It's like putting your guitars on Viagra.You know this is true: "Cheap things aren't good, but good things aren't cheap."
Now you know what you are paying for.
- After getting this guitar, I stayed up all night playing it.
- It's almost absurd how many unique tones you get from this guitar and a set of pickups.
- The switches change the sound of the guitar so much its like a completely different guitar. A top quality unit.
- This guitar is now the best sounding guitar I've ever owned. It has so much more to offer; country, metal, blues - it's incredible. Every pickup tone is useful. I'm getting more session work because of these ultra-twangy tones.
- WOW! This guitar is awesome! I had no idea so many different tones were hidden inside this guitar.
- One of my guitar buddies came over. He started playing the guitar and for about an hour I couldn't communicate with him because he kept going through all the pickup switch tone combinations.
- Ever since getting the guitar, my playing style has exploded one hundred fold! I've been looking for this for years.
- This lets you Get Amazing Tones. For all smart players who insist on quality sound.
- I am SO pleased with the guitar. The standard switch is an 8-pack of Crayolas when compared to your upgrade which is the 98-pack with built in sharpener. I now have colors I didn't even know I wanted. Do I need EACH of the additional tones? No, of course not; but there are many new tones which — now that I have heard them — I cannot live without.
- The only thing I don't like now is trying to decide which pickup tone to use for any given song!
You can do the following things with this guitar:
This AweSome-Enhanced guitar will give you pickup tones that are so "Fat" they're OBESE!
Here is how you use our T4-Switch.
It gives you two groups of three mini switches. One group controls each of the Bridge pickup coils, letting you turn each one On (either in normal phase and reverse phase) and Off with all combinations in either a Parallel or Series circuit. The other group controls each of the Neck pickup coils, letting you turn each one On (either in normal phase and reverse phase) and Off with all combinations in either a Parallel or Series circuit.
There are really two "groups" of switches:
(SW1, S5B, SW2) -and- (SW3, S5N, SW4)
(control bridge coils) (control neck coils)
Here is how the switches are used:
Switches SW1, SW2, SW3 and SW4 are ON-OFF-ON switches used to turn an individual pickup coil Off and On. The middle position of each switch is Off. The down position turns the pickup On (in normal-phase) and the Up position turns the pickup On (in reverse-phase).
Switches S5B and S5N are ON-ON (a.k.a. ON-NONE-ON) switches that are used to put the two pickup coils into a Series circuit when in the Up position. When Down, the two pickup coils are in a Parallel circuit. Pretty simple, don't you agree?
Here are two things you must remember when putting pickup coils into a Series circuit:
First, putting two pickup coils in Series circuit creates a "Compound" (i.e., Humbucker) pickup that gives you about 8 to 15 percent More output (think Heavy Metal/Jazz tone).
Second, because the pickup coils are in a Series circuit, BOTH of the affected pickup coils that are in a Series circuit MUST be On (either in normal-phase or reverse-phase). Any non-Series circuit pickup can be either Off or On (either in normal-phase or reverse-phase).
What Each Switch Controls
Switch SW1: Turns on pickup coil #1 (down is normal-phase, up is reverse-phase, center is Off.)
Switch S5B: Puts both coils #1 and #2 into a Series circuit when Up. Both pickup coils MUST be On.
Switch SW2: Turns on pickup coil #2 (down is normal-phase, up is reverse-phase, center is Off.)
Switch SW3: Turns on pickup coil #3 (down is normal-phase, up is reverse-phase, center is Off.)
Switch S5N: Puts both coils #3 and #4 into a Series circuit when Up. Both pickup coils MUST be On.
Switch SW4: Turns on pickup coil #4 (down is normal-phase, up is reverse-phase, center is Off.)
The various combinations of all of these switches will give you 68 pickup tones.
