I like to use simulations like this to chose a tone cap value that gives me a bump around 2.5kHz. Its pretty cool on a low output single coil guitar because go can go from a Fenderey clean sound to a thick Gibsoney at the turn of a knob.
Thanks for another great video! I've never had much luck with L and C values from manufacturers. I test pickups myself with a low z driver coil, sig gen and scope, to find their resonant frequncy. Then I work backwards with formulas or spice to work out the actual inductance and parasitic capacitance. You have to remember to account for the input capacitance of your scope, though.
Yep. Especially when you are dealing in the picofarad range, scope input capacitance is "a thing"
@Rob Mods. That sounds great! How about making a video explaining/ demonstrating it all?
Out of curiosity I looked to see if you made vids and you do. Watched a couple and subbed!
Stock Passive Alnico 5 Humbuckers in my PRS SE 245 Custom. If you get the right height they sound amazing. Greetings from Italy :)
Hi any chance you would do a klon style kit/pcb soon? Cheers
👍
Are there any videos related to measuring the frequency response of your devices?
We do. Any particular one you are looking at? If we don't have it, it shouldn't be hard to make up a video on that.
Would the pots be A/log or B/lin?
Supplementary; is a D reverse B?
Just wondering.
Hi Steve, good question. The pots on most of my guitars are A/Log. However, my Glarry Bass originally had B/Lin for both the volume and tone. I have since upgraded the pots to CTS A/Log ones. I've only seen A/Log, B/Lin, and C/Reverse Log, so I don't believe I've ever ran into a D. And let the jokes fly on that statement.
Thanks for answering. Linear logically sounds more likely. I've put together a couple of chorus pedal circuits and Bs seem to give more range.
You’re showing your humbucker wired in parallel. It should be series. In parallel it will be 3.95k
To answer your last question( I’m a pickup maker, so I use my own pickups. They are passive. My bridge humbucker is similar to what you modeled.
I thought in-series was wiring the output of the first "coil" into the input of the other "coil" which adds the outputs together?
@@erikvincent5846 Yes, and now that I look again they are series. It was the virtual capacitor that threw me. 😄
