  • Anybody tried splitting the Parallel Axis Stack? (contemplating autosplit)

    I have a PA-STK in middle position (between a PATB-1n and a PATB-3).
    Am rewiring the guitar to autosplit in positions 2 & 4.

    Am wondering if I ought to split the middle to balance with split coils from the neck or bridge.
    I don't want the middle overpowering them - it's singlecoily sounding but also fairly muscular.

    Has anybody here used this pickup in an autosplit configuration?

    If you left it full strength, did it play nice with the splits?
    And if you autosplit it, did you use a Superswitch or is there an easier way?

    Has anyone tried it split by itself? How did it sound?

    I'd appreciate any advice & info - especially from PA-STK users, but helpful advice from anybody would be welcome.

    I don't have a PA Stack, but if it wasn't split, it wouldn't be hum-cancelling, since there would be 3 coils in play (2 from the PA and 1 from the split humbucker). Just have to be careful to split to the top coil.

      Yah, thanks.I figured I could get hum cancelling with the right coil choices.
      Curious about levels though.

          It will be louder when split?
