We Design and Manufacture Upgrades That Give Your Electric Guitar & Bass More Pickup Tones. We have Incredible Upgrade Products you cannot get anywhere else! |
| ==================== |
|
We have created the ultimate in "Lego-like" upgrades for your electric guitar and bass.
Our high performance Pickup Switch UpgradeTM products are designed to give you ALL of the pure analog pickup sounds that are silently "hiding" in your electric guitar or bass. And because our upgrade products are completely passive, your recording sessions or performances won't be disrupted by dead batteries or broken electronics.
Our Grand Canyon Wide selection of Pickup Switch UpgradeTM products are now the best ever.
Our high performance Pickup Switch UpgradeTM products are for all electric guitar and bass players. All of our instrument upgrades use one of the following core Switch Upgrade types.
- The T4-Switch uses six switches to control four coils to get 68 pickup tones. Adding our VT-3 Volume-Tone control gives you 102 pickup tones.
- The T3-Switch uses six switches to control three coils to give you 35 pickup tones.
- The T2-Switch used three switches to control two coils to give you 6 pickup tones.
- The T2P-Switch uses two switches to control standard Precision Bass pickups to give you 4 pickup tones.

This switching system cannot be used with active (battery-powered) pickups or piezoelectric pickups.
Active (i.e., battery-powered) pickups manufactured by Bartolini, EMG, Seymour Duncan, etc. will not work with our growing family of high performance patented Pickup Switch UpgradeTM products. These active pickups use a design that prevents any of the pickups from being put into series because it sends -9VDC back to the first pickup, shorting out the circuit. Although some manufacturers now sell "add on" products to give you some of the functionality that our products automatically provide, this design limits their versatility and increases the cost to the musician. Many people who have tried these products remove them because they are "too sterile sounding". Anything that uses batteries will likely go dead at a crucial time — like when you're performing or in the recording studio. Bill Lawrence was right when he said, "Batteries belong in flashlights."
