Totally missed the video. That thing sounds great! My favorite was the first setting, which I'm assuming is both pickups wide open?

Oh I like that. What are the settings on the different parts of the video? Sounds like the pickups combine pretty well!

The settings are, as far as I remember.

0:00 - 0:16 P pickup 100%, Neck pickup 0%, Tone 100%.

0:16 - 0:28 - P pickup 100%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

0:28 - 0:40 - P pickup 80%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

0:40 - 0:50 - P pickup 50%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

*point at Rickenbacker behind me*

0:50 - 1:01 - P pickup  0%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

1:01 - 1:06 - P pickup  0%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 0%.

1:06 - 1:10 - P pickup  0%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

*grabs pick and plays same riff*

1:10 - 1:16 - P pickup  0%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

1:16 - 1:23 - P pickup  30%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

1:23 - 1:28 - P pickup  70%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.

1:28 - 1:32 - P pickup  70%, Neck pickup 0%, Tone 100%. This shows you the solo'd P pickup with the bass being cut by the 4.7 nF cap on the volume pot.

1:32 - 1:36 - P pickup  100%, Neck pickup 0%, Tone 100%. - Full P pickup

1:36 - 1:41 - P pickup  100%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100% - Both pickups turned up full, with a mids scoop.

1:41 -> - P pickup  80%, Neck pickup 100%, Tone 100%.


From here on out I'm not sure what precise combinations I used!  :rolleyes:

It sounds so much better than a traditional PJ setup!
