Kaizen 6 middle position mod.

[gabetreiyer]

Hi guys, hope some of you can shed some light on this thread.
I just bought a Kaizen 6, and I want to know how to get the two inner coils in the middle position instead of the "de facto" outer coils as is the sound i want in that position.
I saw some pots that said "Bridge Inner Coil" & "Neck outer coil" on the circuit board.
Any help will be apreciated.
Thank you so much!

Not a Kaizen owner (yet), but I know there are trim pots under the hood where you can set which coils are active when the guitar is in the middle position on the selector. Not sure which way to turn each trim pot, so I'd message EBMM directly and ask. Surprised there's no tutorial on YT.

Side note- I played the Kaizen for the first time at the guitar store last week. It was phenomenal! Hoping there will be more Kaizen discussion on this forum.

Have you tried contacting EBMM customer service? I always find they are incredibly helpful.

I just got my Kaizen yesterday and took the back cover off this morning. It looks like they did away with the trim pots that were on the prototype model I saw on YouTube. I'm no expert on PCB, but it does't look there's an easy way to switch coil configuration in the middle position without unsoldering/resoldering. That being said, it sounds freaking perfect in the middle position with the stock setting (bridge and neck outer coils).

Yeah, looks like you would have to do some surgery to accomplish that.

Thank you Guys! I ended up returning it.
