Humbucker phase testing

[Sock Puppet]

Yep. Le Stella Artois talking.

It will change the phase electrically yes. The RWRP second coil needs reverse magnetic polarity to hum cancel (think of a strat middle pickup) Or are you...

[Sock Puppet]

Have you checked that the magnets in one half are opposite polarity to the other?

Otherwise it won't be humbucking...

[Sock Puppet]

Don't forget the fake transistors. I ended up scrapping an amp before the penny dropped/

2SC5200 on the left, copper base. Pretend version...

Quick and clean.

It's all yours, check your PM...

Meh... It's off my bench now.

Hi Andrew.

From the video, the Green/Blue LED pair associated with that coil will be reversed, so the Blue will light when the chisel goes toward...

[Sock Puppet]

Yes, the capacitors are there to keep the LEDs on a short while and the zeners protect against any unwanted high voltages at the sensitive gates.

First off, the chisel is an Irwin.Marples 3/4" MS500 All-Purpose Chisels with Striking Cap - Tools - IRWIN TOOLS

- though a steel rule...

I snipe - I get a splitting bad head if I'm waiting to bid at the last minute!

I use Gixen with the mirror, set the bid and forget about it....

[Sock Puppet]

I put together a simple test bed for checking pickup coil phase - schematic to follow.

Having checked for coil problems and establishing continuity...

I have half a gizmo breadboarded - old school simple.

I'll finish it at the weekend I hope....

Hi Leo, I've just seen this.

I did the magnet flip on a burstbucker pro (2?) for a friend from my hometown. I posted the link on here somewhere...

[Sock Puppet]

Yes, I know exactly what tests you were referring to, that's a 4 wire humbucker and the diode/capacitor let's you use the digital multimeter to test the coil...

OK A few things while messing about after the magnetometer had me confused.

Firstly, to refresh the polarity of magnets and the North-seeking...

[Sock Puppet]

I didn't go far, I was looking for my glasses. I just tried a magnetometer app on my phone and I'll work it out tomorrow when I can remeber the pole naming...

Sorry, it's been a while since I was on here and the thread has been in "confusing order mode" for me.

Cheers,

You don't say where you are but maybe a speaker L-Pad attenuator would be a good starting point. Buy a large one the same impedance as your speaker.

Hi Jason, yes the Ibanez neck and bridge use different magnet orientation.
