Advance look at the gamechanger website

[PeteDuBaldo]

I got that...but specifically what do they mean? Series, parallel, in-phase, out-of-phase, etc.?

Think of it this way
Stacking AA batteries + to - is series.
Lining up AA batteries + to + and - to - is parallel

Think of phase as choosing how you want the polarity to be dictated for each coil.

You will have


Bank A - 5 presets
Bank B - 5 presets

Bank Z - 15 presets


Select the 15 presets for bank Z on your computer in your choice of series, parallel, in/out of phase. Each setting can be different.

Assign those presets to bank A/B in any toggle position.

Starting the videos now. Looks very impressive and innovative!

Understood on the definition and all...but how does this translate to the green & blue? Also, there are eight line "columns" depicted in the vids, and then a horizontal line running through them. In some presets the horizontal lines run through all 8 columns, some don't. See attached screenshot.

I've been watching the videos for about 20 minutes. I'm sold, Pete?

 

[Stratty316]

not for Lefties 'eh? Sorry guys...

Looks interesting. Looking forward to trying one out!

 

[metalmarty]

I can watch those guys just goofing about for HOURS. There´s magic there that you hardly ever find on a record, all that creativity flowing about. Brilliant! You just wanna sit there with a beer and a nice cigar and just watch them create.

Gamechanger looks awesome, want one bad now. Hope some other colors and a maple board are written in the stars somewhere (candy apple red and birdseye neck anyone ) AND during the Ending Credits there´s a HHH Reflex being born if I´m not mistaken!!

EDIT Just looked at the specs and there will be a maple board option and colors are yet to be determined! Cool cool!

 

[Smellybum]

Speechless -almost.

Sterling - thank you -
I don't recall ever sitting so still in front of a screen since I saw pulp fiction! - What an amazing set of videos, and my tiny head now comprehends the gamechanger.

And i want one.

Ever since I started playing I've bought guitars for different sounds, and t think I can get 'em all in one box is crazy-mad.

You guys have done it with this - I'd go shopping for new premises becuase once the good people of namm see this they'll all want one...


Do knuckleheads get advanced ordering priveleges?

Outstanding.

 

[Roubster]

This is just awesome!!! This is not only a Gamechanger, but a GAS killer once you have it...almost 9 million possibilities is crazyness. I definitely want one of these in the future! Hats off EBMM!!!

 

[jzeijen]

Just awesome! Watched all the videos in a row..
Although the guitar looks cool, I don't even care how it looks! With those tonal possibilities..

Better start saving.. again

I'm sure the colors and chart will be explained on the GameChanger website once it goes live tomorrow.


There is a great chance that I am wrong, but this system is supposed to be very intuitive. Therefore:



From what I can gather looking at that pic and looking at the sample pic on the website,

The coils are listed all the way on the left, numbered sequentially from bridge to neck.

The vertical lines show which coils are connected to one another (if two coils start on the same line they are in parallel, if one coil starts on a line where another coil stops it is series)

Blue is probably reverse phase

Green is probably standard phase

Pic below labeled (3S1)P(2S4)
(coil 3 in series with coil 1) IN PARALLEL With (coil 2 in series with coil 4)

Ah! That makes perfect sense Pete...and at the same time makes my jaw drop at the possibilites!

EDIT: If you watch video 3 at the beginning w/ Dave Larue and pull up the bass spec sheet at the same time while BP goes through bank Z, it helps a lot!

 

[telemike]

Sounds great for studio players and tone seekers.

 

[jamminjim]

I'm in awe, this is really something.

 

[PeteDuBaldo]

Batphone for NAMM Show 860-268-4497

Give me a call tomorrow (after 2pm west coast) and I will hook you up!

Here's what I mentioned in my previous post. At this point in the vid, BP is on selection #7 of bank Z:

Coil 1 in series with coil 4 (1s4). Awesome stuff!

 

[Ricman]

Just finished watching, and I'm smitten. What a concept. Congrats to EBMM.

 

[LisaIs]

Such a brilliant concept. BP and the gang are geniuses.

 

[tudo]

This is really awesome, I could watch these videos all day!

... AND during the Ending Credits there´s a HHH Reflex being born if I´m not mistaken!!

I think you're right. It's right there at the beginning of video 1, staring us in the face! To get all the 8.5 million combinations, you've got to have 6 coils, based on what's been stated in the videos.
