This collects all Tutorials<\/a> on Humbucking pairs under one menu heading, including:<\/p>\n

Wiring All-Humbucking Single-Coil Pickup Pairs<\/a> – Excerpts of Figures 23-26 and the Specification from the original Patent 9,401,134<\/a> describing humbucking pairs and switching.<\/p>\n

Paul Reed Smith Guitars 513 \u2122 model pickup switching \u2013 General principles of humbucking pairs<\/a> – A few preliminary notes on tonal effects.<\/p>\n

Notes on Humbucking Pair Placement<\/a> – Shows 3 different pole configurations for 4 pickups & describes some of the likely differences in effects for 12 different possible humbucking pairs; analyzes the 4-pickup Fender Marauder(tm), with many more choices of combinations (81) and discusses why that may have caused the Marauder to fail in the market.<\/p>\n

An All-Humbucking 5-Way Superswitch Circuit<\/a> – Discusses with diagrams and photos how to wire a 5-way superswitch into a 3-coil Strat to get all five outputs humbucking, including serial, parallel, in-phase and contra-phase connections, instead of just 2.<\/p>\n

HB Supersw Circuit for 3 P\/U w\/ Odd Pole at Neck<\/a> – Shows how to design and draw switching and soldering diagrams for two versions of a 5-way superswitch circuit for a 3-coil guitar, with the odd pole in the neck position instead of the middle.<\/p>\n

On Changing the Personality of a Guitar – Part 1<\/a> – Excerpts from Patent 9,401,134 showing drawings and specifications for a means of changing the personality of a guitar by plugging in different pole configurations, and compensating with a cross-connection circuit between the pickups and switching, to put the humbucking pair (or quad) in a particular order, such as from warm to bright.<\/p>\n

On Changing the Personality of a Guitar \u2013 Part 2<\/a> – Shows how the math works to determine just how many different pole configurations (personalities) and humbucking pair tones (timbres) you can get for K pickups, using examples of K = 2, 3, 4, & 5.\u00a0 For K number of pickups = 2, 3, 4, 5,\u00a0 you can get 2^(K-1) = 2, 4, 8, 16 different kinds of tonally separate pole configurations (or personalities), K*(K-1) = 2, 6, 12, 20 different humbucking pair tones for each personality, and 2*K*(K-1) = 4, 12, 24, 40 different humbucking pair tones for all the personalities together.\u00a0 It implies that any K number of different personalities may produce all 2*K*(K-1) different tones.<\/p>\n

Provisional Patent Application Filed for Humbucking Quads<\/a> – Filed Aug 6, 2016.\u00a0 Demonstrates a surprising number of possible tone connections.\u00a0 For example, 20 for just two dual-coil humbucking pickups, when most 2-humbucker guitars have a 3-way switch.<\/p>\n

General Equations for Combinations of Humbucking Pairs<\/a> – Includes formulas for: Unique combinations of KK dual-coil humbucking pickups taken MM at a time, NKK,MM<\/sub>, and Unique combinations of K match single-coil pickups taken M pairs at a time, SNK,M<\/sub>.\u00a0 Combinations of pickups don\u2019t tell you how to connect them together.\u00a0 They only tell you how many you have to work with.<\/p>\n

Applying HB Pairs Analysis to the Paul Reed Smith 513 Guitar<\/a> – How many humbucking pair tonal outputs are possible with a single coil and two humbuckers? \u00a0 16<\/p>\n

How Many Useful Outputs from Five Coils?<\/a> – How many humbucking pairs and quads are possible using 5 singe-coil pickups?<\/p>\n

Applying HB Pairs Analysis to the Music-Man St. Vincent Guitar<\/a> – How many humbucking pair tonal outputs are possible with three humbuckers?\u00a0 18<\/p>\n

Rewiring Humbucking Pickups to Four Output Wires<\/a> – Proposed standard for wiring humbucking pickups and tutorial on rewiring method<\/p>\n

Preliminary Results of Patent Pending 20-way Dual Humbucker Switching<\/a> – Spectral analysis of dual-humbucker guitar, with two Hofner-style mini humbuckers and strings strummed over six frets, shows 17 distinct tones out of 20 possible.\u00a0 Shows much wider relative tonal range and finer tonal distinctions than equivalent standard 3-way switches (using the same pickups).<\/p>\n

Second Patent Filed: Combinations of Pickups with Potentially Unique Tones<\/a> – Patent filed June 7, 2017 developing the math and circuit topologies to show how many different tones are possible from 1 to 8 single-coil pickups (Table 1), 1 to 4 humbuckers in humbucking arrangements (Table 2), and 1 to 8 matched single-coil pickups in humbucking pairs, quads, hexes and octets (Table 3).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
