It also has a sustainer that can be used as a pickup.The Awesome Power Of Rocketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226710706628133044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939722880718558099.post-21897364131903977122018-09-12T04:43:25.220-07:002018-09-12T04:43:25.220-07:00phill collen has a guitar that can switch back the...phill collen has a guitar that can switch back the sustainer to regular pickupAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939722880718558099.post-29213576580881660772013-06-06T13:48:22.456-07:002013-06-06T13:48:22.456-07:00Hi, there are two reasons why the humbuckers's...Hi, there are two reasons why the humbuckers's coil wont work.<br /><br />A: Resistance is too high for the driver circuit.<br /><br />B: The humbucker's wires aren't thick enough to handle the current from the little amplifier & would end up melting.The Awesome Power Of Rocketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226710706628133044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939722880718558099.post-2286343566248105512013-06-06T08:15:02.045-07:002013-06-06T08:15:02.045-07:00Hello, tnx for the info but have a question.

I mean using the pickup as a loudspeaker on this little amp?

My amplifier didn't have a buffer stage and I think my coil designs were a bit of wishful thinking<br /><br />I'm waiting for a few parts to arrive now before making another attempt. I'm thinking of putting a hot rails mini humbucker next to a driver on a normal bobbin.

I wrapped around the pickup. I'll try winding on the bottom of the pickup next as there is some useable space under it.<br /><br />I'm also going to try using a tiny little amp I found on ebay. Its all surface mount on a 22 by 30mm board with a 50k pot mounted on it.Paulo Rodrigueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00190647858460192668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939722880718558099.post-32531061895160725802013-02-22T20:53:13.624-08:002013-02-22T20:53:13.624-08:00Hi Paulo,

Som...Hi Paulo,<br /><br />Depends on which approach you take.<br />Some people are adding a wrap to the top of the pickup, others on the bottom.<br /><br />I don't think wrapping around the existing coil will do much good, as the distance between your winding & the magnet might be a little too far.<br /><br />I can't remember what I did on this build, though I suspect that I gutted half of a humbucker.<br /><br />My more successful coils have been on a gutted single coil.<br /><br />Did you look at my tutorial?The Awesome Power Of Rocketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226710706628133044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939722880718558099.post-19529101647904187842013-02-22T16:19:57.487-08:002013-02-22T16:19:57.487-08:00I'm building a sustainer, so far unsucessfully...I'm building a sustainer, so far unsucessfully.

If...It's a pretty easy build for the most part.<br />If you use the design from my tutorial, the electrics can be put together in about 10 minutes. The coil might take an hour to wind.<br /><br />Test the wee amp on a small speaker, then try the coil over the strings, if you get no vibration, change the direction of the coil 180 degrees.<br /><br />Some strings might sound where others dont, usually lower strings, like A & E work best. You might be surprised.<br /><br />Also it doesn't need to be mounted in the guitar to test.The Awesome Power Of Rocketshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00226710706628133044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7939722880718558099.post-76953069613401668022012-05-23T02:21:06.024-07:002012-05-23T02:21:06.024-07:00Wow looks really cool!
