Every pickup (if installed in a guitar) has an adjustable output called the guitar volume knob. It will adjust all pickups from their full output to a lesser degree by turning the knob down or turn back up for more…… If you want the pickup to have more than the knob will provide you will need this….

this looks interesting... but you need a sound engineer.

Onto Nevin's topic, it is a good idea but will prevent you to own many "different" guitars. What fun is that :lol:

Forum user Chet Feathers with his brother Redmax designed a beautiful circuit that allowed him to replace the normal Strat controls with three toggle switches and three dual concentric knobs. So each pickup had its own volume and tone and a switch that selected off/on/out of phase.

Very cool indeed, and of course it provides three pickups each with their own variable output control (individual volume knobs). Here's the thread:

You will never see a better designed guitar circuit than that one. A thing of pure elegance.

Cheers - C

In my head (a beautiful strange place) I am imagining some strange device that changes the windings of the pickup... you know what I mean... something that is directly affecting the pickup, not applying resistance to it.

You sometimes hear people talk about "coil tapping" a humbucker, when of course they really mean "coil splitting" (running only one of the two coils).

But coil tapping does exist: it is when the windings of a coil are interuptable part way through, reducing it from, say, 9000 to 6000 winds - or whatever. Then you have a little switch that selects between either the full coil or the tapped windings, giving alternate outputs.

I guess that must sound a little different than just turning the volume up and down. It's a lot of effort to go to for a very simple result, though...! :lol:

Yes coil tapping, but with more possibilities. Would it not be interesting to have a pickup with 3 - 5 different outputs? A low winding mode, normal, high winding mode etc....

And yes, that mentioned circuit is brilliant.


Nevin this works pretty well for a pedal and does, basically, what you want.

I know Seymour Duncan makes a custom shop JB for tele that is tapped for 2 levels of output with custom wiring. 6.1k tapped, 9.6k full output.
