Joe uses the 2-lead version. Then he shows that its just 2 diodes back-to-back. Since it is 2 diodes, back-to-back, you can't install it backwards.

Joe is incredible guy http://tonefiend.com/ his website is full of great stuff. He uses a Boomerang 3 looper with the sidecar Artie. Look at that new guitar he just put together it is pretty spiffy http://tonefiend.com/guitar/birdmaster/

I don't know about two leads, but according to the Stew Mac catalog, it can be wired a few different ways, from subtle to nuts.

Dankstar, where in phx?

Re: output and DCR, of course you're right that we should try not to call the DCR number "output" because it's not a measure of output. But for the sake of a passive distortion circuit I've always wondered if the DCR DOES correlate to the amount of distortion, and perhaps to as great a degree as the actual volume of the pickup. In other words, since the pickup's resistance is now directly linked to the clipping circuit, is it possible that the actual millivolt output is only partially responsible for the amount of distortion you hear, and the pickup's inherent resistance is responsible for the rest? (kind of like a bias?) I suppose the resistance drop associated with two pickups on in parallel would answer that...

In any case, Joe is amazing and beyond comparison.

Hey ArtieToo, just put the last group of numbers 387UKlhLtsQ after the = sign in between the youtube tags for the link of: www.youtube.com/watch?v=387UKlhLtsQ

Yup. Been watching that video over and over.

Thanks zen. I'll make a note this time.

Wiring a pickup in parallel takes the resistance down to 1/4 of the series measurement. It doesn't give you 1/4 the output.

Um, yeah that's my point. It would teach whether the resistive load of the signal was related to the amount or character of distortion you hear, as a secondary to the signal level itself. It's not a buffered drive.

From what he said regarding "all of the action being clumped at one end of the knob" on an a250k pot, maybe a straight pot instead?
