted the platic of one of the lugs on the dpdt pushbotton switch which made it come out of its place. I am ordering another two switches but my question is this. Which way is up on these switches...
Hey all,
So I just began reshielding my Ibanez RGA121. I'm at an impasse where I'm debating whether or not to shield the pickup routes. I've done this on other guitars, but not sure whether or not it was absolutely necessary. The other factor in this decision is that the neck pickup route is...
Hi.
I am new to the forum, however I shan't do introductions here. I mention this only because I don't know if I'm posting in the right area as most people seem to be starting threads re pickups.
However the sub forum description did read "hardware, tech" and I'd consider this a techie...
Hey guys. So i've had this Bill Lawrence for a while. Bought it off a shady character for like 15$. I finally got it installed the other week only to discover that it had no bass sound/frequencies. :mad: If you'll notice the gash on the side of the pickup the guy who sold it to me probably...

Is it possible to do such a thing? On my RG7321, I have a 707 on the bridge and a 60-7X on the neck from EMG, but I want to put a Juggernaut in where the 707 is, but I really like the glassy cleans I get form the 60-7X. Is it possible to have an active and passive pickup combination?
For those who own a Conklin Bill Dickens 7....I have some questions:
1. My bass seems to be way too "boomy" on the low B and low E strings, meaning that it appears to have far more volume and energy than the other strings (however, the other strings are fine in their signal levels). I have...
Okay so I'm attempting to wire up my Agile with some 4-conductor passives (old DiMarzios I had kicking around if you must know), but I want to introduce a master coil split (i.e. one knob splits both pickups) and a Suhr-style "blower" switch (i.e. bridge pickup -> output jack).
My issue is...
