Seymour Duncan HyperSwitch Installing and Testing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 25 кві 2023
- I installed the Seymour Duncan JB jr Stratocaster pickups with the new Seymour Duncan HyperSwitch. The HyperSwitch is a 5-way blade switch that empowers you to alter your guitar's pickup wiring configuration instantly and effortlessly using a Bluetooth app on your smartphone. You can now design, store, and recall a whole range of pickup configurations with a tap of your phone's touchscreen. The HyperSwitch is compatible with most passive guitar pickups. This video covers the installation and app configuration and a sample of 10 of the hundreds of possible configurations on the Stratocaster I modified in this video.

One thing I forgot to say. The app shows the battery level of the 9 volt battery which is pretty cool. The battery will auto shut off when not used. The expected life is about 2100 hours.
This is a great detailed video, thanks for making this
Thank you and you are welcome.
BTW - Jamie Mangrum is Guitar Collector Guy
Wow🎸《☆》Nice work and demo👍🏾Looks like a Candy Apple Red Strat. Too bad it's not going with the Loaded Pickguard😁🤳Definitely a versatile setup. I'll check into becoming a Member & potential🌵🔉Winner Winner Chicken dinner✌😎☮
An idiot proof wiring harness - that'll be the day!! And a plethora of tones in a nice wine-red package, sweet! So cool that it already knows what tuning you're in from the jump. Very insightful indeed!
Close to it!
You could install this in pretty much any guitar. Definitely a Telecaster.
Surprised you didn't mess around with splitting your humbuckers into wild combinations
I did for days after making the video.
@@guitarcollectorguy the switch has one downside which is that it can't do regular parallel wiring. Which is what players like Guthrie use for in between positions for maximum chime and a lower input on the preamp. I emailed Seymour Duncan and they said that their insane combinations create a lot of those types of parallel tones. It would be nice if someone catalogued all the everyday useful tones for a session player.
wait, so you got a 9volt to just fit in the cavity without routing anything?
I did with the body I was using. It fit and did not move around. It was a 2022 American Performer Fender Stratocaster Strat Body.
Are others having to route the control cavity?
I wanted to know if i bought two of theses for two separate guitars would the app remember the settings from both guitars. Or would you have to download the app twice to remember settings for both guitars. Thanks.
Good question but you will have to pose that as me to Seymour Duncan.
Watching some vids on this, it looks like you can name each switch/guitar separately and the app will remember the settings for each one. I assume you can only have one device active with the app at a time, but apparently the switch will retain whatever settings you save in the app, you don't have to have the app running to play, just to change the parameters for each switch position.
When you have the app set for two humbuckers (any combo or your three) in full and standard, is that two humbuckers in SERIES? Many guitars are wired to have two humbuckers (say in an HH config) in PARALLEL, but you don't often see series. Is that what the Hyperswitch is doing?
Unfortunately I don't have the guitar any longer.
@@guitarcollectorguy I actually wrote SD support and asked the question. The humbuckers are not in series - they are parallel. Because the link wires are together in one terminal, you can't put the humbuckers in series.
How long does the battery last usually?
I feel like having to take the pickguard off every month to replace the battery is the biggest drawback here
True. Unfortunately I sold the guitar.
@@guitarcollectorguy well i guess that kinda answers it then lol
It is supposed to last 2000+ hours
Too many cooks.
