  • Coil split resistors ala PRS?

    Hi,
    I suspect that this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find it.
    Have any of you tried the fixed resistors (1.1 and 2.2k) that prs now uses in their coil tap circuit?
    I assume the 1.1k is used for the neck and the 2.2k is used for the bridge?
    What fixed resistor values have worked for you guys?

    Ok, let me ask it this way....
    Am I off base planning to use a 1.1K split resistor on a Jazz neck and a 2.2K on a Pearly Gates Bridge?

      I haven't tried that, but sounds like it would be a step in the right direction.

        OK,
        With any luck I should know today if this works.

          Sorry to hijack, but why would you want to do this? How does it affect tone? I really have never heard of this before.

            You can tune your coil splits by running a resistor or capacitor in series or parallel.

              Ok, the 2.2K with the Pearly gates works well. The split jazz with 1.65K (two 3.3K in parallel) is OK but I need to lower it a bit I think.
              I couldn't find a 1.1K. I guess I will try two 2.2K in parallel next.
              Still very usable split tones with out a ton of volume loss.what have you guys used for the Jazz in the past when splitting?
              BTW, the Jazz and PG (trembucker) both with covers works great in a PRS SE Single Cut Trem.
