OK kids here it is installed in a 25th


Volume

tone (its push pull to give the 5 way 2 banks of choices total 10 presets

3 rotary encoder knob.....proto is 15 pickup wiring choices that s called the incoder

One of my frustrations in the area of instrument design is that we are hard wired to the limitations of the standard 3 and five way switches...there are so many combinations available to you that you never hear. Can you imagine having a 12 cyl car and only be able to use 7 because of the transmission?

Whe I did the bongo I was trying for a programmable switching but it was noisy and the signal became digital and colored.

THe game changer is the ability to get over 56 different combinations and the signal is still analog and never enters the digital switching area. The switching is silent and you can put any sound in any position.

You will have the ability to program your guitar from the web or from your iphone as an app. You can store favorites for different gigs or recording...you can swap patches and you can download rock stars patches

If you want to go back to the factory settings just hold the encoder down for 20 seconds and its back to new.....

THink about this on a bass single h neck in series that inner coil of the humbucking in parrallel One active one passive......

Here is the sheet from my iphone that looks kind of like pirate maps!

Awesome! :) Thanks for sharing BP.

LOL at the pirate maps analogy.

Best wishes for a successful venture (and guitar world domination)!

WOW now thats worth waiting for, cool as hell BP, to me versatility in one axe has become a must, the 25th did that for me but to be able to do so much more is freaking awesome:cool::D

OK. After contemplating the far reaching implications of this ...

Is it possible to implement something like this on a Mr Horsepower-style pickup array? :D How many combinations would that be?

(Just giving you a hard time, BP!)

Great stuff!!

This looks like a really interesting concept, especially with the ability to swap patches.
