How do you know? Lol.

... and don't drop an AlNiCo bar on a hard floor if you don't want to end with two magnets. Don't ask me how I know... ;-)

pull the existing magnet half way out and match the polarity to whats in there already.

I did build a test jig to test tone caps at one point. Granted, it was just a couple wires coming out of the wiring harness of the...

IME, it effectively depends on the cap / rig / settings involved. And incidentally, lab tests are rather used here to "double check"...

I'd start with something that I periodically evoke for ages, although it's almost systematically ignored. He uses a 2.7nF component...

Different levels of THD can be measured with caps of the same value and materials they're made of are only a part of the picture. But...

Hi and welcome onboard. For the record, DCR is not really indicative of output, which depends on inductance, magnetic strenght and...

Thanks all. This is good info. That link is very useful freefrog, thanks.

I know this isn't what I typically write like, but I believe tone pot capacitors sound different by type, and not strictly by what they...

If the question is "How well would it emulate old caps?", I'd reply: well enough to have inspired the Greasebucket circuit to Fender...

A traditionally made Jazzmaster PU measures half the inductance of a P90, for the record. Rod magnets also give a much stronger...

they just look similar to a p90 a bit, but they sound quite different. they can sound great for both clean and dirty tones. short...

Below is an example of that. Raw resonant peak and phase response of a P90 with tone pot full up (black lines) then set @ 0 with...

Most of my good bean .022s I used up on amps. Most of what I got are .01 and .047
