Would the blackout modular preamp work with 4-wire stacked PUs such as PA-STK1n and STK-S2? How about a split coil or split rail PUs, such as SVR-1 and SDBR-1?

Hi, I would like to ask you guys what out of phase wiring leads to best result tonewise and outputwise. I mean most different tone (compared to bridge and neck standard tone combinations) and higher output (I know we output will be lower anyway). bridge and neck in parallel? bridge and neck in...

Ok, I understand that cool rails and vintage rails have different design approaches, different projects. However, I wonder how different they sound when they are wired the same. cool vs vintage (both in series should sound fatter) cool vs vintage (both in parallel should sound vintage)...

I wonder if you guy have tried to split or parallel wiring with the stack single coils. I wonder how does the parallel stack coils sound individually and in parallel, the same for the hot stack (seems to be a killer output in series, but how about each coil individually or both in paralell?)...

Ok, here is a doubt. Hot rais, cool rails, vintage rails, duckbuckers, JBJr, lil screamin demon, lil 59. Why all true single coil sized HBs are ceramic? Is there any technical reason for not using alnico in the lil versions?

Hi, I would like to ask what would be the best pickups, for the neck position os a solid body, having in mind a nice jazz clean tone. I wonder how close can we get to a hollow body tone. Is it possible with any single coil sized hum cancelling pickups? I am aware that is not perfectly...

Does anyone have tried the alumitone from lace sensor http://www.lacemusic.com/Alumitone_Single_Coil.php. I wonder how they feel like, and if they would mix nice with a lil screamin demon or a hot rails...

Is there such a thing? A single coil sized hum cancelling P90? Maybe a single coil sized STK-P1? What is the closest we can get to that? Any of the SD single coil sized humbuckers would sound close to a P90 in parallel maybe?

Hi, anyone could tell me whether PA STK 1n would be a nice neck PU when we have hotrails or lil screamin demon at the bridge? I mean tonewise and outputwise...

SD site says PA-STK1n Parallel Axis is 6,8k of resistance. It comes with a 4-conductor cable, so I realize that resistance is for a parallel wiring (aiming at a more single-coiled sound). So, my question is what would be the resistance and output for a series wiring. Would it be a fatter...

Dear fellows, Sorry if I failed to find anything in the forum or youtube, but I wonder if anybody would have a fair soundclip comparing: (Passive PU) x (Passive PU + BMP) x (BMP with coil pack or original Blackout) I read a lot the forum threads, it is clear that the BMP preserves part of the...

Hi every one, I was planing to use two single coil sized HB at the bridge position with a floyd rose bridge. Would that work fine? The spacing would be ok, or must I use a trembucker always to have good results?

Greetings, I am studying the BMP to decide if I should try it. After a quick search at the forum I found some answers, but I still have some doubts. Coil split issue is clear, if I do it, I will get the traditional hum. But: 1) Can I do phase inversion of one coil in the input of the BMP (I...
