But there is a 3rd thing closely related to this, right? Parallel instead of serial output of the humbuckers. It sounds amazing. No volume drop, single coil sound, but still the hum cancelling of humbuckers. It is just amazing and do it on many of my guitars :)

@SCALEBEASTS 3 года назад

I've rewired two guitars and struggled to make sense of the color coding for the Humbuckers in then each time, but the whole setup makes a lot more sense to me after this video. It at least explains the usual instruction to tape two of the wires together: it's both coil's coil end.

@michaelmenkes8085 3 года назад

I have a 2015 Thunderbird that was described by the original website as having "coil tapped" pickups with mini toggles which create a bit of a mid scoop and increase noise but its a humbucker. I';ve read in a bass book (The Gibson bass book) that this was actually a coil split. I have no idea what it is really. Would I be able to tell if it had 3 wires (tap) or 4 (split)?

If a humbucker can be made to split, surely can be made to tap, since there's still one of coils which can be tapped.

@GregStraub42 3 года назад

@That52TeleGuy 3 года назад

Would of liked a discussion on phase switching; maybe in an another video?

@robbiedaug Год назад

First, i wonder if some sort of capacitor or resistor, or whatever it's called (i have no idea), can be added to boost the output of the now split, single coil of the humbucker so that the single will have a similar output of a regular single coil, instead of having "half of a humbucker" (weaker) output in that single. And i wonder if THAT capacitor or resistor, or whatever it's called, can be canceled when the humbucker is NOT split so that the two singles that make up the humbucker will be as they were before being split.

@joogledlay1225 3 года назад

You need to see a video called Single Coil vs Coil Splitting by Darrell Braun here on RU-vid so you can see that splitting the coil does not make for a weak sound from the single coil left sounding. In fact, even when there is a difference, it’s an ever so small difference that is just different, not worse. It can be a sound that someone thinks is worse than a single coil and another person can think is better. The comments section there from honest people is proof. It’s a matter of taste or opinion. I actually prefer the coil split over the thinner more toy-like sound a true single coil produces. That’s also an opinion. I don’t think a coil split sounds exactly like a single but darned close and close enough for me.

@JC-11111 3 года назад

Well, you can coil tap a single coil but you can't coil split one so that tells you right there they're completely different things. Kinda like that 3 wire Tele pickup you posted last week. Coil tapped. 👍 Couldn't you split & tap a humbucker? If you wanted a fatter sound than just one coil? You could do one coil and then tap 300 turns from the 2nd coil? Could that work?

@willstocks4916 3 года назад

Yeah, single coils are usually hotter than one side of a humbucker - more windings on a coil. I always wondered if you could have a humbucker with one coil wound hot with a tap. When using it as a humbucker, have balanced coils, when splitting it engages the tap to give the single coil more output. I can’t see why this wouldn’t be achievable.

@jeffrichter5735 3 года назад

I believe that's close to what Dylan did on his custom split Humbucker.

@grayaj23 3 года назад

@@willstocks4916 Do you mean "splitting it disengages the tap"? I can see how that would work. With like 3000 winds on one side and 2000 on the other, when it's a humbucker the "fat" side is tapped at 2000 to balance out, but when split you bypass the tapped lead and use the full 3000 winds -- like that? Excuse the naive question, but does the humbucker setting have to be balanced? Can you have 3000 winds on one coil and 2000 on the other coil of an HB?

@JC-11111 3 года назад

@@grayaj23 you can, definitely have unbalanced coils. I believe some manufacturers offer humbuckers built this way, as a matter of fact. PRS does something to their so that when you split, it doesn't sound like half of a humbucker. It's got a full single coil sound but I'm not sure how he does it. Whether it's with more winds on one bobbin or what. I guess if the inductance and henrys were in single coil range, you could add in a resistor in series with the normal split coil to up the resistance when split to give a fuller sound. I'm not a pickup manufacturer so, I have no idea if that would even work

@DylanTalksTone 3 года назад

they need to be pretty close in wind count to stay quiet

@gtritany 3 года назад

Doesn't series//parallel solve the problem of volume drop? Sounds like humbucker/single coil, with little variation on volume. What do you think of it? Thanks for the vid.

@dispersemedia 3 года назад

My guitar has a split/series/parallel switch for the bridge pickup. The loudness of parallel is actually closer to split than series.

@gtritany 3 года назад

Also, I think the volume drop in this case would actually be desirable for the use of distortion and overdrive.

@kyledriscollmusic Год назад

I heard Rhett Shull say he doesn't like the sound of coil split humbuckers and I think he's right. The only Fralin pickups I've ever been less than thrilled with are the ones setup for coil splitting (one is hotter so there's no volume drop as Dylan describes his). They sound great compared with the original Kiesel pickups, but compared to my other fralins there's no competition

Having the volume at like, 3 or 4 where people set it when turning down, that rolls off highs. Tapping basically turns a modern sound and output into a vintage, lower output and sound

2:28 This is a parallel HB he's describing. Series HB (the usual wiring) would have the finish wire of one coil joined to the start of the other coil.

No… you are incorrect…. Start finish… Finish start. If you do it your way, it will work, but it won’t be hum cancelling.

@Kevin.odonnell 3 года назад

Now, could you apply the coil tap idea to a humbucker? Say get a dpdt toggle and tap both coils at like 8 and then 11k? That would be pretty sweet. A little have your cake and eat it too. If only one could adjust the magnetism that way...

@dispersemedia 3 года назад

I've been thinking of a similar idea. Basically on humbucker that has a series/parallel switch, both coils are tapped on the series position (about 60-70% of the full winding), while both coils use the full winding on the parallel position. This way the volume difference won't be too far off when switching between series and parallel. I just don't have the experience and equipment to build a pickup so I don't really know if that concept would work.

My tele build has a tapped seymour duncan quarter pounder in the bridge and a Fralin P-90(humbucker) in the neck with 500k pots. I have chosen to balance the untapped SD with the P-90. The tap has a resistor across it to get more classic telecaster single coil sound though its very quiet. I've used a 5 way switch with P90 in the middle position. Its not hum cancelling in 2 & 4 which I think is telling me the polarity needs to be switched. To be honest the P90 on its own gets the most use.

10/23/2021: I assume you will not answer my questions (as usual), but I will ask anyway.

You know, just like a Telecaster can do.

@voodoocustompickups2547 3 года назад

I always correct people when they call a coil split a "coil tap." Its a pet peeve of mine

@willstocks4916 3 года назад

i would argue that every split is a tap, but not every tap is a split. if you view a humbucker as one complete pickup, a split is a tap at 50% of the winding. i do agree with your statment in principle though, and i'd rather people say "split" for a 50% tap on a humbucker, rather than "tap" as i think it makes the communication clearer.

@DMSProduktions 3 года назад

Tap/split were NEVER the same thing! (Tho there is NOTHING to stop you tapping an individual coil of a hum bucker!)

Oh come on! Everybody knows what you mean when you say "coil tap" a humbucker. People are thinking too much on this. If you want to get literal about it then "coil splitting" would specifically mean parallel wiring.
