    noise canceling?

    OK heres the deal, i play in a punk band and while looking for a new pickup for my strat i ended up choosing a hotrail to put in the bridge position. But the problem is im a novice at wiring schematics and i was siccessful at geting it to work but im not getting the noise canceling effect i was expecting. so if anyone knows the problem please reply?

    im not quite sure what you mean by noise cancelling effect. the hot rails is a bucker so it wont have 60 cycle hum that single coils have if wired properly. the red and white wires should be connected and insulated so they dont contact anything else and ground out.
    what is the pup doing that you didnt expect it to?

        did you wire it up properly? you might be only using part of the pup (like a split humbucker)

        I'd check that first

          Yeh, putting in the lil demon i forgot to connect one wire, cant remember which one but Waoh! was there buzzing!..

          check your conections..also there probobly will be some buzzing anyway but that would be because a hot rail is alot hotter that a single coil as i found on mine so the reason is that its louder..

            go back through your wiring and make sure that it is wired the way the schematic says it should be and then get back to us. someone will figure it out. i think only one coil is on myself but i can't be sure unless i would see the wiring. check the red and white wires first. make sure they are connected well and taped off. Good luck

                I have a hotrail in my strat (bridge)

                and there is no buzzing whatsoever.
                It is very very quiet.

                Make sure the signal is going from Hot into your one coil - then into the opposite end of the other coil, then into ground. (should be flowing through one coil, then through the other BUT in the other direction!) This is how you humcancel. Maybe you wired it up so that from one coil it goes to the other coil in the same direction... Thats why there is no humcancelling...


                But generally there is NO HUM whatsoever with the hotrails...

                  the schematic that came with said somthing about splitting and i think thats the one i used, if anyone knows where to get a scematic on how to wire it with no-buzzing that would be a great help.
