Yeah, 2 sides of the same coin, but I am trying to move beyond rudimentary "plumbing" circuit thinking to truly understand what the electrons are doing and section 1 in the diagram confuses me....
The slow and fast sine wave example appears to say that pickup coils will naturally attenuate higher frequencies, right?
Same with square waves, but the square wave is converted into a ramp wave?
And the last part seems to say that high impedance signals will be colored with ringing. Since we call pups high impedance does this mean that ringing is added to the ac signal that represents the moving string?
And once we are clear on those questions, are these factors coloring pickup sound, and are they part of pickup design?
I think I am confused thinking of sine waves and square waves from synthesizers... Maybe none of this has impact because string oscillations aren't shifting from sine to square?
I have no idea if my questions make sense and appreciate any and all clarifications!
