Members jedistar Posted July 25, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 25, 2009 I like the idea of a a lil '59, or A2P in the mid & neck pos, but there are other options too : http://home.earthlink.net/~tfntech/sitebuildercontent/sitebuilderpictures/metal-hh-front.jpg - i like this one ! (also see like directly below) http://home.earthlink.net/~tfntech/id26.html .......................................... Or get this : http://www.flickr.com/photos/10707229@N02/948676435/sizes/o/.......................................... Or use an EHX Knock Out before the amp, and a Duncan PU Booster. These two together you will 'out-Les Paul', a Les Paul. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvovBl3cj0 - Knock Out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3xIXw9JIqjk - Pick Up Booster w res. switch. " www.ProGuitarShop.com-The Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster is the first pedal designed to work specifically with your pickups. This dynamic little boost pedal gives you up to 25db of gain as well as a resonance switch. This switch gives you three options...1-resonance is shifted down 2-3kHz. 2-Resonance is shifted down 3-5Khz. 0-Resonance is not affected. This switch is designed for use with single coil pickups. Position 1 makes them sound and respond like vintage humbuckers, position 2 makes them sound like modern, high gain humbuckers. Position 0 is a totally neutral, transparent clean boost designed for boosting your amp or your signal in a long effects chain.The Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster could possibly be the ultimate boost pedal. When switched to "1" and engaged, it makes a Strat sound like an old SG. Thick and rich like milk chocolate. When switched to "2", your single coils take on the tone of a modern humbucker with ceramic magnets. When in the neutral position, the Pickup Booster is totally transparent and retains your true signal. In this mode the Pickup Booster is ideal for pushing the front end of your tube amp or overdrive pedal. The Seymour Duncan Pickup Booster is probably the most useful pedal you could have on your pedalboard. " Hope this helps. Sorry for not carefully reading this entry - wasn't dissin you. Not keen on the 2 humbucker combo as i'd like to keep to single coils for Strat time noise. I like the idea of the Duncan Pick up booster and will hunt one of these down. Not sure if the EHX pedal will be my bag.What I find most frustrating is that the two pickups I really want to keep are a bridge singel coil AND a bridge HB...Have tried split coils with no luck...has someone ever built a humbucker like this?:x yx yx yy xy xy xThis is two offset rows of coils. The Y series acts as a single coil same as a Strat output and offset sort of like a strat singel coil.The X series makes up the humbucker - possibly with lower output voltage so that the combined output is like a PAF HB.Not sure that this would work but....

Members Davo17 Posted July 28, 2009 Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hmm check out G&L's split single coils. Interesting idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jedistar Posted July 28, 2009 Author Members Share Posted July 28, 2009 Hmm check out G&L's split single coils. Interesting idea. Yes a bit like that - I figure by building a humbucker offset like this would overcome the difference in angle that u get with the bridge strat single coil.
