Also, can I seperate them - one neck and one in the middle where it is?Thanks for the help Ben.I think the answers would be yes and yes. Essentially, the coils are reverse wound, reverse polarity, but in parallel, and not in series. I'm not 100 percent sure.Still, yes and yes, I'm 95% certain.

StupidDyne Project # 215.I'm fucking around with this 2 string p bass:Using it as an etch-o-sketch. So I've got a really dumb question, but I thought I better ask before I get all nutty.Can I just split that pickup into two pickups? I mean, I could easily use just one pup but I got to thinking that I could set it up SS. Can I?Me troglodyte.

I just put out a record on my record label. Does that count as a DIY project?

japmn wrote:Does that work? I would assume adding another cap in parallel would just cause the voltage to move through the path of least resistance. Do caps in parallel have an additive effect?Yes, caps in parallel have an additive effect (like resistors in series). Caps in Series have a reductive effect, like resistors in parallel.It's the same equations for caps as it is for resistors, just reversed regarding series vs. parallel.

I want to use a 4PDT switch in a distortion pedal to change the values of 2 capacitors to other values at the flip of a switch. Could this harm the IC in any way? I also imagine the possibility of a loud pop is possible too. Anything else? Should I even try this?

I also imagine the possibility of a loud pop is possible too. Anything else? Should I even try this?Could you make it so the switch adds another capacitor in parallel to the first one, rather than hard-switching between the two? That way, at least one capacitor is always in circuit.Does that work? I would assume adding another cap in parallel would just cause the voltage to move through the path of least resistance. Do caps in parallel have an additive effect?

Awesome! That is how it shall be done.
